[Bug] MS-DOS 6.0 SYS.COM gives Divide Overflow...

Post by Battler »

Basically, have it transfer files from a drive or directory where there are the relevant system files, to C:. It will give divide overflow.

Edit: It specifically happens with the SYS.COM of MS-DOS 6.0 OEMBase which differs from that of regular MS-DOS 6.0. Download link (SYS.COM only, not the full DOS): http://bep.si/?ownly .

Works fine here (with retail 6.0 anyway). More details please?

Use the SYS.COM I linked you to, not the regular MS-DOS 6.0 SYS.COM which does work.

I used the Award 430VX PCI, Pentium 75, 64 MB RAM. Not sure if the choice of board and CPU affects it, but it might.

Looks to be recompiler only.

Could you please read this : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4. It would make life somewhat easier...

Nope - looks to hit divide overflow only when trying to write to a disc that already has the system on it.

Do you have confirmation that this version of SYS.COM actually works properly on a real machine / another emulator when doing this? Because this isn't looking like a PCem bug to me - it appears that the OEMBase SYS.COM is either buggy or corrupt.

It might not be a PCem bug, since I had the same thing happen on my real PC (the same I'm posting this from right now - I have a smaller 32 MB partition for DOS on another drive).
