So far, I’ve tried installing locally, from DOS, on the CBM. I’ve also tried installing it in a virtual machine, in VirtualBox, with raw device mapping. I thought about using one of my other machines to do the installation, just this morning.
Given the way that the overlay software works, I’ve found it to generally work better if you use the machine that you plan to use the disk in, to install the overlay. I’m guessing that this is due to the software choosing different geometry, depending on what it sees from the BIOS.
So, it’d be easier to find driver overlay software that actually runs in 1MB. If not, I’ll definitely fall back to using a different machine. Or, I may actually find an XMS board, for a reasonable price, for this machine, eventually.
Thanks!
