I know Minix 2.0 used to be able to fall back to BIOS-mode for hard disc access, and would potentially be able to use the CH375 card. Ran a 286/16 with two MFM hard drives as my first Unix-like machine back in the day. Haven't really experimented with 3.x, but that might be something worth examining.
I tried Minix 1.x for the 8086 and it started to boot on my setup with the CH376S module, but had other compatibility issues.

See post #69 for the CH375DOS.sys driver that i use in my IBM XT 5160, It is v1.9A and the no-interupt version. It works but it's slow at around 18/Kb's
Hi,
I made a confusion, the code I saw is 8088 compatible.
If I patch the file and post it somebody can test ?
the Speed will be definitely MUCH Faster
I'll be happy to test if you post the driver.Hi,

Me too.. I have 2 of the boards in use right now in a 5150 and a 5160.
Thanks but it's not working for me, The driver recognizes when a flash drive is NOT connected because it returns the "Drive not found" error, But when i connect a flash drive / CF or SD card in a USB adapter it just hangs for ever when trying to connect, I see some brief activity from the LED on the flash drive and that's it, It just hangs then.If you can try.
Be garefull, if the Read work and not the Write, it will crash your key.
I also added a text file with the assembly code I changed.
The driver you patched was v2.0A, I can't remember why i never used it but there was a reason, I have always used the v1.9A driver as it worked from the get go.
Ok, thanks.
What is the size of the working driver ?
I may wait for the boards to test myself....
I posted the driver i use in this thread, See post #69, It's about 3KB
Ok, So wait some more week so that I can play with this board.
I may also add an utility to list the partitions, we can patch the Driver in memory to add a offset in the disk read, then mount other partitions.
With speed increase, multi partition support and later, Boot, it will be perfect

I received the Boards.
It is working well on my 8086 (Amstrad 3086) under DOs 6.
With DOS 3.31, there are corrupted files if I copy a Disk image to the USB, and If I use my Compact Flash wia an adapter.
Then, there is a bug somewhere with DOS 3.31
Anyway, I strarted to decompile the Driver Rev 1.9
It is much more optimized, but a patch will still speed it up a lot.
I will probably do it tomorrow

Beg pardon?
He's been patching/tweaking the driver.. see prior posts.
I Optimized/patched a little the driver. It can still be improved, but only by some % now.
How are you setting up your CF card or Flash drive ? and what size are they ?, What speed setting are you using ?
I Get " CH375: Error Boot Sector " every time, I have tried flash drives and CF card, I setup a CF card and flash drive from scratch and still the same error, If i switch back to the old driver all drives work fine. I'll have another go tomorrow as it's late now.

Please look up every word in the passage I quoted--and then laugh at auto-correct.

No offense intended--one simply doesn't run across that word in everyday conversation.
