Hello, i'm looking for the latest msxdos2.sys v2.33 by Hardware Partners Nederland/KdL and i'm looking too for the unZAPP msx anti-virus to check if my command2.com is free of viruses.

Whould anyone be so kindly to tell me where can i get those files pretty please? I have looked all over the net but i only found dead links.

Thanks a lot.

Meits, don't you know what a computer virus is? As far as i know msx has some too, and the plural of virus is viruses, so what's wrong?

DRomero, take a look at this thread: How I can get the full package of COMMAND.COM v2.42 or its source code today?, not 2.33; but close...;-)

Beware the ZAPP virus infected versions!

Thanks jltursan for the help, i have found TCAV.COM, my command2.com was virus free Smile

Few days ago i found the thread you pointed. It talks about a full package and a private link but i have not found any private link at all, maybe because it's private? Smile

I'm asking because i bought recently a Panasonic FS-A1 WSX but it came with no system disks, so i'm trying to make a disk with the latest version of MSX-DOS. At the momment i have command.com v2.44 and msxdos.sys v2.20, will my machine take beneficit of msxdos.sys v2.33? or this version is only for TurboR? Any benefit of using it over 2.20?

Sorry if my questions seems trivial but i have very little experience with msx-dos, i only want to get an up to date working environment for my machine so i can start playing with it.

Thanks a lot.

2.44?, it's the most updated MSX-DOS version, forget about 2.33...

If you want to get the most of your MSX, take a look at Nextor 2.0. It's still an alpha version; but looks fab.

It's not about typing viruses right or wrong... It's about the fact that there's no Virus... Unless you run into a dutch madcap's "virus" displaying a funny txt if you run the "infected" .com on a certain date (somewhere far in the past)...

@Meits: My apologies then Meits, english is not my native language and i can misunderstood sometimes.

I read about infected command.com in the thread jltursan linked to me, page 2, last KdL post. And because i can't access the private links, i have to patch a command myself to 2.44, i only wanted to be sure mine was clean Smile

@jltursan: I already have command2.com patched to 2.44, i was refering to msxdos2.sys:

MSXDOS2.SYS 2.33 by KdL:
- Updated the MSXDOS2.SYS version to "2.33".
- Fixed the background and border colors that were swapped for error from Debug Mode.

- Added a switch for Debug Mode that will be enabled on border color "1" only.
Usage: COLOR,,1:SETSCREEN from BASIC to enable the debug mode. With the other colors was disabled.
- CONFIG.BAT filename (by H.P.N.) was restored into REBOOT.BAT for compatibility.

Sorry again if my elloquence in english is not good enough, my fault Smile2

DRomero:

Have a look at TNI's page. It's newer than KdL's version.
