I've tried it. The snag is that in my testing it won't start on modern hardware. QEMM386 (v8) and 386MAX fail to initialise and freeze the machine in my testing on various models of Core 2 Duo and Core i5. MS EMM386 and FreeDOS CEMM work fine. I think the formerly-commercial ones try to do clever stuff with ROM mapping and fail, probably due to race conditions in code that wasn't written expecting to run on CPUs doing well over a gigahertz. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 227612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
