Interesting, I downloaded the above, booted just fine. But I also
downloaded a keyboard definition file from the above site, link right
there on <http://www.ontrack.com/freesoftware/>, said to apply this
to the above package. So I got NORWAY.EXE, created a second floppy
and ran the it. It copied the language files all right, then
prompted to owerwrite current config files with new ones. I said
yes. Here is the result:
# CONFIG. SYS
DEVICE=A:\EMM386.EXE
DEVICE=A:\ONTRACKD.SYS
DEVICE=A:\DRFAT32.SYS /X
LASTDRIVE=Z
COUNTRY=047, 865, A:\COUNTRY.SYS
# AUTOEXEC.BAT
@echo off
rem a:\xbios /P- /Z /I /M
a:\drfat32 /m:120 > NUL
KEYB NO, 865
Call er
But the mentioned DRFAT32.SYS and DRFAT32.exe (?or com?),
not included. Neither was emm386.exe or ONTRACKD.SYS .
Thus the new config fails to load the Easyrec program (doesn't set up
a ram drive either as you can see. I take this to mean Ontrack use
Dr-DOS for one or more other products as well, which probably also
include the mentioned DRFAT32 files. Question is which other
product(s)t? I haven't explored, but curios if anyone knows....
Speaking of which, FAT 32 ...and rumors.... back in April, some
