If this usage was allowed by Microsoft without protest, it should invalidate their claim IMHO, but I am not a patent attorney. Also, my experience with the PTO in the 1980's was quite mixed in their failure to recognise 'prior knowledge in the art'. In my case, it involved pyrotechnic formulations. Hi all, Disclaimer: I am not an attorney of any sort; I'm a computer tech that has had some sort of computer for about 27 years. Correct me if I'm wrong but but the 8 flexible disk drive (FDD) was invented at IBM by Alan Shugart in 1967; in 1976, the 5 1/4 FDD was developed by the same Alan Shugart for Wang Laboratories because they wanted a smaller floppy drive to use with their desktop computers. If I'm reading my history correctly I understand that by the mid-70's FDDs used some file system very similar to the FAT system. Also, it is my understanding that CP/M used a type of FAT file system by 1975 or 1976. It seems this was part of the prior art argument for this case. As far as whether M$ thought up the FAT file system in 1976 - well that is plainly a lie. In fact M$ BOUGHT MS-DOS (called QDOS) in 1980 (and never did pay the full amount owed to Seattle Computer Products) then re-released that as PC-DOS 1.0 with the launch of the first IBM PC (see the MS-DOS history below). So this whole case is based on total BS. This is just further proof that with enough money one can buy anyone in the USA government. And Tom, about your questions: AFAIK JFS was fully developed by IBM for use in both AIX (IBM's UNIX) and Warp Server for e-Business (WSeB) and then adapted for use in Warp 4.5 and Linux. It is NOT based on FAT So that is safe from M$ (although that is part of the basis of the SCO-vs-IBM case). HPFS was jointly developed by IBM (about 20%) and M$ (about 80%). NTFS is HPFS with a few minor changes, hence NTFS reporting HPFS partitions as corrupted NTFS. There are many cross-licensing fees between IBM M$ in OS/2 and I don't know the details of the HPFS fees. As far as an open-source HPFS that is a question for a patent attorney and I am not one. It is my opinion that this case is NOT settled yet and that it will go on for a long time. The patent was filed retroactively which is stupid from the start. Plus there is just overwhelming evidence of prior art and that any FAT patent is obvious due to the prior art. If, because of making the proper payments to the proper people it is never overturned then I say to just flick-off M$ and move to JFS on ALL storage even if we have to develop a 12-bit JFS. From DOS History http://members.fortunecity.com/pcmuseum/dos.htm# (watch for _javascript_ pop-up ads): 1973 Gary Kildall writes a simple operating system in his PL/M language. He calls it CP/M (Control Program/Monitor). (Control Program for Microcomputer) 1979 February Apple Computer releases DOS 3.2. July Apple Computer releases DOS 3.2.1 1980 April Tim Patterson begins writing an operating system for use with Seattle Computer Products' 8086-based computer. Seattle Computer Products decides to make their own disk operating system (DOS), due to delays by Digital Research in releasing a CP/M-86 operating system. August QDOS 0.10 (Quick and Dirty Operating System) is shipped by Seattle Computer Products. Even though it had been created in only two man-months, the DOS worked surprisingly well. A week later, the EDLIN line editor was created. EDLIN was supposed to last only six months, before being replaced. September Tim Patterson shows Microsoft his 86-DOS, written for the 8086 chip. October Microsoft's Paul Allen contacts Seattle Computer Products' Tim Patterson, asking for the rights to sell SCP's DOS to an unnamed client (IBM). Microsoft pays less than US$100,000 for the right. December Seattle Computer Products renames QDOS to 86-DOS, releasing it as version 0.3. Microsoft then bought non-exclusive rights to market 86-DOS. 1981 February MS-DOS runs for the first time on IBM's prototype microcomputer. July Microsoft buys all rights to DOS from Seattle Computer Products, and the name MS-DOS is adopted. August IBM announces the IBM 5150 PC Personal Computer, featuring a 4.77-MHz Intel 8088 CPU, 64KB RAM, 40KB ROM, one 5.25-inch floppy drive, and PC-DOS 1.0 (Microsoft's MS-DOS), for US$3000.

