Hi! CSMWrap is a cool little hack that brings back the good old PC BIOS on those fancy-pants UEFI-only systems. It utilises the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) and VESA VBIOS from SeaBIOS project to emulate a legacy BIOS environment. https://github.com/FlyGoat/csmwrap I read the comments

Thanks to both again. Yeah, I supposed that there is no consistent exitcode list for all commands. I seem to remember a table somewhere with exitcodes for SOME DOS commands (but I lost track). The Pascal sources mentioned are interesting attempts to do so. I assume that no MS-DOS command was prog

2025-05-28 Thread Wolf Bergenheim via Freedos-devel
Hmm, The code tries to ignore any non disk-related errors, and returns 0x00 (ignore). Ignore should become fail if it's not allowed. And when it detects a disk error it seems to set an internal flag to indicate a critical error which is then tested for in the TestCriticalError[1] function. I gues
