A Few Questions #4

Open dannycoin opened 1 year ago

dannycoin commented 1 year ago

Q1: In bios.asm, how can I save a value (number, string, etc.) such as the content of biosstr (string) in a memory area of the emulator, and then read and print that memory area from 8086tiny.c?

Q2: Same question as Q1 but in reverse, storing a variable in 8086tiny.c, and then reading and printing that value from bios.asm.

Q3: In FreeDOS kernel, how can I save a value (number, string, etc.) in a memory area of the emulator, and then read and print that memory area from 8086tiny.c or from bios.asm?

Q4: Same question as Q3 but in reverse, storing a variable in 8086tiny.c or bios.asm, and then reading and printing that value from FreeDOS kernel.

Q5: I have same question: https://8086tiny.freeforums.net/thread/82/starting-exe-files-command-line

Q6: I have same question: https://8086tiny.freeforums.net/thread/62/local-drive-access

regards, Danny.

q1: Put value into memory using bios.asm, detect if memory value changed in emulator, print it q2: same but reverse q3: same q4: same q5: this is emulator of 8086 not emulator of dos. Search for other DOS emulators like dosbox q6: not possible, modern hard drive bigger than 527, if you have old pc, feel free just open /dev/hda.
