Syslinux - May 2005 - AW: SYSLINUX 3.08-pre10, including "bigraw" support

hi,

i've tested with 2 version of awdflash and uniflash:
here the results:

it only worked with freedos, not with win98 dos;
with win98 the images were not bootable; but
that does not matter; freedos is ok.

awdflash 8.27.45: flash ok
awdflash 8.27.41 (uses protected mode): flash ok
uniflash 1.40: when starting flashing the program freeze.

awdflash 8.27.45 never worked before so i think this
was a great work, thx.

i'll contact the programmer of freedos. maybe he can
write a workaround for this problem. i'll write it
to this mailing list if i know something new for you.

bye, johannes (jaf)
