Hi,
I tried out dos emulator version 0.4 today and am happy with things in general
except that it doesn't run too many programs as yet. But at least dos it running
and the system looks more professional..:)
Okay, I tried to install dos using sys c: and it told me that I didn't have
enuff space in drive c:. So I read the README file and it told me that I
should change the drive geometry struct in file emu.c
So I gave it the following:
struct disk hdisktab[HDISKS] = {
{"hdimage", 0, 17, 4, 80},
#if HDISKS == 2
{"/dev/hda", 1, 17, 9, 900},
/* ^ readonly */
/* ^ sectors */
/* ^ heads */
/* ^ cylinders */
#endif
Did I do the right thing? Coz if I did, something is funny here.
The README tells me to do fdisk but fdisk is a exe file and somewhere
in the README I read that EXE files do not work as yet. I tried it out
anyway and true to the README file it didn't work.
Okay, Thanks for any tips or help you can give me
Jae
