Hi Eric,
I have just seen the new release of FDAPM in the FreeDOS site and started to test it: it is *great*, it reduces my notebook's cpu temperature by about 20 degrees! I am thinking about using it in a production environment and I have some questions:
------------------
1) You say something about restoring the dos time. Does that mean that the main timer may go down on some machines? Im I right in understanding that this cannot happen in STANDBY? Am I safe if I use only APMDOS? (I gess that I didn't understans 100% od what fdapm does)
------------------
2) Aparently STATS apply to all the time interval from going TSR. How can I reset them to fine tune my main program?
------------------
3) I intend to use it with a program in OpenWatcom-3 in PM. The problem is that it is not allowing any saving :(
The main program loop is: check keyboard via bios, check mouse movement (cursor is in sw not the driver), check timers (3 events/s) and when the the event queue is empty that is it. What do I have to look for in order to get more power saving?
Anything that can happen will come through an IRQ, either Keyboard, mouse or timer. In fact everything is only polled to generate events, no int is captured,
Is USB mouse in DOS handled via bios OK? (I will test with a true PS2 later)
Thanks for the nice program, Alain
