[GEM Development] Liam Proven! DOS in VirtualPC

[Thomas Clayton]

To ALL:
Just going thru my (very old) bookmarks at work and found one that lead to these FreeDOS (old) images.

Freedos
 There are several FreeDOS images available. FreeDOS 1.0 Size (compressed/uncompressed): 84.3 MBytes / 375 MBytes...  |   |

Maybe we can create a more recent one (FreeDOS) /and/ a DR-DOS (for personal Non-comerical use ETC.) one? 
Two?, might be quite a challenge - but we can dream.
GEM images, too, - but what would be the OS ... ?

Liam,

Have read your and Steve's interchange(s). This precedes that.
Now there's another 2, 3 msgs. I've fallen behind.

Noticed a little detail about PCDOS and SYS. There's a 7.0.1 and a 7.1.0 
involved.

I seem to recall (learnt the hard way) that SYS.com is /very/ particular 
about what version it /is/ and the vn.s of the +RHS files it is to copy. 
DR SYS (or something other than MS, IBM SYS) saved the day when I had to 
"transfer" the actual (some specific vn.) system files from a HDD to 
another HDD - indirectly. (Could have been 5 to 5; that long ago.)

HTH.

Whoa. Now there's another 4, 5 msgs. I've fallen behind even more. ;-)
