Matthias 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?

Hi,

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

Need more DOS memory?
Then try this configuration. Looks strange but works perfect with 624 K available DOS memory:

Config.sys:
DOS=HIGH
DEVICEHIGH=C:DoSHimem.sys  
DEVICEHIGH=C:DoSEMM386.EXE NOEMS NOVCPI HIGHSCAN
FILESHIGH=22
BUFFERSHIGH=13,0
STACKSHIGH=0,0

FCBSHIGH=4,0
LASTDRIVEHIGH=R
DOS=UMB

autoexec.bat:
@ECHO ON
SET PATH=C:Dos;
LH c:DosSMARTDRV.EXE 4096 /X
REM RAM Disk is loading
LH C:DosXMSDSK.EXE 524 R: /Y
COPY C:COMMAND.COM R:
SET COMSPEC=R:COMMAND.COM

The links to http://www.lpt.com" target="_blank">www.lpt.com are dead.

Just wondering if anyone was using Dev-Cpp /MinGW / GCC under windows to compile any MpxPlay /MPXT related programs as I am use to the front end.

Matthias,

I'm still here.  Just took a little break from MPXT.  I'll get back to it sometime in the next week or two.
