Dosemu once used to build under NetBSD; I'm not sure that it still does (last time I spoke with John Kohl I got the impression that making it work was a once-off thing). > > I'd recommend > > you port your application to native FreeBSD, or use a comparable native > > application. > > It would be quit hard and I have no docs on hardware (this is > an ISA card which allows to store >2G on 180 min. video casette) The hardware is unlikely to work correctly under emulation anyway. I think I'm reasonably familiar with the hardware in question, and you would do well to just give up now and get a real backup device. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
