China DOS Union

I used the DOS system boot extracted from the Windows 98 system disk, and then started UCDOS. After the UCDOS.BAT startup file was executed, the following prompts appeared respectively:
《Display driver not found
*** Error:Please run KNL.COM first ***
*** Error:Please run KNL.COM first ***
*** Error:RDFNT Already existed ***》
Unable to start UCDOS to enter the Chinese state.
After running KNL.COM, another prompt was given:
Display driver not found
Then I checked in the UCDOS directory, and the program files "KNL.COM" and "PRNT.COM" are both saved in the file directory.
I also checked the contents of the UP.BAT and UCDOS.BAT startup files, and there are no errors. Including the two command lines: "C:\UCDOS\KNL %2" and "C:\UCDOS\PRNT".

It has nothing to do with RD. Booting with DOS 7.1 doesn't have this problem (but the keyboard is messed up when booting with 7.1, the caps lock and num lock are reversed). But booting with 98 doesn't work.

If there is RD16.COM, do you check if there are any *.DRV files in the DRV subdirectory under the UCDOS directory

In the future, for any problems, especially technical ones, do not use private messages. I won't receive private messages faster than seeing your posts.

Thanks.

All are available, but it just can't boot.

Booting with DOS 7.1 disk is okay.

No special configurations are loaded. Booting with the one extracted from 98 gives an error.

Then execute step by step to see if there is any error. Did you get any error when executing RD16?

@ECHO OFF
RD16
KNL
PY
LIMD WB.IMD
RDFNT
PRNT
TX

You can just remove the parameters after RD16 and KNL

Thank you.

Annoying
Old stuff is free but costs life
@ECHO OFF
C:\UCDOS\RD16 %1
C:\UCDOS\KNL %2
C:\UCDOS\TX
C:\UCDOS\PY
C:\UCDOS\RDFNT

After removing the parameters, it prompts that there is no font library

Normally, this shouldn't be the reason. %1 %2 If you don't enter parameters, it's the same as not having them.

Now it seems I remember. %1 is like parameter passing in a function. I've forgotten it after not using it for several years. -_-!

It shouldn't be right either. Whether there are parameters or not, it shouldn't prompt that there is no font library. Unless you really don't have the font library file HZK16.

Dizzy
Can't execute no matter how I try

I think maybe the boot disk you found is problematic. The thing that "the keyboard is messed up when booting with 7.1, and the caps lock and num lock are reversed" is very strange itself. Whether it's MS-DOS 7.10 of Win98 or the MS-DOS 7.10 downloaded from this site, there won't be such a default setting after installation. Where did you get your 7.1 from, and where did you get your UCDOS 6.0 from? By the way,按理说 only the later-launched pocket version of UCDOS can be used on any machine. The previously released UCDOS 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 can only be used on this machine after installation and can never be extracted and used alone on other machines.

The one I extracted is from the Windows 98 system disk, and it should run without problems. For 7.1, I used the one from the webmaster, it seems (both are IMG versions, not installed). I think it's a setting issue.

Then what about UCDOS? Please answer more comprehensively.
