Hi! > I do not use EMM386 (JEMMX has been loaded with NOEMS option).
The NOEMS option just means "do not reserve 64 kB EMS 3 page frame area so more UMB space is free". You can still use EMS 4 calls (which need no page frame). Also, importantly, JEMMEX always uses protected mode, NOEMS option or not. And in that mode, JEMMEX always simulates the A20 gate visible from DOS, because the real A20 gate is only switched on once and then left on by JEMMEX... So it still behaves differently towards your hardware compared to HIMEM, XMGR or similar drivers :-) > https://github.com/ya-mouse/dos-utils You have interesting ports and tools :-) CURL, FlashROM, getargs, NVRAM, PCIutils, watt32, ZLIB, a tiny binary OpenWatcom patch (what does it patch?)... >> I can try to load FreeDOS from USB stick instead of PXE. >> >> That might also be interesting, yes. >> >> You mean like via RUFUS (bare bones) install? http://rufus.akeo.ie/ > > Something like that but running from Linux. Maybe my sys-freedos-linux is interesting for you then. It is basically a script to compile a FreeDOS boot sector for a FAT style of your choice and put it on a disk or diskimage. Other steps (copy kernel etc. to the disk) can be done without extra tools because Linux supports FAT anyway. The script definitely is not very automatic and you may need to provide extra params manually but you sound experienced enough to figure out... Feel free to ask questions about it. Note that depending on BIOS etc you may want to partition the USB stick and/or put a bootable MBR or boot menu as well. For example syslinux, grub, grub4dos. http://ericauer.cosmodata.virtuaserver.com.br/soft/specials/ Regards, Eric PS: Thanks for the cosmodata mirror :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
