Hi everyone!

Just a quick wish for a wonderful Christmas and
hope for a great New year.

Cheers,
Joe.

OK, thanks Hans.

I've updated the URL in the Links area.

Joe.

A bit of an update here (FYI) ...

I've been using an external USB hard-drive to back-up
my drive partitions, using Norton Ghost 8.3 and these
USB drivers below ...

What I've found is :

1) di1000dd only works with MBR-formatted drives.
2) nj32disk only works with non-MBR formatted drives.
3) aspidisk works with either / both.

So, (1) is the reason why di1000dd didn't work for me
originally (my USB drives at the time were formatted
as "removable" media).

I've also found that both di1000dd and aspidisk won't
work for partitions of 64G or higher (I doubt nj32disk
will either, since larger drives aren't usually (ever?)
formatted sans MBR).

Finally, I've also determined that of the above three
drivers, only di1000dd provides Interrupt $13 services
so only this will allow fdisk to see your USB drive.
(However, if you don't have a valid partition to begin
with, di1000dd won't load, so it's a bit of a Catch 22
situation).

Joe.

FYI,

I'm re-vamping my hard drives and re-organising
their partitions at the moment. And I can confirm
that the hacked IO.SYS mentioned below does fix
some buggy LBA addressing in M$-DOS 7.10.

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for passing that on.

I see from your web site that tabs.apm is some new thingy
from Ron, which I am not familiar with - yet.

I've also updated your home page link here, but with the
closure of Geocities, I notice that Hans-Georg's home page
link also needs updating (however, I don't know what his
new site is at the present).

Joe.

Hello Hans-Georg,

It's good to hear from you.

Yes, enabling Alt+T would be possible ... that is if development were
still under-way. But, since core.exe itself is now at a stand-still...
you would need to ask Ray or Joe to add that feature if they ever
start back into it. The same goes for the <div> tag.

I'll CC this to the Yahoo list so that all the developers still
subscribed will see your suggestions.

Hi Glenn, Willard, et al.

(Yep, back again! ;-)

Hmmm ... Perhaps this has been mentioned at some point,
but to be honest, this is something I didn't recall.

As an avid 4DOS fan, did Ray resolve such compatibility
with Arachne? In any case, anyone have further details
on what compatibility issues exist between the two?

Joe.

Hi Roberto,

Both vodafone & mbox require SSL

tiscali requires JavaScript

So, no... there's no trick to get any of them to work in Arachne.
