Yep, that is correct. Due to it, I had to recompile my own OpenWatcom build
using a different extender for runtime to continue using it (which is fine).
I also continue investigating the root cause of that limitation. Just spoke
to rEFInd developer to assess his opinion. Seems that he shares one
Hello Ralf Quint,
I am not sure if you guys all missed a previous post where I said I
found a reference that there are issues with some SMM BIOS
implementations, providing legacy USB support (for keyboard and mice)
and software that is trying to switch in "long mode" (which also might

Hi!
I like TK Chia's idea that DOS/16M tried to access the
keyboard controller to change A20: It would probably
stop doing that when HIMEM and/or EMM386 are loaded,
but having a DPMI loaded can be even more convincing.
Same for DOS4GW: If A20 control is already provided by
something else, or
This is a very interesting point regarding the keyboard.
I have a standard USB keyboard (actually from Microsoft) that is connected
to this iMac and standard HIC USB mouse that works with I think everything
(including a few FPGA computers I run retro stuff on.
With such a setup, the keyboard
Hello Hollowone PL, hello Eric Auer,

The 8042 is the keyboard controller. You are using the rEFInd boot
manager on iMac, without Bootcamp. I assume that means you had to
load some CSM, either provided by Apple or by rEFInd,

Thanks for your replies, to address your comments in one message:
*[1] How did I install FreeDOS on iMac*
That was relatively easy once I installed this boot manager:

With it I can install Linux, Windows and FreeDOS from a bootable CD or USB
quite easily and
After quick reboot my steps to repro the problem are as following:
-> FreeDOS boots up, I enter NDN, browse to OpenWatcom 1.9 BINW folder and
type 'wmake'
[Result]
App shows all the info it should for no targets specified, I assume on exit
it just crashes and hangs the whole system with a
Hello Hollowone PL,
With this I have few starter question as a user:
- DOS16/m is a 16bit protected mode extender. Does it mean that FreeDOS
runs in 16bit protected mode from the command line or perhaps some driver
is interfering or rather the iMac I use has hardware that may cause some
