Sorry, Ladislav and Florian... I realyzed that I was not clear in may question: I want to know about this driver: "XMGR and UIDE" with SATA, available in the link bellow. The older XDMA.SYS I have installed in many of machines and I know for sure that it is stable...

I use it on my DOS only machine. It is really great driver.

[Freedos-devel] UDMA drivers, please report usage...
That is a prety impressive driver... I would like to know who is using it and in what situations, specially real-world cases (as oposed to simulations, not fantasy :) ) thanks to all, Alain Eric Auer escreveu: > Hi! > >>> [...] and that you can use Jack's UIDE driver with UDMA >>> and SATA harddisk and cdrom support and [...] >> Does this mean anything about fast SATA drivers? > > No idea, please find out... > > www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/udma+drivers/ > > Eric - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Freedos-devel] USB driver
Hi :-) > This may be help in developping free dos usb drivers.. > http://libusb.wiki.sourceforge.net/ Talking about that, using DLL/DPMI-ish JLM drivers for JEMM386 seems to support easy use of either ASM or C, which might give interesting possibilities for example for porting the Linux Synaptics touchpad driver or ALSA Project sound drivers ;-). However, in both cases you would typically use existing ASM code for the DOS part, for example ctmouse and vsb (virtual sound blaster) as the existing Linux C code only does the work of talking to the hardware for you, it does not provide any normal DOS interfaces / APIs for it. In the sound case, using the DOSEMU virtual sound blaster written in C might help. Note that both the touchpad and the sound suggestion as well as the libusb USB thing are only ideas - you can be sure that no matter which fancy toolkit you use it would still be a lot of work to actually WRITE a driver. Just in case somebody is bored :-) Eric PS: Smaller candidates are writing a free ElTorito driver (or asking Bart of nu2.nu whether he could make his free) and a free ASPIDISK driver. Plus maybe a free PCMCIA / CF driver (needs a bit of PnP, some FreeDOS initdisk.c parts, some SHSURDRV ramdisk parts, some PCMCIA from Konstantin and some non DMA IDE from UIDE or XDMA :-)). Those would already be very USEFUL and still be SMALL projects to write. PPS: I hear that ExpressCard is actually PCIe-and-USB style, and PCI, AGP, PCIe all work with DOS so that is good news :-). - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Freedos-devel] USB driver
This may be help in developping free dos usb drivers.. http://libusb.wiki.sourceforge.net/ libusb About This site is the home for the libusb project. It's aim is to create a library for use by user level applications to access USB devices regardless of OS. libusb is an open source project licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. Status Johannes Erdfelt founded the project and lead development through 2007. During this time, libusb-0.1 was developed, stabilised, and adopted by a wide range of projects. Development slowed from that point. Daniel Drake adopted the project in January 2008, with the aim of developing libusb-1.0. This new branch adds features missing from the first release.
