This amazing little program on RPi:Linux emulates an XT running DOS. /home/pi/.8086tiny/ contains ...
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 7665 Jul 6 15:26 bios
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1474560 Feb 20 2014 fd.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 20971520 Jul 24 15:09 hd.img
So that seems to be: DOS:BIOS , fd0 & C:
It's staggering to see the old DOS-fonts, and it tests well on some old DOS-jewels, but I'm failing to install and run FPC.
It would help if I could read/examine the while trying to install FPC under DOS. I suspect this could be done via a like the author's: /usr/bin/8086tiny-mount #!/bin/bash MOUNT_POINT="/mnt/8086tiny" LOOP_DEV="/dev/loop0" SHARE_PATH="/usr/share/8086tiny" HOME_PATH="$HOME/.8086tiny" if ! [ -d $HOME_PATH ] ; then mkdir $HOME_PATH fi if ! [ -f $HOME_PATH/hd.img ] ; then tar -xvf $SHARE_PATH/hd.img.tar.gz -C $HOME_PATH fi cd $HOME_PATH pwd sudo losetup $LOOP_DEV ./hd.img -o $((63 * 512)) sudo file -s $LOOP_DEV sudo mkdir $MOUNT_POINT sudo chown -R pi:pi $MOUNT_POINT sudo mount $LOOP_DEV $MOUNT_POINT echo $MOUNT_POINT ------------and ---------- /usr/bin/8086tiny-unmount #!/bin/bash MOUNT_POINT="/mnt/8086tiny" LOOP_DEV="/dev/loop0" sudo umount $MOUNT_POINT sudo rmdir $MOUNT_POINT sudo losetup -d $LOOP_DEV
-------------------------
A pointer to a good write-up on loop-devices would help. preferably not at a virtual level; at the level of bytes and asm-code. I don't want to hear that "you can see a bird flying on the screen", when I know the screen is just phosphor dots.
