If you’re ok with a Linux cross compiler, you can add “cobol” here (

The quality of the VGA to HDMI adapter isn't great but it works. In

With a 386, you likely have 1MB-16MB. But you need to have it configured
in the right way for the game, either as Expanded Memory (aka EMS) or
Extended Memory (aka XMS). MobyGames does not specify how to configure the

Apologies for the zombie thread revival.
I recently bought 3 of these Wyse SX0 thin clients and I can confirm that
FreeDOS 1.3-RC5 (and worse!) and FDISK are buggy on it. I think the
reality is that BIOS and USB boot code is only partially complete and just
enough to boot into a more modern OS
And beyond industrial systems, it is sometimes common to see DOS (and
FreeDOS especially) used as part of firmware flashing processes for BIOS,
IDE, SCSI, SATA, SAS, HBA, Ethernet and WiFi controllers especially in

IMO, ISA is a better option for truly vintage machines. I think if someone
combined the ideas PiModem/Wifi232, Pi Virtual Floppy [0], and ISA8019 [2]
(which is an NE2000!), then that would be the ideal. An ISA card powered
by a Pi Zero W that could emulate a Floppy/HDD/CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and provide
DOS did networking a lot better with ISA and some PCI NICS. WiFi came
after DOS was no longer being developed. There might be some 900MHz
WaveLAN things that work for DOS if the point is to make a machine
connected wirelessly.
If the machine has serial you might consider a Wifi232[0] or one of
I think those are binary instructions. Not actual addresses. You could
try disassembling here [0] but a quick cut & paste gave an instruction
sequence that is non-obvious to me. If Contra is a debugger/mod, then that
makes a little more sense. The full message might also help clear things
up.
Not sure what the "Client" is. I just used FreeDOS to run sas2flash on my
Dell R7610 servers. However, I instead used the FD12FULL.zip usb image,
`dd` the image to an old 1GB flash drive, and then wiped out all the FD
packages to make room for the firmware softwares.
Maybe your USB drive is
That's one thing that has troubled me about Links2. I've been able to
compile it for Mac and Linux but not DOS.

The various Wifi232 variants seem to run about $45-$100USD. I think
the PiModems w/a $10-$15USD PiZeroW could be made cheaper but no one
seems to be producing prebuilt versions.

If you're a little handy with soldering you could make yourself a
Wifi232 or PiModem. Alternatively, you can buy Wifi232 or WiModem232
or Gurumodem. Works like a dialup modem on

Agreed. I haven't seen [0] Monotech go out of its way to communicate
that it mostly integrated other people's designs into a MicroATX
solution [1][2]. But they still seem to release their schematics and
changes.

Personally, while I think real hardware is great, I've resolved to
mostly using emulation. I mean, if I had access to USB, WiFi, Flash,
SSD, NVMe, SATA 30 years ago, I would have used it. So, why shouldn't

Some of the Lo-tech boards and other replicas end up on eBay and are
sometimes less expensive (at least in the US).
Another small time maker, Monotech [0], has also produced boards. I
sort of consider them semi-expensive. Especially considering that
they don't seem to be original designs. They

You can use JEMMEX to provide EMS. Command docs are here
(https://web.archive.org/web/20200205000957/http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/base/jemmex.htm).
You need a line like
```
DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMM386.EXE RAM
```
in your fdconfig.sys.

The author freely admits running DOS & Linux side-by-side this way is
a fragile coordination [0]. I doubt that redirection would work as
one might desire. The recently updated ascii demo [1] shows calling
various DOS and Linux commands, and, shows creating a text file with
`dsl vi hello.txt` and
o announce there, since it's not really about FreeDOS.

In case you missed it, DOS Subsystem for Linux [0][1] was announced on
HackerNews. Think of it something like WINE, or, something like
DPMILD32/HXRT/HXGUI Japeth's HX DOS Extender, but for Linux on top of
DOS. A couple interesting things to note: 1) It needs to run w/o XMS

I think you're wrong dpirate. I haven't had time to test, but, I would
expect [0] to be able to use MASM & LINK from MS-DOS 2.0 [1] to build
this. I plan to throw some cycles at this.
