Welcome to FreeDOS
FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project.
We welcome new users to FreeDOS. You can contribute to the FreeDOS Project by downloading our latest release and telling us what you think. We have a bug tracking system that helps you report problems and submit requests, and otherwise tell us how to improve FreeDOS. By participating in the development and debugging process, you help everyone.
Looking for the FreeDOS 1.1 distribution? You can help make this happen!

UIDE etc. (25-Jul-2010)
2010-07-21 18:18 - The FreeDOS Project
Jack Ellis has still been working hard at improving his UIDE etc. drivers. Recent changes include AHCI support for XMGR, UIDE's I-O "calls" made more efficient, and added "memory only" caches (/PM) up to 400 MB. See changelog plus download sources and binaries at http://johnson.tmfc.net/dos/driver.html . Thanks again, Jack! *** EDIT: To load in HMA under FreeDOS, "CONFIG.SYS must have a "BUFFERS=4" line, and UIDE must be loaded thru AUTOEXEC.BAT using DEVLOAD."
