      In a message dated 09-11-14, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:              GM Ed,               EV> HP put a 0 Byte CONFIG.SYS file in the Root but I don't have a        EV> aspidisk.sys file anywhere.              Then you could add to that file: driver=aspidisk.sys or whatever your       drivers name is.              EV> I looked through the C: HDD but there wasn't another config.sys       EV> there. DOSBOX makes a CONFIG.COM file when it is in use but no       EV> config.sys . -snip-              Maybe DOSBOX has access to the config.sys file in the root directory and       makes a ".com" file from that and other parameters.              EV> I never thought of booting from the removable cartridge drive as I       EV> have done with CD's in the CD Drive.              If that should be possible the alternative to boot from an external       drive must be available in the BIOS.              EV> This is the second time I tried writing this Reply Message.       EV> 20 minutes ago I was looking at a Microsoft Works Word Processor       EV> file I made about DOSBOX, and I heard a CLICK, then the screen went       EV> black and the XP box Booted Up all on its own.              That's a very good reason for me to stay away from Windows since I don't       need an operating system doing its own things.              CU AGN, Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger              ___        * MR/2 2.30 * I'm not a complete idiot, several parts are missing! ;-)              --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2        * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands.
