Hello, using MMC/SD Sinfox V.2.2 i formated 2G SD in xp like FAT (FAT16) and is inserted in SLOTB, MSX-DOS 2 dont recognise the FAT16 but i located into utils a program, FAT16.COM, after run it the 2G is fully recognise by the MSX-DOS 2, but if i reboot the msx the 2G SD now is not recognise, i´m wondering how could get that after ever time that i RESET the msx or power off i dont have to retype again the FAT16.COM to load the driver, will i have to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT?How?

Also i located the tool PATCHCOM.COM, i think this is for patch COMMAND2.COM but i dont know if this will work, any help?

Thanks.
Regards.

I think you loaded fat16.com from a floppy drive? Normaly you can not boot from a fat16 partition. So you have to split your SD into 2 partitions ..
One fat12 (MSX boots from the fat12 partition) and the other fat16. You can insert fat16.com into your autoexec.bat on your fat12 partition. Hope this help ?LOL!

edoz, he loaded fat16.com from a built-in bootable flash drive that SD/MMC cartridge has.

Also (check the news on the main page) the new COMMAND2.COM v2.44 with natively implemented COMPATCH was released recently - you may try it.

Hello, finally i edited the AUTOEXEC.BAT to make the FAT16.COM runs when MSXDOS-2 boot up, i tried COMMAND2.COM v2.44 update but didnt work, i replaced in my system v2.41 COMMAND2.COM file with COMMAND2.COM v.2.30 or v2.30 to try the patch, but when i used INSTALL.COM to make the updtate a message tell me that i dont have correct version. I´m wondering how could i try the patch to v2.44 if the system tell that i have v2.41 that it seems not is compatible to allow patching.
