Hi Tom, you are completely wrong about that virus. That it SEEMS to come from Bart, Joe, MartinS, Brian, Jeremy, ... only means that SOMEBODY is infected who knows all their addresses. Modern viruses scan the system for addresses and randomly select one address as target and another one as FAKE sender.
The only thing which you can know for sure is the sender IP. So if many of the viruses would be Received-From: ... some Brasilian internet provider, you could assume that a Brasilian subscriber of one of the FreeDOS lists is infected. By the way, QUESTION: On non-Intel chipsets, UMBPCI UMBs are often not cached at all (i.e. not only write-through but completely uncached). UMBPCI.txt recommends not to let Windows load performance-critical data into UMBs for that reason. When I do DOS=HIGH,UMB in FreeDOS, I think by carefully selecting which drivers I load into UMBs I can get good performance already, right? How about DOSDATA=UMB in new kernels then? Should I avoid it when I am using slow hardware UMBs? For now, I decide to load LBAcache low but keep CDRcache and the CD-ROM drivers in UMBs - they are slow anyway. Same for things like mouse drivers which are not performance critical anyway.
