This issue happens because Multi-Floppy BIOS takes a bit more time than system BIOS to prepare and execute read/write commands. Ideally the next command should be ready before floppy disk...
I am aware of these performance issues. They happen only in the case where the software inefficiently uses multiple sector read BIOS calls to read consequtive sectors, instead of using...
It should be compatible with IBM 5160, although one difficulty would be using large enough EPROM - 16 KiB, instead of 8 KiB one used in IBM 5160. What memory...
Currently, it is possible to disable memory test on systems with BIOS configuration storage (RTC/Flash ROM), e.g. Micro 8088, Xi 8088, and NuXT. In this case the BIOS only tests...
You'll need to have an NDIS driver that can support an NE2000-compatible Ethernet controller in an 8-bit slot. I'd think that the common variety of the driver will assume 16-bit...
I've noticed similar behavior. As you noted, most software will retry reading the disk, and the second call would be successful. I suspect it might be related to the "disk...
I am still here, just slow. I'll try to reproduce the issue
I tried booting [this image](https://github.com/jbruchon/elks/releases/download/v0.6.0/fd1440-minix.img). I see one asterisk right after "Linux found, e.g., "ELKS.... Linux found *...." . No more asterisks are printed in multiple attempts that I've done...
I haven't tried other images. I'll try them too. In the bug above, you mentioned floppy emulator. Do you see more of these errors when using a floppy emulator? Have...
I ported my Multi-floppy BIOS code back to 8088 BIOS. Please give it a try
