DR-DOS está de volta. - Retrópolis

Antes de tudo, um relato pessoal. Eu tenho MSX na minha vida desde 1986 (esse ano completo 40 anos MSXzeiro!), mas meu pai teve um PC/XT, depois um 286, um 386... Então, o meu primeiro PC mesmo foi um Pentium 166. Posteriormente, migrei para um K6-2 500 Mhz, e lá comecei a usar Linux. Cheguei

👾 SvarDOS, opensource DOS distro

｢ SvarDOS aims to collect available DOS software and make it easy to find and install applications using a network-enabled package manager (like apt-get, but for DOS and able to run on a 8086 PC) ｣

Got #SvarDOS installed and online! Tried a different packet driver for the Intel NIC and that worked.

I've just stumbled across #SvarDOS and now I want to give that a try...

@dandylover1 I am both into the development of the #FreeDOS and #SvarDOS distributions. Development is mainly in C and X86 assembly

We have a "talking" version of our SvarDOS distribution for blind persons. It uses the PROVOX screen reader and requires a Braille 'n Speak synthesizer connected to the COM1 port.

I have never used this by myself, and I am not familiar with developing specifically for Braille 'n Speak. So I will ask the people involved about its state and report back. In the meantime, you may give it a try if you are interested.

You may get it at http://svardos.org/

Do you know if it would be possible to put many different #DOS versions (#msdos 4.x-8.x, #FreeDOS 1.4, #SvarDOS ) on a single FAT16 partition, each one in its own subdir (MSDOS5, MSDOS6, FDOS14, etc.) and have a boot loader that’s loading each variant of MSDOS.SYS + IO.SYS (or others) for every DOS version?

Just because FPC community doubts validity of DOSBox (i.e https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,71748.msg561036.html#msg561036 but not only) and rambling about everything except what I report on their GitLab ( https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/41337 )

SvarDOS: Schlanker FreeDOS-Ableger mit neuem Kernel nun unabhängig

Wer heute noch gern mit den alten DOS-Umgebungen arbeitet, bekommt nun eine weitere Option geboten: Die Entwickler von SvarDOS haben jetzt einen komplett eigenen Kernel, womit diese Variante zu einer komplett unabhängigen Alternative zu MS-DOS wird.
