syslinux-6.03.zip (from iBiblio above) does have eltorito.sys (and
*.asm for NASM), 1554 bytes, calling itself version "1.5".

Is that what you meant? So you want someone to put a README telling
people that it contains "eltorito.sys"? By itself that's not much
help, is it?

Quoting the SysLinux wiki:

http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK

"
MEMDISK and generic El Torito CD-ROM driver for DOS
-
If you're using MEMDISK to boot DOS from a CD-ROM (using ISOLINUX),
you might find the generic El Torito CD-ROM driver (eltorito.sys) by
Gary Tong and Bart Lagerweij useful. It is now included with the
Syslinux distribution, in the dosutil directory. See the file
dosutil/eltorito.txt for more information.

Example usage of eltorito.sys in CONFIG.SYS:

device=eltorito.sys /X:MSCD0001

Corresponding MSCDEX command which can be placed in AUTOEXEC.BAT:

MSCDEX /X:MSCD0001 /L:X

Where X is the drive letter.

The eltorito site is still available through archive.org.  See
https://web.archive.org/web/20150922034605/http://www.nu2.nu/download.php?sFile=eltorito14.zip
for download links.

[Freedos-user] Ynt: UIDE.SYS

[Ercan Ersoy]

Thanks, but I can't FreeDOS to supported SATA. UDVD2 didn't work. Also, I 
develop a live cd that for GPLv2+ licensing, I wouldn't close source drivers. I 
using UIDE.SYS for SATA driver, this driver again and this fails error are 
"Disks run the BIOS: 1". Please, I would help for this.


Thanks for replies.

Hi. I'm a developed FreeDOS live cd. I want to my live cd has native SATA 
support. But my live CD doesn't support. I laboured UIDE.SYS native SATA 
support on my live cd. I can't my live cd supported native SATA. Tested on 
Oracle VirtualBox and real hardware. But UIDE.SYS driver legacy PATA supports 
very well.


I would like help for this. How I can configure CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT?


A part of CONFIG.SYS of my live CD's boot floppy image:


DEVICE=XMGR.SYS
DEVICE=UIDE.SYS /D:OP1
DEVICE=UIDE.SYS /D:OP2


A part of AUTOEXEC.BAT of my live CD's boot floppy image:


SHSUCDX /~ /D:OP1


Thanks for replies.

If you are inquiring about the AHCI SATA driver, I have an Acer Aspire and
this is the only driver that gives me Drive Letter Access (DLA) :

Re: [Freedos-user] Ynt: Ynt: Ynt: Ynt: Ynt: Urgent FreeDos Keyboard Layout Hardware Help

[Tom Ehlert]

as usual.

urgent problem.
even 'Solver of this problem will be rewarded with 500$.'

a lot of more or less helpful messages exchanged.

then all of sudden the original poster vanishes, without any feedback
if all the given advice helped, or not, and how he solved his problem
(or not).

after wasting our time this is not nice behaviour.

Hi Ercan,

if I understand you correctly, then the problem is not
with the harddisk but with CD / DVD / BluRay? Then you
may want to use the more specific UDVD2 driver instead.

Note that for live CD, you can also often use the tiny
ELTORITO driver because after booting from CD, you get
temporary BIOS support for easy CD access.

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/ellis/

Newer improved, closed source drivers, on mail request:

http://optimizr.dyndns.org/

I could not find a nice link for ELTORITO.SYS, but check

www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/boot/syslinux/

as that may have useful information...? Original site for
the driver was http://www.nu2.nu/eltorito/ which is gone.

Regards, Eric
