I am trying to use FreeDOS on a weird old electronic message board,
which is driven by a headless 80286 motherboard. My only access is via
a floppy drive, and I do not have the ability to use a normal VGA
video card. So instead I create a boot disk which writes test results
to a log file.

I wish you luck. I was trying to make a boot DVD or CD and run freedos from
that. I think after all I heard and or was told that couldn't happen. I
wanted to do that because like just like you I found that FreeDos was what

Hi Michael,
I have onboard sound. In Windows I am using a driver called
C-Media AC97 Audio device.
Only a few new games and software like MPXPLAY media player for DOS
can use AC97 directly, but as you see, it can be done :-).
In DOS it`s called SiS 7012 Sound Codec. MidiPort 330,
