It has none - else this thread would not've been started in the first place. DI10000DD supports 2K sectors for CD/DVD media, and 512-byte sectors only for magnetic disks. My first idea was to look whether I could 'hack' bigger sector support into DI1000DD - using IDA to get a disassembly. Turns out modding the beast without a proper source is nothing easy, leave alone the fact that it is certainly not legal. I was able to get the int 13 provider right, but that is not the interesting or even necessary part. The DOS stuff, recognising, mounting and accessing partitions is complex, and the worst nightmare is that the internal sector buffer, which would have to be resized, is in the middle of everything rather than right at the end (or start) so to mod it one would need a perfect disassembly and reassembly, not 'just' some patching here and there. Much to learn form but not fit for modding IMO. -- Czerno ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
