Ok, I restored FDXMS286 back on the software list (Base). >> Please have a look and let me know if I need to update anything >> else.<http://www.freedos.org/software/> > > UTIL: > > you could delete UDMA, XCDROM, XDMA from the software list so people > won't download them again except directly from Ibiblio if they happen to > stumble upon it.
