Fairly sure. I noticed that it was the problem under DOSBox. So, I added a DOSBox detector to V8Power Tools and skip it inside DOSBox. After hearing of the issue, the issue under QEMU sounded exactly the same. So, went straight to the RAM Drive creation and skipped it. FDI works fine afterwords. All other external utilities that are used by FDI are used in may places. So, if one of those was the culprit, it would exhibit issues elsewhere as well. HOWEVER, that being said, that does not mean there is a bug in SHSURDRV. The problem could be in the kernel, freecom. Or, even possibly in my FDITEMP.BAT. I have not tested had a chance to fully examine the problem. But, so lar it appears to be SHSURDRV. > I often use SHSURDRV (386, XMSv3 version) as RAM drive > under QEMU with no problems. > Of course, my version is reassembled without the (bloated, unused by > me) ZLIB/"GZIP" stuff (so it's only like 6 kb now). > > What QEMU version are you using? Don’t know about everyone else.
