====== FreeDOS/V Asaasa Private Edition ======
  * This page is just a “display test for web browsing on FreeDOS”—it doesn't really mean anything lol
  * This is a repository for the results of the so-called FreeDOS/V project. See [[..:freedosv:tojpn|Converting FreeDOS to DOS/V]] for details on a separate page.
  * If you refer to [[tips:dos:freedos:dosv|FreeDOS - DOS/V Conversion Plan]], you should be able to manage at least “Japanese keyboard” and “ATAPI DVD drive” using only the stock FreeDOS binaries.

===== License =====
  * Items uploaded here may be freely distributed on the condition that they are redistributed “as-is” as a ZIP file containing all floppy images, HDD images, and original distribution files.
    * [[..:freedosv:license|FreeDOS/V Private Edition Copyright and Licensing]] A summary of the individual licenses for the constituent software.
  * Please refrain from reposting or redistributing floppy disk images or HDD images on their own. (This would violate the redistribution provisions of some of the included software and applications.)
    * I suppose it would be acceptable to burn them to CD, DVD, or USB as long as you include the original ZIP file containing all the components.
  * The person who compiled this is “Asasa,” and while they retain copyright on some of the custom batch files, please consider this to be based on the 3-clause BSD license.
  * You may use this free of charge for non-commercial and personal use. Since it contains software that prohibits commercial use, please refrain from using it for business purposes.
  * We assume no obligation to guarantee operation or fix bugs. Please use at your own risk.

===== System Requirements =====
  * A PC/AT-compatible machine (so-called “DOS-V” machine) equipped with an Intel 80386 16MHz or higher CPU. It must be an upward-compatible CPU that retains Intel 8086 compatibility.
    * Naturally, it will not run on “non-DOS-V” machines such as the NEC PC-9801/PC-9821 series.
  * Must have 16MB or more of physical memory. (This is to expand to a 12MB RAM disk. If you resize the RAM disk, allow for approximately 4MB in addition to the RAM disk capacity.)
  * Must have a VGA or upwardly compatible graphics card, or an integrated graphics chip. DOS/V is not supported at resolutions lower than VGA, such as CGA.
  * Must be capable of BIOS-compatible boot. Does not support UEFI-only or SecureBoot.
  * CD-ROM/DVD-ROM support is limited to “IDE/ATAPI connections only.” If using SCSI or other interfaces, please reconfigure FDCONFIG.SYS and device drivers.
  * Must use a Japanese 106/109-key or compatible keyboard. (Since the settings are not configured for English keyboards, modifications are required for non-Japanese keyboards.)
  * A virtual machine running 86Box, VirtualBox, or VirtualPC 2004 or 2007, or a physical machine that meets the above conditions. (Note: This has not been verified on physical machines.)
    * For Hyper-V, please change the extension of the floppy disk image file to .vfd. It should work properly after that.
    * For VMware, it can be used practically only “when the DOS/V feature is not used.” If you use DOS/V mode, the CPU will core dump and crash, so it cannot be used.
    * CDBoot support is optional. If you can boot from it, you might be able to run FreeDOS LiveCDs and other applications more comfortably.

===== Features =====
  * FreeDOS 1.4 (2025 version) can be booted from floppy images in “FreeDOS DOS/V compatibility mode” or “FreeDOS normal mode”
    * Since it is extracted to a RAM disk, you can use it comfortably without worrying about disk access speeds after extraction (however, at least 16MB of physical memory is required; while this might be manageable on PCs from the Windows 95 generation onward, it will likely be difficult on PCs running Windows 3.1 or earlier due to memory limitations)
  * Includes BATUTY, LHA, FD, MIEL, etc., allowing you to work with LZH archives. Additionally, by obtaining PKZIP-based software separately, you can handle ZIP files from the DOS era (you can use the UNZIP/ZIP included with the FreeDOS LiveCD, but they are not compatible with FD.com)
    * Since PKZIP-based software is considered “commercial software” and is not permitted to be redistributed online, it is generally difficult to obtain through legitimate means.
  * The inclusion of the VZ Editor allows for comfortable text editing in both Japanese mode (DOS/V) and English mode.
  * With the combination of the custom \FreeDOS\BIN\FDIMPLES.BAT and the FreeDOS 1.4 LiveCD, you can add the “FreeDOS Official Binaries” package as an aftermarket addition.
    * Strangely enough, installing the FreeDOS T26xx LiveCD allows you to upgrade to the latest beta version of FreeDOS.
  * You can install FreeDOS/V on an HDD/SSD? using your own A:\INSTDOS.BAT.
