Copy autoexec.bat, config.sys, himem.sys and loadcepc.exe from floppy disk onto DOM.ģ. You should run “format c: /s” to transfer MS-DOS boot files. To load Windows CE image, there are two methods:ġ. Now, you have a DOM with FAT file system. Or, run “format C:” for using x86 BIOS loader. If you want to use DOS loadcepc.exe to load Windows CE, run “format C: /s” to make DOM DOS bootable. Run “fdisk.exe” to create a primary partition.Ĥ. Using the floppy disk to boot into MS-DOS. Before that, you have to partition and format DOM. Choose Cancel to close the Web Image NT window.Īfter those steps, you will have a boot floppy disk to make DOM booting with Windows. This copies the CEPCBoot.144 disk image to the boot floppy disk.ĥ. In the Web Image NT window, choose A Drive.
This causes WebSetup.exe to format the boot floppy disk with MS-DOS 6.22 before copying the CEPCBoot.144Ĥ. If your floppy disk is not already blank and formatted, in the Web Image NT window, check the Format before making disk box. From the “%ProgramFiles%\Windows CE Platform Builder\5.00\CEPB\Utilities” directory, run CEPCBoot.144. On your development workstation, insert a blank 3.5-inch floppy disk in the floppy disk drive. That page doesn't have firmwares for newer Macs so I can't check them.2. I don't know if that means they have an alternate method for doing legacy BIOS boot. Some of the newer firmwares do not have that EFI app. I don't know if that means it works in all of them. In the list of firmwares at, most of them have the legacy BootCamp EFI app (2B0585EB-D8B8-49A9-8B8C-E21B01AEF2B7 AppleLegacyLoad). I think to use FreeDOS requires an Intel Mac that can do legacy BIOS boot. I have used FreeDOS on my Mac Pro 2008 (MacPro3,1) but I haven't tried any games or graphical stuff. If MS-DOS or FreeDOS can be booted (with external USB support) on an Intel Mac, natively, it'd be great to work, distraction free like this one, too: As a bonus is there a way for FreeDOS, MS-DOS to run a GUI internet browser (just the browser is good) for a minimalist OS that can still browse the Internet 2.0 (or are we already on Internet 3.0 with all these deep learning and machine learning going around)? It's to know the capabilities of the Intel Macs (having tested FreeDOS on VirtualBox, macOS version and emulations like DOSBox) and to play some DOS apps (including DOS games) in its native, not emulated, non-virtualized form. Is there any way to make FreeDOS, MS-DOS 6.22, 7.1 or MS-DOS 8 (if a real DOS mode, standalone of version 8 exists) boot on the Mac, specifically an iMac, be it off an internal Mac drive, external one, CD/DVD or via network (external drive like a USB-A flashdrive is way preferred) that'll have support for external USB drives (like a flashdrive or a hardisk in a USB-A enclosure)?
