@retrocanada76 - from your website I understand that you are working on a new, improved v2.0, so I will probably wait for that before assembling anything. One humble suggestion I would have: is there any chance that the v2.0 could come in a "MDA only" variant? This would be nice for people (like me) …

I have made a m3u playlist file, but I can not seem to make DOSMID play the files in the order they appear in the playlist. It seems to play in random order?!? Hello Elianda, you are correct - first DOSMid versions (until very recently) played playlists in random order, simply because it was the …

Hi, I was looking for some 8088 hardware to test my programs on, but the price of those machine is crazy these days, so I will have to fall back to emulation. Your CAPE emulator seems like a potentially very good fit - that's an impressive project! Two questions: - Do you have any plans to emulate …

Thanks for your feedback! So you use 4DOS, that's good to know -- I suppose it does something differently than command.com. So far I tested EtherDFS only on FreeDOS and MS-DOS 5.x and 6.x, while you seem to be running the Windows 95 shell. I will try to setup some lab with the Win95 shell and see …

I can successfully list and create files on the network drive, but reading or removing files (old existing or new files) throws an error "File not found". Are you 100% positive that this happens also with new files (that is, files you copied through EtherDFS)? Pre-existing files won't work if they …

Linux server (Debian, which is a VM) Hello again - I discovered today a weird behaviour of VirtualBox when it is bridged with a WLAN adapter - shortly said, it cannot work with EtherDFS in such setup, because it knows how to handle only IP packets. Source: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06. …

it seems my issue is with the packet driver. I think either something is very wrong with your hardware or low-level setup (IRQs or so), or perhaps the virtualization layer behind your Linux server does not forward EtherDFS queries to your Linux guest... or perhaps there's some kind of firewall, …

What are the chances of a windows server? None, I'm afraid. I do not do Windows. It should be possible, however, to run ethersrv-linux as a virtual machine on a Windows host. Anyway, ethersrv is rather meant to be installed on some stand-alone NAS-like machine featuring a Linux OS - Raspberry Pi, …

(tested with MS-DOS 5.0 and 6.20) Again, please don't consider this production-ready as long as the version string doesn't say at least "1.0". Nonetheless, it works, and I …

Hello mOBSCENE, thanks for reporting the issues! In fact, I see as many as 3 problems here: 1. etherdfs doesn't see ethersrv 2. DOS doesn't see drive E: 3. manual MAC is not understood Problem 3 seems to be a parsing regression. I will fix that soon, should be easy. However, it is unlikely to help …
