    Mount DOS compressed volume (e.g. DoubleDisk) on Linux

    Do you mean something like Norton Ghost? A fusefs module is free to use any backend, image files, FTP, IMAP folders, whatever. Of course most lean solution would be to write fusefs driver for doubledisk format. But that's actual work not something you can set-up in a day.

    Mount DOS compressed volume (e.g. DoubleDisk) on Linux

    That should not be happening. As we speak I'm running FreeBSD 5.5, Windowmaker on vesa X11 server, Pentium 100+ATI Mach64, nodding along in the background. This is the CPU usage of a single Broadwell-EP 2.2 GHz core. The other thread used for graphics operations is on the floor all the time...

    Nah. Devfs, assign permissions to your user or any user you will run the VM with. Google wireshark as user and your distro to get exactly what you need to do. I missed the vvfat part tho. I can see where you're going at, you aim to have it under full programatical control from Linux. I agree...

    Mount DOS compressed volume (e.g. DoubleDisk) on Linux

    OP is fully aware he can decompress the drive virtually, it is not what he's asking for, he wants a live mount. @MiaM 86box is definitely the best option here, easiness, compatibility and performance wise. No doubt. If doshea wanted to run 3D games on Windows then you can argue paravirtual env...

    Paradise PVC2 questions on Olivetti M19

    Did you order it at Freddy's directly, how much did it cost? (you can drop a PM for cost if its not publicly stated by Freddy)

    Mount DOS compressed volume (e.g. DoubleDisk) on Linux

    Mark I'm not exactly sure I follow the question...the answer would be no? Emulators/VMs and dual boot apples and oranges. Btw. Mac OSX is not BSD Unix. Parts are FreeBSD. And not the parts Mac is known for - UI, the system architecture, the message based kernel. At the time of OSX design BSD...

    Mount DOS compressed volume (e.g. DoubleDisk) on Linux

    You don't need to use QEMU, use a more appropriate emulator like 86box. Network is via libpcap. Just make a DOS SMB server. But if you need some flexibility, permanency and know around Linux development you might try replacing old kmod scaffolding around dmsdos for FUSE implementation. The code...

    Paradise PVC2 questions on Olivetti M19

    Every external riser is too big for internal because of the lip height. Only if you found a single port one, so just a slanter.

    Easiest way to get 16 MHz CPU running on any XT board?

    @MiaM the chip used is Faraday FE2000 thus the board has some discrete components like the timer, interrupt ctrl, DMAC, bus drivers, etc. Fully integrated is larger FE2010. These both chips are capped to 33% duty cycle from 14.3 MHz oscillator, 4.7 MHz system only. However there are pin...

    IMO Prodest riser not a bad thing to have for M19. P.S. btw I've been using Ghislain's internal riser for some time now in my M19 for XTCF and EMS card. Fits great :)

    Easiest way to get 16 MHz CPU running on any XT board?

    Ah ok I see, you presume these fakes are V20HL 10 MHz variant too.

    Easiest way to get 16 MHz CPU running on any XT board?

    But D70108D-10 should not be able to run at 12 MHz let alone 16. D70108H-16 did not exist in 1984 tho, so the label has to be fake. Doh on my side. But still the price is worth it... Maybe it is possible to discern V20HL from regular V20 by looking at power usage on 100% CPU load on same...

    Easiest way to get 16 MHz CPU running on any XT board?

    Hm. Not good. I'm still going to try. Maybe it will behave correctly when bumped up to 14.3 MHz for a few clock cycles at a time.

    Easiest way to get 16 MHz CPU running on any XT board?

    @sqpat thanks for posting that. I wasn't aware. Ordered one off ebay months ago. The pins are shiny and the label does look too new. Do you think this is fake?

    Easiest way to get 16 MHz CPU running on any XT board?

    Yeah. I think there is easy way and complicated way. 16 MHz execution speed means the state machine transitions do not align cross-domain and that's a problem for Tw. But they would, if I used *2 speed. I think I can track S0-2, READY and RQ/GT lines to know when the CPU spends the following...
