@jbz if it's not offering #SourceCode then it's not #OpenSource!

Besides, #Microsoft themselves published #MSDOS under #MIT license so using #DRDOS seemed irrelevant to a degree.
- Not mention @freedosproject / #FreeDOS is also an option?

DR-DOS 8.x, l'ultime version de DR-DOS.

DR-DOS 7.0.x, le DOS oublié

Hab mir grad mal für meine MS-DOS-Sammlung ein paar Bootdisketten für Partition Magic 8.0 erstellt und eingelagert. Funktioniert problemlos auf allerlei Konfigurationen!

Wer weiß, wofür man's nochmal braucht:

Partition Magic 8.0 mit 1220MB Festplatte

Partition Magic 8.0 mit 119MB Festplatte

Aha! Found it! I'd been looking for this. Recommended once by YouTube, and then lost.

… on GEM
… on DR-DOS
… on an 8086 PC emulator
… on a Raspberry Pi
… running as a second processor using a BBC Master 128 for I/O.

There's a follow-up re-hash video by @WiFiSheep that explains the tokenization problem with the CIRCLE statement.

Of the many people who have run #Elite on a Pi second processor, none seem to have thought about switching to the PDP-11 emulation and trying to run some early Unix. But seeing DR-DOS on a BBC Master is pretty wild.

#SvarDOS: DR-DOS is reborn as an open source operating system

The more I look at or use #drdos, the more I understand why my dad, back in the day, said we can absolutely not switch from #msdos. It kinda sucks.

New binary release 20240914 of the EDR-DOS kernel is out. This release fixes a few boot and compatibility problems with original IBM-PC and with disks larger than 502 GiB.

I today released a new version of the EDR-DOS kernel and command interpreter.

We made progress in preventing the EDR kernel from accessing uninitialized partitions.

This is an interesting one: DR-DOS shipped with a FDISK program which initialzed partitions with a file system right away, without the user having to FORMAT it. But because of this, the DR-DOS kernel never implemented proper filesystem validation.

The whole thing falls apart when using the EDR kernel with Free FDISK and NOT formatting a partition. Curiously, the kernel could then access the non-existing filesystem. But not anymore...

Anyone know of an #epub reader for #DOS?

A little update on my DRDOS kernel project: I managed to produce a single-file version of the kernel. It normally consists of DRBIO.SYS and DRDOS.SYS.

The name of the combined kernel is KERNEL.SYS and supports the FreeDOS load protocol (have to sort out a few minor bugs though). This means that it can be installed with the same SYS command as the FreeDOS kernel.

I finished porting the Enhanced #DRDOS source code to the #JWasm assembler. It can now be built solely with open source tools and under different operating systems than DOS.

In the near future I will regularly provide ready to go binary builds.

I found this article on BlueSky. On first glance it seems to be a short overview of the motivations and history behind DR DOS. #drDos #DOS #Intel #8086 #ComputerHistory
