It shows that Chinese file names are supported, but when using the DIR command, the displayed Chinese file names are garbled;

If you want to view Chinese file names, you need to load a Chinese character system first, such as XZL built-in in the boot disk. Otherwise, it will naturally be garbled.

Regarding the universality issue of USB flash drives, I can't do too many tests. After all, I don't have any USB devices now (I had some before, but now I don't have any).

wingier, how to use programs like CHKDSK, FORMAT in CAB archives under DOS?

Thanks!

These are all standard DOS commands! Go to the "DOS Learning Introduction" section to have a look.

Maybe I didn't make it clear. I know these commands, but when I entered these commands in MSDOS7.10, it reminded me that they were incorrect commands. When I went in to have a look under Windows, it turned out that it was in the CAB package.

The MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk will automatically extract this CAB package during startup so that these commands can be used normally.

wingier, sorry about that. MSDOS 7.10 is really easy to use, and I'm all set now. After loading the Chinese character system, Chinese characters are indeed displayed. I'm just too green.

Good, hope Wengier continues to improve and perfect.

Can it start successfully without a hard disk?

Yes! I successfully started it for the first time under this condition.

The latest version "Super Universal MS-DOS 7.10 Boot Disk" of Build 2003.6.30 has been launched, updating files such as IO.SYS, DOSLFN, DUSE loading, README.TXT, etc. The download address remains unchanged:

However, it is estimated that this will be the last version, and in the future, it will be fully updated to "China DOS Union Super DOS Boot Disk".

The following is the speech of hwlon on 2003-4-19 9:29:29:
Select item 1 and item 3, cannot boot VC; on the 845G motherboard, items 3 and 4 boot to freeze after loading the USB optical drive.

Then that means only using item 2 and item 5 has no problem on this computer, right.

I also encountered the same problem, and it is also an 845 motherboard.
Test results:
1. Items 1 to 4 of the original disc cannot boot. If the CD item DEVICEHIGH=ASPICD.SYS /D:SCSI-CD is deleted in the CONFIG file, then item 1 can boot.
2. Select item 2. If the M2 item DEVICE=HIRAM.EXE is deleted in the CONFIG file, it can boot. If this program is loaded, it will freeze and cannot be hot-booted.
3. Items 3 and 4 are tested by me. For the USB item, except for loading the two items DEVICE=ECHO.SYS and DEVICE=ECHO.SYS L/o/a/d/i/n/g USB /d/r/i/v/e/s /s/u/p/p/o/r/t..., freezing occurs when any other USB driver is loaded.
The new version of the moderator a few days ago is still the same. It is suggested that the moderator study it.

I conducted an experiment with the Super Universal MS-DOS 7.10 Boot Disk and discovered the following issues:
1. The Super Universal MS-DOS 7.10 Boot Disk does not support motherboards with more than 4 USB interfaces, including cases where there are both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
2. My USB external hard drive is a FAT32 12G, and the computers are an IBM T20 and an HP desktop. When selecting items 3-4 to boot, it stops for a long time at "{Made by wengier.china dos union.all rights reserved }".
3. It freezes after "{unicode support is enabled }" and can no longer be operated.
4. After "{please choose the hard disk cache you like in 8 seconds}", there are three options "{pc-cache smartdrv cancle}". What does this mean?
5. When using the MS-DOS 7.10 from February 2003 to drive the USB external hard drive, it was very good. The USB external hard drive was smoothly recognized.

I conducted an experiment with the Super General MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk and found the following problems:
   1. The Super General MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk does not support motherboards with more than 4 USB interfaces, such as when there are both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
   2. My USB external hard disk is FAT32 with 12G, and the computers are IBM T20 and HP desktop computers. When selecting options 3-4 to boot, there is a long pause at {Made by wengier.china dos union.all rights reserved }.
   3. After {unicode support is enabled }, it crashes and cannot move anymore.
   4. After {please choose the hard disk cache you like in 8 seconds }, there are three options {pc-cache smartdrv cancle }. What does this mean?
   5. When I used the MS-DOS 7.10 from February 2003 to drive the USB external hard disk, it was very good. It smoothly recognized the USB external hard disk.

"I think the boot disk shouldn't have a LOGO screen. After all, the space of the floppy disk is limited, and the function should be the priority." I AGREE!!!

Can we compress the logo? The logo itself is a BMP file, starting with the signature "BM". And BMP files support RLE8, RLE4 compression. The file you have now is uncompressed. I think we can find a tool to convert it to a compressed BMP file, which can save a lot of space.
