Hi Jim, Thanks for sharing the results.
On a personal note, a couple questions really just didn’t work for me. But, I’m an exception and I suspect some others here in the Devel group are as well. But for the general public, the questions were mostly fine. Us exceptions may be (at least in part) a reason for some of the strangeness in the results. So for fun, I’m going to answer them here and put some comments in on why they don’t work for me. > 1. What do you use FreeDOS for? Devel, testing and a maybe when I someday find time a little gaming. > 2. How do you run FreeDOS? Hmmm. How about I answer mostly yes? On Pre & Post 2K machines and VMs. I don’t currently own any 20/21 machines. > 3. Does FreeDOS share the same hardware with another system? Ummm, Can I answer as Yes, No and sometimes? Recently put together a retro-pc using my Pentium Pro and other hardware I had laying around. All mid-90’s hardware. This machine multi-boots FreeDOS, MS-DOS (6.22), PC-DOS (7.0 7.01 and 7.1), and Win98SE (for a couple Windows Games). Eventually, it will get DR-DOS, OpenDOS and maybe a couple other things like SuSE Linux and Caldera. Then there is a Early 2000’s battleship sized Toshiba laptop, dual booting FreeDOS and OpenSuSE. Then there is a Mid 2000’s Acer Netbook that only has FreeDOS on it. Then there is DOSBox, VirtualBox and VMware instances on a MacBook Pro. Then I’ve booted it in QEMU, under Linux in the Cloud on modern server hardware. Then…….. > 4. What is your level of DOS experience? Lots. :-) ——— My biggest issue was with question 3. I just could pick one of those single radio buttons. I left it blank. I’m an exception not the rule. I think it was fine for most users. :-) Jerome _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
