Sadly not. I tried to cantact Brian Sparks, probably the current license owner, about the licensing situation. I got no respone however. Others also tried, but failed to reach him...
To be honest, I have not tested the EDR kernel without a floppy controller yet. Some code might expect at least one floppy device to be present. Will try to...
Do you use SvarDOS stable or the SvarDOS bleeding edge with kernel version 20250404? I can reproduce your problem under VC with kernel 20240914, but not with kernel 20250404 shipped...
As you said you are running SvarDOS I assumed you downloaded it from http://svardos.org/. The kernel you can download here as a package is still called Enhanced DR-DOS (EDR-DOS). I...
> Well, sorry, I'm not familiar with your naming conventions - if I post an issue here, on SvarDOS/edrdos, it's because I downloaded the newest binary from the very same...
I think this comes from the following. https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/blob/72ae65fdd33c937728f5661dbf7b857c0aece315/drbio/disk.asm#L2274-L2333 This routine asks DOSMGR to switch to fullscreen: https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/blob/72ae65fdd33c937728f5661dbf7b857c0aece315/drbio/disk.asm#L2334-L2347 I think these are two separate bugs? One failing to switch to fullscreen...
> Is this callout supported by EDR-DOS? Yes, it calls this routine in its ask_for_disk routine referenced in a previous [comment](https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/issues/149#issuecomment-2833446609). I now adapted https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/commit/958703a24da2b477dd7ffe6c0263cdad7bd84a7d the kernel to not have...
Replaced [958703a2](https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/commit/958703a24da2b477dd7ffe6c0263cdad7bd84a7d) by [ded2d85](https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/commit/ded2d85dd31d13a7619db3fbbe4573fdb497626b) (commit message updated).
That does not look good! Thanks for reporting. Is the RDISK.COM RAM disk rejected under the EDR kernel only or also under MS-DOS?
I performed a test on a freshly formatted FAT32 drive (via FreeDOS format). I can confirm that even on an empty partition MS SCANDISK fails under the EDR kernel. Initial...
