China DOS Union

Since entering university in 1994, I have been engaged in DOS programming for 4 years, from BASIC, Turbo C, Turbo Pascal, Borland C++, and even when DJPGG first came out, I also did 32-bit DOS programming for a while. At that time, I bought a lot of books, including that very famous one: "Unpublished DOS Secrets". Back then, I once wrote a small software with Turbo Pascal and won an award in the national competition.

I have been using from DOS 5.x, Windows 3.1, PWIN3.2, Windows 95, Windows 95 osr2/Windows 97, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows XP. I have the deepest affection for DOS. In 1997, I think I was one of the first people in China to write USB drivers with Windows 95 DDK, because USB just came out in 1997. Facing the powerful graphical interface of Windows, I still miss the era of writing DOS programs with 386.

After 2000, I mainly worked on system hardware and chips. I think one day I might take out Borland C again and write a few lines of DOS programs. I think one day I will use my own chips to reproduce the glory of DOS.

Oh, a guy, why are you just showing up now????

Great talent~~~Top up~

The expert in 2007, you are not too late to come.

Haven't seen a genius, but haven't missed out on beef ———— Really too awesome (Why with an X?)

Hehe, really funny

Remember your name is GORDON=COW, heh heh

Welcome, everyone. You're all welcome to come

Praised.

Correct the previous text error, DJPGG should be DJGPP, which is the first set of development tools for porting GNU CC to the DOS platform, supporting 32-bit DOS protected mode programming.

In fact, the support for USB in Windows 95 DDK is quite limited. In fact, later I purchased the MSDN CD through Hong Kong (at that time, there was no MSDN development CD in the mainland), and used the Windows NT DDK to develop WDM USB programs. My graduation project also chose USB development.

I will talk to you later about the situation under the DOS platform back then, such as where the development software came from back then, the situation when CD-ROMs first became popular in China, the first batch of pirated CDs back then, the situation of Chinese DOS, the WPS word processing software, Sina.com, Chinese Star (the software written by the founder of Sina)...



In addition, I asked a friend to send the CDs I bought back then from my hometown, and it should be available next month. The development tools that were like treasures back then, such as Borland C++ 3.1, Borland C++ 4.5. VC1.52, VC4.2.
There were probably nearly ten packs of CDs. There were also nearly 5,000 yuan worth of technical books, which were packed in seven large boxes and shipped back then. Because there is no place at home now, they have been in my hometown all the time.

Borland C++ 5.0 is quite unstable and crashes after running for a while on Chinese Windows 95. This is equivalent to a sign that Borland C++ is going out of history. Borland C++ Builder came a long time later. C++Builder was launched after Delphi was successful.

X'man (X-Men) also has X, no wonder they are all awesome.
Even the symbols in XXX: State of the Union are combinations of multiple Xs (no wonder even more awesome)

Can you teach me how to make an img?

Haha, not bad, buddy! You're really good! You're actually one of the first people to write USB drivers using DDK

Fortunately to meet this expert, really lucky~~~
