Re: DDLINK: Easily move files between/To/From DOS systems

Posted on 2023-09-23, 02:10

in DOS
I've been in this industry since the 70's and I've written a *LOT* of stuff over the years. And being anal about "not losing it" I've kept multiple backups of pretty much everything! It's been kinda in my mind lately the publish/release most of it (some i can't because it was contracted by others), …

Re: My DosBox tools

Posted on 2023-07-28, 07:56

Just in case anyone is interested... As part of looking at making RamDisk to use in Tablet editions of DosBox (anyone know if such a thing already exists?)... I've tossed together a little tool to record INTs (and registers at time of INT) performed by DOS commands/programs. This lets me see exactly …

Just posted a minor update Command line help text is still contained within DDLINK.COM, however it no longer occupies .COM memory when DDLINK is running. This allowed said text to be improved a bit, and now includes some extra command help options: ?C - show the COM (serial) cable null-modem …

Would your old MACMON or SNIFF packages be useful here too? I don't think so much (they are certainly available if someone needs them)... I included SDT and PPDEBUG because some might have to make cables, and it's useful to be able to test them. Ethernet is pretty straightforward/standard and for …

In case anyone is interested, I've just added SDT.COM (Serial Debug Terminal) and PPDEBUG.COM (Parallel Port Debug) to the DDLINK package. These are a couple of my DOS tools I often use when making interface cables because they let you easily see and manipulate the individual signals/pins on the …

Re: Good DosBox on tablets?

Posted on 2023-02-06, 03:06

You can also get a small x86 tablet and use regular Windows and regular Dosbox on it. E.g. older "Atom"-based Surface Gos are likely available for 200-300$ now and they have more than enough horsepower for Dosbox (not for 86Box, though). I used to run my own fork of Dosbox on Nokia Maemo phones …

Good DosBox on tablets?

Posted on 2023-02-04, 16:33

Just curious what people have found to be the best DosBox on a tablet? Sometimes when I travel, I like to take a "DOS" system with me to dabble on. Any sort of laptop is a pain going through customs as you have to unpack it, make everything visible, then re-pack it. Nowadays tablets usually don't …

Just FYI - posted another update Added a command line option to allow non-interactive operation (eg: transfers within .BAT) Makes it easy to auto-move file(s) between systems as part of a "greater" operation.

Re: Injecting files into a running PCem/86Box machine

Posted on 2023-01-21, 22:20

This is active in another forum, but I'll mention that I wrote a tool back in the 80's which I do find to be the simplest/best (for me) way to move files on/off and between older DOS systems (real hardware and emulations): DDLINK (available free from my site) is a tiny (16k) .COM which can move …

Did you try mode + ctty? Have you looked at FreeCOM's copy source? https://github.com/FDOS/freecom/blob/master/cmd/copy.c I also posted some notes to the FreeDOS-Devel list which may have some response to what I suspect is a bug. I have looked at MODE and CTTY - with MS and PC DOS, the COM port …

I've spent some time determining which byte values are/are-not blocked in FreeDos: COPY COMn: file and have adjusted my bootloader accordingly... Just in case anyone in interested: I've looked at making the initial "boostrap" code (copied by: COPY COMn: file) purely printable ASCII characters ( …

It's simple enough to download and try it - I do much of my DOS testing these days with "real DOS" booted on DosBox - see my "DBBD" (DosBox Boot Dos) tool! But sure, here are a few DDLINK ScreenShots: [1] [2] < Images in [3] [4] < each .JPG DDLINK1.JPG: (1) Main screen, local" system on the left, " …
