> Thanks Jim, and did you have any clues why the main site is down ?

"There was a power outage in Hong Kong this weekend, as Johnson Lam
was away on business, and his home server at optimizr.dyndns.org
did not re-boot correctly after power was restored. Johnson says
he will address this upon returning home.

The 6-Jun-2021 DRIVERS.ZIP file is the most current set of the DOS
drivers from Jack R. Ellis. There are no new ideas for improving
them, and they can be considered "mature".

The Closed-Source drivers available from optimizr.dyndns.org are
NOT equal to the Open-Source drivers from FreeDOS IBiblio. There
are many better Closed-Source items, as noted in the README files.

The FreeDOS XMGR/UHDD were updated in 2019-2021 and now work fine.
The other FreeDOS drivers needed no updates. There are no plans
to include any more Closed-Source items in the Open-Source FreeDOS
drivers, which now have no known problems."
