  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

I threw together a little code to produce this CSV, hopefully it's useful. Here's the first few records so you know what to expect inside the whole file which is too large to post here in text. I could also include the description of each episode, but that is really long and I don't think it's useful for human consumption in a CSV file.

do you mean "Has
Steve listed the specific episodes he's thinking of?
"
That, or someone else. Either way, I'm looking for a curated list of some sort. I wrote a python script to email me SN episodes, so just need some episode number recommendations
I threw together a little code to produce this CSV, hopefully it's useful
Maybe I'll just string search in here for interesting topics
Thanks!