Please know we receive more than 100 emails per day regarding the project. We are a small team working on making this project a reality and unfortunately we are unable to answer each e-mail personally. Following please find informative details on the project. Inquiries about buying the laptop regretfully cannot be answered. Please note that the $100 laptops--not yet in production--will not be available for sale. The laptops will only be distributed to schools directly through large government initiatives. All public information will be listed on our website. Thank you. Executive Summary The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) non-profit association have launched a global program to equip hundreds of millions of students and their teachers with ultra-low-cost, individual, connected laptop computers to dramatically enhance the children’s primary and secondary education. These will be fully powered, general-purpose laptops, sized for children and adolescents, running Open Source software, with wireless mesh-network connectivity. The machines will be built and sold at cost to ministries of education, with a floating price targeted at $100 and thereafter floating down. According to the present schedule, integrated prototypes of the Gen-1 laptop will be available Q3, ’06. Manufacturing begins Q4. The first 10 to 15 million Gen-1 pilot-phase machines will ship by or before Q1, ’07, to five or six large, geographically and culturally diverse countries. Each of these nations will identify three or more regions within their country emphasizing, when possible, rural and remote areas where all students in all primary and secondary grades receive a personal and connected machine: One Laptop per Child. An essential feature of the pilot program will be training, logistics and an administrative initiative based in the host country. Here, in partnership with local educational organizations or other groups to be determined, MIT will help create the means to implement a carefully designed, exponential process to impart the necessary technological and pedagogical skills to classroom teachers over a period of approximately six months. OLPC technology incorporates design and engineering advances developed at MIT's Media Lab, plus innovations in manufacturing and distribution to bring costs in line with the host countries’ budget structures. The laptops will be made available only to schoolchildren and their teachers, through government programs and not through retail or commercial channels. In parallel, OLPC is in discussion with a handful of well known large and global companies to release a commercial version circa $200 at the same time. Hardware Its hardware specifications, as of October 2005, are: 500 MHz CPU (Processor) by AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) Inc. 1 GB of flash memory (no hard drive) SVGA 8 diagonal display (dual LCD Color/Black White mode for power conservation and outdoor reading); estimated cost $35 128 MB of DRAM AC Cord that doubles as carrying strap as the power source and a hand-crank (one minute of cranking gives enough power for 10 minutes of operating). The cost of materials and assembly for each laptop is estimated to be approximately $100. Software All of the software on the $100 Laptop will be open-source. The projected software as of November 2005 is: Red Hat Linux variant as operating system A web browser A word processor An email program A programming system Participating countries Brazil, Thailand, Egypt, United States (Massachusetts), Cambodia, Costa Rica and Tunisia have already committed in various ways. The laptops will be sold only to governments, to be distributed through the ministries of education willing to adopt the policy of “one laptop per child”. We will begin with five pilot countries and one U.S. state. Once this occurs, we hope to extend our reach to other nations. Prototype Nicholas Negroponte is scheduled to demo a working prototype of the device on November 16, 2005 at a United Nations technology conference in Tunisia. However, the device shown will be a rough estimation, as work is still being done on the development of the device for both performance and pricing issues. Negroponte estimated that the screen alone required three more months of development. For updates please visit: http://laptop.media.mit.edu

Re: [Freedos-user] Multiple DOS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi: GAG and GRUB are two free bootloaders...GAG much simpler to set up than GRUB. Mark An easy way to do this would be to install the two different DOS versions in two different primary partitions and use a boot loader like gag (gag.sourceforge.net) to select which to boot. GRUB would work as well, but I find configuring GRUB correctly a daunting task... :-) Perhaps easier than that (if PC-DOS doesn't support FAT32) would be to install PC-DOS on a FAT16 partition, and then install FreeDOS on a FAT32 partition; then use a simple bootloader to choose which one to boot. That way FreeDOS will be able to see both partitions and FreeDOS will always be the first primary partition to FreeDOS, and PC-DOS will also act like it is the first DOS primay partition, as it can only see its own drive and other FAT16 drives. --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user http://gag.sourceforge.net/ http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ http://www.rajeevnet.com/linux/grub_serial_console.html -- TomLeeM / BigWarpGuy * * * * * * * * OS2eCS.org Director of Communications * * * * * OS/2 Warp - eComStation Org * * * * * * * * http://www.os2ecs.org * * * * * * * * * Supporting Past OS/2 Uers and Future eCS Users * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
