Re: [Freedos-devel] drives.exe

Updated version 1.2! Drives now checks floppy drives to see if they're empty and no longer prints the launch banner to make it integrate into the OS much more smoothly. There's more I want to do with this program, but I'm about to enter a busy str

Re: [Freedos-devel] drives.exe

I think that would almost have to be emulator-related. It seems your copy of DOSemu isn't simulating the disks fully enough for Drives to detect them. I'd be interested to learn the extent to which it *does* simulate them, so I could extend my program to work anyway, though. On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 a

On Linux DOSemu, DRIVES doesn't report any disks at all. I just get "Detected drives: 0" Here's a screenshot: http://www.freedos.org/jhall/temp/dosemu-drives-screenshot.png But from FreeDOS, I have C:, D:, E:, and Z: drives. DOSemu version 1.4.0.8 - 18.20131022git.fc20 on Fedora 21. I'm using

I eventually need to put up an actual page for the program telling what it does. But for now, here 's a direct link which will allow a basic download. On Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 3:26 PM, Jim Hall wrote: > > > On Fri, Dec 26, 2014 at 11:00 AM, Mercury

Re: [Freedos-devel] drives.exe

I thought the same as Ralf and was surprised to see the vertical bar being used, and I also wasn't aware you could have more than 26 drives either. But Drives now checks for letters A - Z, the additional symbols and all numbers too. That oughta pretty well cover it lol -

There's also the DRIVES.COM that ships with my DOS USB drivers (available at http://bretjohnson.us). It's quite a bit more "techie" than the others, in that it actually shows you the information stored in the various internal DOS tables, such as device driver memory addresses and unit numbers (

I don't know how thorough you want to be, but msdos 5+, and some versions of both opendos and ptsdos, you can actually have more than 26 drives, up to 32 if I remember correctly. I saw (once) which characters they used for the additional 6 drives, but I don't remember what they were. Looking i

In keeping with Tom's earlier suggestion, I give you *Drives*, the disk info tool - now in standalone form! :) It's still a bit buggy - I have to sort out an issue with repeating drive labels and a couple other odds and ends - but 90% of the program is usable and functional. Just type "drives" and
