No, not AFAIK. DOS never did, for trad SCSI. If it didn't have BIOS support, DOS couldn't see it. It was the adaptor's problem, not DOS's. DOS did support things like SCSI optical drives, via drivers, but then all optical drives need drivers for DOS, however they are attached. The same applies to SATA, SAS, etc. BIOS support on INT 11 or GTFO. > That seems to be one > of the few things that prevent DOS in general to work under the > newest computers I don't think it is at all, no. > apart from a generic BIOS/video implementation > layer, The BIOS is a hardware thing, not a DOS issue. So no. Generic video implementation? Again not a DOS problem. DOS itself has next to no graphics support. _Apps_ do that: it's their problem. Few DOS apps support anything more than generic SVGA anyway. > and compile FreeDOS with DJGPP for being able to work with > the full capability of the PC DOS can't access the full capability of any PC in the last 30 years.

BIOSes are a problem but not in the way you seem to think. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: [email protected] Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
