That 2nd link Jorpho posted goes into a bit more detail on how it isn't a pure dos setup (the fact you haven't loaded a driver, it pulls info from system.dat) It may work but I don't trust it. I'm not a fan of restart in dos mode. I prefer a shortcut to command.com and having full control over …

I second that. It's also possible to use Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and the TCP/IP-32 addon for such a purpose, by the way. WFWG 3.11 can also be used without the GUI, so that only its network portion is functional. I think this can be done by starting WIN.COM with a special parameter.. Here's …

Yes, I'm using "restart in MS-DOS mode." And when I use the "net use" command, it asks me to start the "WORKSTATION service," which I then agree to. Then, it follows that with: NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter NDIS 2 Mac Driver Version 2.73 And then, that's it. It hangs at that point and …

Well I do have one, but I have not set it up because when I exit to dos and enter the "net use x: \\remotemachine\sharename" command, it first asks me if it's ok to start the "WORKSTATION service," which I agree to even though I don't know what that is. But then, the next line is: NETGEAR FA310TX …

I'm trying to mount a remote share from within pure DOS. I'm using windows 98, which already includes the ms network client, and which works fine from within windows via the "net use" command. The command seems to work in DOS, except that when it's complete, it just hangs, and I can't even ctrl-C my …

worked. mt32d starts up successfully--says it's running on midi port 128:0. However, "amidi -l" does not list it. Is this normal? I am not an expert at MIDI under Linux, but I would guess that is normal for software defined MIDI ports. The "aconnect -i -o" command should list the Munt MIDI port …

I realized I posted this question over a year ago, but it just occurred to me. If there are two leads coming from the same momentary power switch, you could use the same power switch for both power and reset, if your motherboard supports 4-second delay for power off.

Well I just got finished rewiring the psu (photo attached) and everything works now. I believe older PCI-based video cards required 5V and will work with older boards without additional power requirements. Whereas some, but not all, newer ones, specifically PCI 2.0-compliant cards, require 3.3V. And …

I suppose you could do that, there are some AT power supplies (usually from OEM systems) with the additional 3.3V power connector, and it is in fact 3 +3.3V and 3 GND. On the other hand, I never had a problem with PCI video cards when leaving that connector unplugged, are you sure that is the …

SD won't work as it needs IDE hdd routines which is in the main section of the BIOS which is now corrupted. A floppy drive is needed. Just reset the CMOS by jumper and try again. This won't work if the boot block is also corrupted though, e.g. you used the /wb command to force awdflash to program …

The Atmel AT49F002 flash ROM has boot block, which usually the Award flash utility won't touch unless forced to. You could try hooking up a floppy drive and see if its LED lights up when power on, if so you could set up a floppy disk to auto reprogram the flash. For example, you could put these in …
