In any case update the posting rules at Follow These Guidelines When Submitting Help Requests and have people submit full bug reports. This especially INCLUDES that they state that they searched for information themselves and tried to find help in the readme.

Re: Looking for 'verysimple' 286 cpu core by Boris Letocha

Suppose that "verysimple" core is pretty much what the simple core in the later sources is, that is a stripped-down normal core where more direct access to memory is used to fetch code (not using the more complex paging-supporting ones).

Think the release build doesn't run G3, only G4 or whatever that is. There should be a thread around on the forum about that issue, if i remember correctly a build for G3 has been created by somebody.

Um yes thanks i read your posting, we are aware of Vista's habit of deprecating some ioctl functionality, way before your posting. But the SDL interface (ie. noioctl) does NOT allow any sector-based interaction with the cdrom, so its only use is for cd audio.

I don't know if this is correct. Either way there are multiple ways to change the boot device (cdrom boot, floppy disk etc.)

It's "noioctl", without the r. It uses the SDL interface for cdrom stuff then, but it doesn't work for a lot of games, so only use it when necessary.

And the boot-partition always becomes C:, or? No, as far as i remember you can switch between booting from c and from d that way, just booting from a second drive didn't work. If i'm wrong you could at least have a boot manager to start off a different drive/partition.

you not find a C:\COMMAND.COM ? Second partition marked active i'd say. but who is going to tell the programmer that is probably retired by now. Yeh, but it sounds like hacking the executable is working for you, so you changed it as it should always have been. Don't think there'll be hacks added to …

Well that's what the path var is for under dos, you don't specify the full path to the executable but use "command.com /c whatever" and dos resolves it to wherever the command interpreter resides. Their problem if they think that they are smart by using fixed locations.

z: is the boot drive, either that app has the c:\ hardcoded for whatever reason, or they grab the boot drive letter from some odd place (or a place that dosbox has hardcoded to c: .....)
