3 DOS + UCSHELL boot disks I made with GRUB - China DOS Union Forum

The following is quoted from lotusice at 2003-7-29 10:13:23:
Question for the moderator:
Where did you get your grub from?
Which operating systems include it?
Could you provide the complete files?
Thanks!

Here is GRUB for DOS:

All three items work in Connectix Virtual PC. I haven't tested on a real machine because I have no floppy drive. I'd like to ask webmaster Wengier something: I want to add a few things on the basis of your boot disk: add a shortcut in ucshell to automatically use Ghost to back up hard disk C to another partition, add a shortcut to automatically restore a system from a CD GHO to drive C, and add another shortcut to automatically restore a GHO from the hard disk to drive C (of course I will put Ghost.exe on the CD), and then add this boot disk to a bootable CD. I wonder whether this is feasible? Also, does the webmaster know of any software that can emulate a perfect floppy drive, one that is readable and writable? What I mean is that I don't have a floppy drive, but a lot of software, such as boot disk creation, still requires a floppy drive, so I'd like to find software to replace one.

What software can emulate a "readable and writable" floppy drive?

GRUB for DOS currently emulates a read-only floppy drive. Emulating a "readable and writable" floppy drive is a feature to be implemented. Since someone is already found to need this feature now, this capability will be added in the next version. Please keep an eye on the development of GRUB for DOS (I am responsible for developing GRUB for DOS).

Good stuff, I didn't expect there to be GNU in China too. Wengier, respect, respect.
I'm preparing to combine all the ones I commonly use together.

After booting from the CD, if DOS is added into the virtual floppy drive, is it possible to have the system boot again from the virtual floppy drive?

Yes!

This is nice, unfortunately I still haven't downloaded it successfully.

I can't download it either!
Why?

Poster above, this is already a thread from over a year ago. The old server can't be used anymore.

Where can it be downloaded now???

Use HD-COPY or WinImage and similar software to unpack it onto the floppy disk! Don't copy it directly!

Can't download it, man!!!

Right, where should it be downloaded now?

Late to the thread, getting ready to test it!!!

OP, "3 DOS + UCSHELL boot disks I made with GRUB"
can't be downloaded anymore. Could you fix the link or send it to my email? I'm begging you! Thanks in advance.

What's going on, can't download it
