- E/D 1.99q12 is, overall, the best build of Executor ever!
- BUT.....
- I can't access Mac CD's under Win95. DOS drive E: (my CD-ROM) shows up OK but
- when I either have Mac CD in the drive at startup or check for one later,
- Executor won't mount it. In previous builds, E/D would remount a DOS/WIN95 CD
- thereby causing Win95 to AutoPlay it (I have AutoPlay Extender loaded) and go
- back to Win95, but would not open a Mac CD. Now, E/D doesn't even look for a
- disk in the CD-ROM drive (the light doesn't come on).
- It might have something to do with Win95's use of virtual (32-bit) drivers for
- the CD-ROM (I have *NO* 16-drivers).
- Have used "-macdrives e" and "-dosdrives e" to no avail.
-
- Mac CD's mount fine under plain DOS. And yes it is a little faster and has a
- little more memory under DOS, but i hate waiting 4 minutes to unload then
- reload the GUI to run DOS mode.
-
- I know ARDI has it's hand full trying to get beta0 out the door, but I believe
- that this bug is significant enough to warrent a fix.
-
- In other news.....
- The Lemmings "Fade/Flash thing" has been fixed but now i get artifacts when
- scrolling in More Lemmings Demo and Stuff-it crashed when the screen would not
- redraw correctly when it started (no trace info; it just kicked out to DOS),
- but I haven't been able to create that. However, Stuff-it sometimes leaves
- screen artifacts from Browser when it starts or when selecting a menu.
-
- I have a 486DX2-66 w/ 8MB
- Mach32 PCI video using UniVBE 5.1a VBE 2.0 and NO linear frame buffer
- Resolution: 800x600 @ 256 colors
- CD-ROM Drive: Mitsumi CRMC-FX001 using Win95 32-bit drivers
- Switches: -size 800x600 -bpp 8 -dosdrives cd -skipdrives h -applzone 3M
