#1 Can't get Mobius to work

[Toby Reyelts]

I tried to get the latest version of Mobius - mobius-
20020225.zip to work with the latest version of Bochs -
1.4, and I get this on the screen:

-------------------------

Im on a win95 and trying to use raw32 and get
\\.\a:: No such file or directory

Regarding raw32: it only works on Windows NT/2000/XP.
Direct disk access is a lot messier on Win9x; there, you can
use rawrite or dd instead (both of which are available for
Windows).

I wrote raw32 as a lightweight replacement for rawrite on
Win32. Since I use Windows 2000, I didn't put in any support
for Win9x.

you coulda told me that in your readme woulda saved some
time 2 days any way- is there any thing else i need ta know
about it on a win 95[I will never upgrade to another version of
windows-thats why im looking at mobius]

Point noted, although raw32 was only really for my own use
(as I noted, those who don't use NT can use rawrite or dd).

I'm afraid I don't know how well Mobius co-operates with
Win95 because I don't use it. I don't see any reason why it
shouldn't boot on a machine that has 95 installed already,
although the FAT driver doesn't support FAT32 yet (only
FAT12 and FAT16 -- again, I only use Windows 2000 so I
can't test FAT32). I suggest you try it and report back with
your results.

actually i dont think it coop's at all once on a 3.5 win95 says
that the disk is screwed and trys to reformat it.
than if I try to run it it stops at loading the gui and loops[I was
hoping it was just the newest version but i think its also
incompatability issue's.]

also I was looking at the source is there supose to B
gui.dsp
libiconv.dsp
because my computer demanded m and i cant find m
thnks 4 the help

win2k does have fat32 support, try formatting an 8gb
harddisk with fat.
