Sure - DOS does not modify files on your Linux partition such as the LILO configuration, but you can do this yourself from within Linux. You will find many emails discussing how to do this when you search in the mailing list archives. There are also webpages / howtos about booting DOS with Lilo. > I just received a 8-bit PIC microcontroller with a low pin development > board. It has a USB interface.

The stack itself is closed source, but it comes with documented examples, even examples written in BASIC. Basically DOSUSB does the lowlevel stuff for you and gives you an interface for sending commands. The license is now "free for personal use", but might improve. > I found a lot of 5 3com Ethernet cards which are supported by DOS. > They came in the mail not too long ago and I now want to install them. Find a suitable packet driver and load it to get the lowlevel support, the rest is done by a TCP/IP stack which is usually NOT a driver but a library compiled into the apps which use internet, for example Arachne. > So, would someone kindly point me to some TCP/IP resources? > I would like to start messing around with TCP/IP... A popular library is WATTCP / WATT32 - is free and comes with some examples, but I think you can also buy extra documentation. > Eric: I'm still willing to test LBACache.
