When was the last Norton DOS version? Is it still supported? IIRC, it used CWSDPMI from DJGPP, so you could maybe?? ask on news://comp.os.msdos.djgpp for indirect, unofficial help. * https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.os.msdos.djgpp > I have developed a Freedos alternative boot disk and I'm asking about the > video card because of suggestions > that freedos cannot support restoring a ghost image to a usb hard drive.

They have bounties and willing developers, so it couldn't hurt to throw some money their way (if that truly is what you want rather than just buying the other driver). It's improved a ton in recent years, even in stability. They even have partial NTVDM! But it's not perfect (is anything?). * https://reactos.org/donating _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
