Re: [Freedos-user] winmodems
So how much actual hardware is there left on a winmodem then? Is it all just a ADC/DAC line converter/amp and nothing else,, not even I/O port address lines to it? --chris http://nxdos.sourceforge.net/ Arkady V.Belousov wrote: > Then this .sys driver should (1) emulate hardware UART and IRQs (which >is possible only in protected mode) and should (2) implement all low-level >asynchronous protocols, which in real modems implemented internally with >help of dedicated DSP.

Suddenly a flash come across my mind -- You and those replied all correct, this is me who're wrong. I have to apologize to those replied, I'm awfully wrong. My problem is NOT "MBR", and I got stuck in MBR. > And, if MS-FDISK was to write MBR code in any case, then this was >should broke any boot-managers, including MS' own itself, which comes with >XP. My problem is another thing ... FD-FDISK refuse to "make a Linux hard disk to FreeDOS", I guess it should be MBR, but I'm wrong. The problem is simple. I delete the Linux partitions and make re-partitioned with FD-FDISK, but it did not update the boot sector to DOS even I did a "FORMAT C: /S", when I boot up I can still see "LILO" on screen with the PC hanged. Then I force a "FDISK /MBR" to solve the problem, this time I can boot up FreeDOS! Or use MS-FDISK (7.01) without "FDISK /MBR", then use FreeDOS "FORMAT C: /S", FreeDOS booted. I just don't understand why MS-FDISK can work without "FDISK /MBR" but FreeDOS won't, after that I try several times to remove the partition by FD-FDISK and did the same thing, butn the symptom can't be recreated. Driving me nuts. Rgds, Johnson. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

BC> I would consider it more of a bug in Windows' emulation of DOS... Wlink _works_. Works _fine_. Issue is that it only wrongly calculates _some_ offsets in code. So, this is definitely bug in Wlink. Especially because any other DOS4GW programs (including, for example, WCC and WPP) works as expected.
