Software Discussion / Win95b Boot CD bootup problem
Last post by admin - January 07, 2005, 09:27:34 PMSal,
95b and 95c are pretty much the same, except that 95c comes with the USB patches on the Windows CD. They might have bundled IE4, as well.
Which step were you on when scandisk started giving you errors?

Software Discussion / Win95b Boot CD bootup problem
Last post by Sal - January 01, 2005, 05:28:05 AMHello, I tried the Win95b Boot CD Doc. Maybe I missed something but scnandisk is giving me an error, and tells me to reboot.
Iam usin win95c , could they be some issues on the file version ( drvspace.sys and so on )
Do you have a solution?
Many thanks
Sal

xmsdsk will provide a ram disk. So you can copy certain files and programms to the ram disk. Mpxplay will start and act much faster. You copy them from the autoexec.bat to the ram drive (e.g. r: ) and start the programm from r:. That´s all.
For example:
------------------------------------
LH C:DriversXMSDSK.EXE 4096 R: /Y
if exist copy mpxplay.* r:
------------------------------------
This will install a RAM disk as drive r: and 4.096 KByte large and copies mpxplay.exe and mpxplay.ini to r:.
I use Windows 98 for two main reasons:
1.) Full support of long file names
2.) Easy administration over my WLAN
In my software you can select if you like to start the player or Windows from the autoexec.bat without connecting a monitor to your MP3 player. You don´t need Windows to start mpxplay and I won´t do that anyway. Before I switched to MPXPLAY I used a MP3 player based on Windows2000 (Winamap and Albumlist) with a LCD and IRDA. It was a pain in the a....
Share.exe:
Share was needed in DOS 6.22 when you use TCP/IP and want to use your PC as a Server in your network. But it needs too much DOS memory. So when you´ve loaded the full TCP/IP stack + share.exe you won´t be able to start anything else ;-). If you´re looking for a network version based on DOS I can provide you with all information. I would recommend to use netbui protocoll instead of TCP/IP. netbui needs less memory and will do the same as TCP/IP. This solution works pretty good on one of my MP3 players. But don´t forget to install netbui protokoll on all PCs you like to connect.
Share.exe won´t work with DOS 7.10!!!
"It's a frontend for Mpxplay: why?
What does it do or add to mpxplay?
I can't run mpxplay by itself?"
--> I use MPXT for two reasons:
1.) I love the configuration of the LCD output - it´s just perfect and much easier to handle then the LCD support of mpxplay (thanks to Scott and Brent)
2.) MPXT allows you to play all your MP3 files through the database created by MPXT or single playlists or single drives or files from your cd-rom
MPXT will start before and instead of mxplay. When you choose what to play (database, playlist...)fro m the menu it will start mpxplay.
MPXT adds easier navigation through your files or directories. If you just have a few MP3s on your harddisk you can use mpxplay only, but if you´re looking for a menu based navigation I recommend to use MPXT as a frontend.
I will launch a new version of my MP3 player over the next days. I made a few bug fixes and I will add mpxplays fastlist support. So you can create fastlists on the fly just by a menu on your LCD Now the autoexec.bat gets very very long ;-).
If you need more informations you can mail me:
matthias_budde at web.de - please write "mp3 player" in the subject line. If collected over 250 MB of Dos software and drivers so far.

Last post by frank - December 12, 2004, 08:59:09 PMI found a FULL installation of MsDos 7.10 here:
http://newdos.yginfo.net/msdos71/index.htm" target="_blank">http://newdos.yginfo.net/msdos71/index.htm
no more need for Win9x, if all you want is Dos 7.
I came across that while searching for share.exe,
which part of the dos networking seems to need.

Last post by frank - December 12, 2004, 04:59:14 PMnevermind, I found xmsdsk on simtel.com.
but, it doesn't free up any more memory,
at least for me, so why use it?
before I found it, I had 621k free,
and after using it, still 621k.

what and where is xmsdsk.exe?

Last post by frank - December 12, 2004, 12:40:40 PMMatthias answered a couple questions for me, on the Mpxplay site,
about lcd and keypad.
I have an Optrex 20x4, with hd4478 chip.
That still leaves the what and why of Mpxt,
and Mpxplay with Mpxt vs. without.
Dos7 vs Dos6.22? FreeDos maybe?
With or without windows?

Last post by frank - December 10, 2004, 09:30:28 AMHi,
I'm just looking into building my own mp3 player, but haven't started yet,
and I have some questions about MPXT.
It's a frontend for Mpxplay: why?
What does it do or add to mpxplay?
I can't run mpxplay by itself?
What type/size lcd displays does it support?
serial/lpt? 20x2, 20x4, 40x4? hd4448, hd4478?
I see here and on Matthias' page you linked to,
that you both install windows, either 95 or 98.
Why? Can't I get by with just dos6.22?
or does it need the dos7 from win?
or something else from win?
or some other reason?
I see the links here and on Matthias' page about dos networking and lfn,
so I think that answers a couple other questions I would have had.
Thanks
