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:

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

Paint.App
… 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.

I've just done it only with mTCP and the Packet Driver. :0)

No Microsoft Network Client or Novell installed.

I run it this way:

Mein erstes Betriebssystem auf einem IBM-kompatiblen PC war übrigens DR DOS 3.41 - und ich bin dann auch bis DR DOS 6 dabei geblieben. MS DOS konnte mich nie wirklich überzeugen.

Nach DR DOS 6 stand für mich aber OS/2 im Fokus, und ich habe die weitere und verworrene Entwicklung von DR-DOS/OpenDOS 7.x unter Novell, Caldera, Lineo und DeviceLogics bzw. Udo Kuhnt (Enhanced DR-DOS) nicht mehr verfolgt.

Interessant war es für mich noch, DR DOS innerhalb von OS/2 zu verwenden, als virtuelle Maschine ("DOS von Diskette starten").

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...

You can get it at https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/releases/tag/r20240821

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

#DRDOS - Braucht das jemand von Euch? 5.0 ist nicht mehr ganz aktuell. Aber vielleicht kann man unkompliziert auf 7.0 updaten.

Y'all ready for the month of #DOSember?

I just got my #gotek drive for my #Amstrad PPC, so I"'ll be working on that tomorrow.

What #DOS #pcdos #msdos #drdos #dosbox or other Dos things are you going to do?
