Apologies if this is a silly question but how do you get the log file out of Witchery when run with LOADLIN.EXE?

I'd also like to know this ^, I am running witchery from freedos usb stick. And thank you fagear for looking into my ramdac error. I did try to run with the -e3 option, got the same results except it dropped one line in the possible connections to check, the pin 63 = pin 43 line between fbi and ramdac isn't there using this option.

And an update on my sli board(when connected to this mainboard). Witchery did accurately describe the correct fb ram chip to check/replace and now my sli board passes all witchery tests.

You type "ds" to get NC/VC/MC-like lightweight file manager to copy logs to automounted drives.

May I ask here?
What log filename is better in you opinion:
1) 260717_22-26-28_witchery.log
2) witchery_260717_22-26-28.log

Definitely name preceding the date, otherwise things get lost between other files. Year should be 4 digits, it sorts "better" and avoids any confusions with what order different bits are.
I don't think seconds are necessary with time, the tests take forever and you won't get things happen within the same minute...
