Re: [Audyssey] ms-dos works great!
that is good. I don't much care about images, my plan will probably be to set a shares folder and copy everything I need into it excluding the need for disk images. It also helps with other vms with stuff in it.

Re: [Audyssey] ms-dos works great!
Yes, and braillenSpeak/ASAPI is working fine, both in command line and windows 3.1. Only issue now is trying to bring external data/files in to try them out under operating system. And, yes, trust me, windows firewall is quite happy to allow this through, and the signed version of com0com you gave me seems quite happy here on my machine - like said, it's literally just trying to mount .flp files to the virtual floppy drives that seems to be an issue. Maybe I'll just try add another virtual CD-ROM drive, and see how that then cooperates, or something, or let it share my separate physical hard drives, or something - but issue there is they're all running on NTFS, which might not work under dos 6.22 as such.

And, think had similar version of VMWare image, but, not sure if it had that !readme file in it like this one does, and not sure if will also need to sort of roll back to prior version of VMWare player as well, since currently have 9.0 running here, but, no go if serial port emulation doesn't want to cooperate - let me play around a bit more.
