Hi! DOSEMU2 expert Stas mentions his FDPP patch mentioning Test Drive 2:
https://github.com/dosemu2/fdpp/commit/c6efa7a203c8aafe8da952d6405ad5dfb49fd469#diff-e9118389bd658345f94d54c6159dc16b60454e193c33f16184d4fd5526180329

However, FreeDOS 1.3 allegedly already has that patch?
So other FDPP improvements compared to classic FreeDOS
may be necessary to let TD2 run properly.
Also, he points out that TD2 will not run from G: to Z:,
it must be run from a drive letter in the range (A: ?) to F:
Thanks for helping in spite of seeing us as competitors :-)
Regards, Eric
