Re: [Freedos-user] Dual core Athlon BE-2350 processor

[Alain M. <al...@po...>]

I have installed FreeDOS is many 64 bit processors, never had any problem.

IMHO the important part is "drive not ready", this is probably a dirver 
issue. Remember that all DOSes use disks through the bios, so it is the 
bios responsability to do that...

In fact I noteiced that as a mater of fact most bioses are getting 
better, MSI uses DMA for bios access, with 36Mb/s!!!
