Hi all,
yesterday I've installed FreeDOS in the attempt to resurect my first computer (from 1996).
Now, the system is working but I've some problems:
FIXED -> 1) Sound card problem: I've this sound card "expertcolor med3931", and I've downloaded and burned the disc "ExpertColor driver CD from late 1997" (found here: VOGONS Driver Library -first post of the page). When I try to run the setup.exe I get this error: [code]bad command or file name "-win"[/code] Any help please?
FIXED -> 2) Mouse problem: I've a COM Logitech mouse. CuteMouse detect it, but it doesn't works in Edit nor in videogames (I tried Vertigo). What's the problem here?
FIXED -> 3) Ethernet card: this is the worst issue, becasue no eth==no internet, so I can't access the freedos repo. My Eth card is "Dlink DFE-530TX". I've tried to download the driver from the Dlink site (it is still downloadable), but guess what: [code]"this program cannot be run in dos mode"[/code] Is there any other driver I can try to get the this to work?
Thank you very much 😀
EDIT: Mouse is now working, I've installed the logitech mouse.exe driver
EDIT2: Eth fixed installing DLKFET.COM driver
EDIT3: Sound card fixed using the workaround at post 2 😀
