FastTracker 2.08 runs fine for me under latest HIMEM and EMM386.
PKUNZIP failing unless the NOEMS option is specified, now that's a

EMM386 v2.05 breaks my FDCONFIG.SYS! When booting, I get the following 
output:



FreeDOS HIMEM64 3.11...
HIMEM - KBC A20 method used
EMM386 2.05...

EMM386 isn't involved in parsing CONFIG.SYS at all, but you can try the 
emmflesh.zip update if you want to see about the latest.




The problem is now solved. :) I tried the latest EMM386, but could only 
boot by using the NOVDS parameter. Of course, this is no use when it 
comes to running FastTracker II since FT2 refuses to run, saying that 
The memory manager does not support Virtual DMA Specification at 
:. It never occurred to me until now to try booting *without* 
EMM386, so I tried this next. FT2 now seems to work fine, at least for 
long enough to play back a couple of tracks on the PC speaker. 
Relatively simple songs actually sound quite good on the speaker. :)

[Freedos-user] Short Introduction

2005-09-22 Thread mueller . b
Hello,

my name is Bernd Mueller. I design and program Embedded 
Systems (mostly x86, M16C x51 and AVR). The x86 stuff ist 16-bit 
real mode. My favourite programming languages are Assembler, 
Pascal and C.

I am interested in FreeDOS and if my time permits, I am going to 
contribute something to the project.

Regards, Bernd Mueller.

 No, error message says parsing error, not read error. For me, there

In Linux, you can insert a blank floppy in the
first drive and issue the command:
dd if=???.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=2880
from the comman line, where ???.img is replaced by
the name of the img file you are using.

The line in question is indeed syntactically correct.

The error message is caused by a read error because (1) everything works 
fine when using either EMM386 v2.04 or EMM386 v2.05 with VDS disabled 
(NOVDS parameter); (2) the kernel cannot read the command interpreter 
from the disk; (3) the kernel cannot read any file specified when it 
asks for the full path to the command interpreter to use.


Of course, it would make much more sense if the kernel could report that 
it was unable to read the specified file from the disk instead of 
reporting parsing errors on lines which are perfectly valid.

 Again: this error message indicates error in parsing. Because line in
quesion is correct, then error is in broken memory (for example, some wring
code incorrectly writes to wrong memory places).
