NO. I didn't test the networkig yet. But the rat BUG seems finally fixed ... thanks to Volker Ruppert

Does the sound (SB16 ISA) still work (host<>DOS) for you or anyone in 2.6.6 ?

What's new in 2.6.6:

# "upgraded" DLL dependency "WSOCK32.DLL" -> "WS2_32.DLL"

# added junk DLL dependency "IPHLPAPI.DLL"

# reduced main EXE bloat (effect also persists after ZIP'ping)

# broke SB16 ???

# IDE DMA / XDMA / IDECHECK problems not fixed (not "IDE DMA / XDMA / IDECHECK not unfixed" damn )

Missing imports in 2.6.1 to 2.6.6:
"SetScrollInfo" and "MapDialogRect" in "USER32.dll"

DLL's 5 KiO ZIP

Fixed BIOS (32 KiO ZIP):
