Doom DMX implementation is a complete mess. What you can do is: - Try IRQ 5 instead of IRQ 7 (I have one system which will not work on on 7) - Edit the doom configuration file; set the the address; irq and dma all to "0", then use a correct BLASTER setting for the correct one. (The code will …

The new VSBHDA also works together now with my PC Speaker. (Previous versions muted the PC Speaker). Great for Ultima 6 😀

Quick check; would the February version fix anything on my a0751h netbook? (Or is it not worth retesting) I couldn't get netdrive to work with either the PXE Packet driver or the ODI Packet driver on this netbook (other mTCP programs run just fine)

Perhaps a stupid suggestion, but what if you install Windows 98; and assign an IRQ < 15 to the sound card in device management. After that return to dos: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.msdos.batch/c/ZEXNzVUcHYw Would that work?

Failed to assign a valid IRQ for sound card, abort. With sbemu /SCL it's listed like: Intel HDA: Intel SKL …

If anyone has issues with Doom, use the following work-around: - Ensure your BLASTER environment is set - Edit the default.cfg and change the SB_IRQ to 0 - Start Doom You'll have to repeat it everytime you start; since Doom on Exit will update the CFG file ;-) (Might work for other games as well …

Thanks for your advice! I changed the buffers to 16; but the result stays the same. Thus chkdsk fails; with same error message. netdrive status before: 0 retries netdrive status after: 8 retries To ensure packet driver is working correctly I tested htget as well with a 200Mb test file; that worked …

Can you provide a reference link to that thread? I will check if can update my net.cfg accordingly and retry it on my netbook. The quest for a working packet driver has failed. Current config: buffers 6 1600 envelope type ethernet_ii

[*]Xcopy: Given that you are using an ODI packet driver shim, maybe there is something going wrong there? I'll try my FreeDOS virtual machine with JEMMEX to see if that works. Xcopy works fine with just a packet driver; that's how I populated these disk images. The ODIPKT driver seems to work fine …

Oh, one more quick test for the CHKDSK problem. If you run NETDRIVE STATUS d: before CHKDSK it will give you packet statistics, including retries. Please run that first, then CHKDSK, and then get the statistics again. If the retry count went up then it's definitely CHKDSK getting a timeout, but not …

Besides working around the USB to serial problem, are there other advantages to UDP? Would it enable better sound because you can send more bytes?
