- Hi,
-
- I tried out dos emulator version 0.4 today and am happy with things in general
- except that it doesn't run too many programs as yet. But at least dos it running
- and the system looks more professional..:)
-
- Okay, I tried to install dos using sys c: and it told me that I didn't have
- enuff space in drive c:. So I read the README file and it told me that I
- should change the drive geometry struct in file emu.c
- So I gave it the following:
-
- struct disk hdisktab[HDISKS] = {
- {"hdimage", 0, 17, 4, 80},
- #if HDISKS == 2
- {"/dev/hda", 1, 17, 9, 900},
- /* ^ readonly */
- /* ^ sectors */
- /* ^ heads */
- /* ^ cylinders */
- #endif
-
-
- Did I do the right thing? Coz if I did, something is funny here.
- The README tells me to do fdisk but fdisk is a exe file and somewhere
- in the README I read that EXE files do not work as yet. I tried it out
- anyway and true to the README file it didn't work.
-
- Okay, Thanks for any tips or help you can give me
-
- Jae
