For that particular reason (among others), we often keep them in case of unforeseen regressions. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/ellis/old/ Actually, that's the reason I never uploaded "Mar-18" for him. If you want, I can email you that version, but I doubt it's much better! You could also try his new (closed source) drivers. (Yes, he directly blames me for closing sources. Sigh. Totally imaginary offense, but hey, what can you do? Totally against FreeDOS and SourceForge, alas.) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15785527/dos/file/drivers.zip In fact, if you're really adventurous (and a glutton for punishment), email him directly! I wouldn't really recommend it, but if you insist on knowing why they don't work (assuming you've tried all of the above), that may be your only answer. But keep in mind that Jack is not exactly a friendly person. http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=uide P.S. Honestly, I don't even want to mention any of this. It's too annoying. But, for clarity, if you really want to know, those are your only options. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
