![]() And of course apt-get will do the most directly from network.īut it sill be nice to have freedos there. Now the rest is on USB key and I can plug it to other machine when needed update something. It will need a lot of tunning and configuration but it will go much easier since I don't need rebuild and reflash entire firmware. But that 2.4 kernel hasn't driver for my current 1gbit ethernet so I need do some swapping to download some needed packages.įinally I have working kernel and base installation on USB flash. ![]() Finally I took old HDD where left my prevous debian and I compiled it here. But problem was in mkinitrd vs mkinitamfs. GCC is not problem, in debian I can have more gcc versions installed and I only adjust the symlink to gcc. > assumes the srcs are in order anyways (not always fun to massage). > The trickiest part is finding the right GCC to use.

Probably VMware or VirtualBox are faster, but I'm not sure. I know I'm probably telling you what you already know, but DOSBox is full cpu emulation (only up to 486DX) and written in C++ (not multi-threaded), so of course it's slower than it has to be. > too slow on such hardware (even my C2D don't run some games and > Yes dosemu would be only way to run dos stuffs there. > GNU/Linux has DOSBox 0.72, and it's targeted at 128 MB machines or 64 But at least you have enough RAM for it, heh.

There is a pre-built binary on SourceForge (w/ FreeDOS With himemx.exe it's recognized properly. I also upgraded RAM with 256MB SODIMM so now have 292MB total. When usb flash removed it displays message about removed device.Ĭurrently I working on linux kernel and small debian install on usb flash for T20 but i don't want to give up FreeDOS. ![]() Most closer was DUSE 4.9 which recognizes OHCI and display message when usb flash is inserted but it says failed to load driver or so. I also tried about 5 dos usb storage drivers but nothing worked with usb flash. Then it would be possible make kbd driver. I'm in contact with Georg so hope he can do some debug version for me and we together may patch it. Yes but currewntly the main problem is that DOSUSB hangs during startup on this machine, it didn't even display recognized OHCI.

Legacy keyboard and mouse controllers are also Of three main interface blocks: the USB PCI interfaceĬontroller, the USB host controller, and the USB interfaceĬontroller. OpenHCI compliant, a standard developed by Compaq, ![]() The CS5530A integrates a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller Probably it's meant in conjunction with some bios code: Note: The datasheet is talking about USB legacy kbd support but not much detailed. Maybe it would be enough for simle controlling. Will emulate 8042 connected on system bus, I don't know.īTW CS5530A also support gameport. Or maybe it would be easier to make some HW mod adding some MCU which So it seem it recognize it OK but DUSE is only for OHCI USB Controller initialized (BASE 0xCC000, IRQ 6) I just tried to run DUSE 4.9 on T20 and it displays It's based on AMD Geode GX1 CPU and CS5530A chipset including USB OHCI.ĭo you know about some USB HID driver?
