  • 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.

Just activated a new Xfinity Gateway (router) today which has a single 2.5GB ethernet (orange bar) port on it - the rest are 1GB:

Comcast now has a Wi-Fi 6 router for its high-speed customers

And it actually looks pretty nice.

Hooked it up to a Netgear ProSafe XS508M 10GB switch after I upped the Firewall sphincter pressure and turned off its internal WiFi.

Looking for ideas for a replacement for my EdgeRouter 6P which previously sat between the Gateway and my switches that has similar subnetting capabilities but a with a 10GB WAN port and at least one 10GB LAN port.
