The installer for the game performs a couple of tests that fail in DOSBox unless booting real DOS. First, INT 21/52 "List of Lists" is checked for the number of installed block devices, and the installer expects to find at least two, but DOSBox reports zero. Second, INT 25 is called to read the MBR …

Thanks! That's the kind of info I'm looking for! There's also another ROM in there, TMM334P, same amount of pins. I'll look into the programmer and see what I can come up with!

Hi all, I've been scouring the internet since I ended up with a Toshiba T-100. It's a pretty nice little machine, really, but there's not a lot of usable information online about it. Maybe it didn't sell well here in the USA? Anyway, I'm looking for information - programming manuals (especially T- …

BitWrangler - thanks for the link! I think it's something I found already on another site, though - this is from the readme and doesn't sound like what we're looking for, or at least doesn't describe it that way: "About Jdos: Jdos' major advancement is that it permits the use of the mouse in DOS.

I'll second the request for the Jurassic DOS - I've found several things called JDOS, but none of them are what you are describing.

For those of you using Access 3.01 (which uses text mode), you might be interested to hear I'm currently rewriting the application using Borland's Turbo C.
