what could be supported
No, Linuxant driverloader is a different product which I don't think is GPL'd. If ReactOS is having trouble emulating Windows native mode support to use exisiting vendor Windows 5+ drivers then using a widget to adapt those drivers gives us so much more hardware usability. It is a sad but most affor...

Re: NT Tutorials?
I've provided Windows support for many years and those were the books that helped me understand the operating systems design decisions. The first edition of "Operating Systems Concepts" (1985) sucked, at least in comparison to "Operating System Design and Implementation" by Andre...

Windows Native Mode support?
I was trying to find what kind of support was in ReactOS for Windows Native mode, as most windows drivers load at that level (as do the user subsystems like Win32). As for Network cards, there was a product called I believe "ANT" that was not freeware but which set up an "NDIS wrapper...

NT Tutorials?
Although Temps had access to source code (and some Temps and "Blue-badges" downloaded it) there is limited utility in 30 million lines of undocumented code. The best grounding on NT (I did support) was "Inside Windows NT" (the one with Helen Custer) and "Showstopper" by...

Re: Free Operating Systems That Aren't Linux
Minnix sort of started it all. Gave Linus the idea. Yet both are based on 'Lion's Commentary' .(Linux even has the v6 bugs.)
Useful is more important than free. Seems that some think free is only GPL, are all those OS's gpl'ed?

Re: Please donate für full USB Support !
If you follow the Linux OS-on-a-Stick and other troubleshooting discussions you would see that USB compatibility depends on Vendor adherence to USB Standards, which is sloppy and voluntary. Not to mention that many non-Legacy USB devices are "Win" devices with a USB interface but the "...

RE: Microsoft support for SATA
Press F6 (hee hee). On the MS whdc page there is a whitepaper that SATA will be retired in favor of USB. If you read the SATA Standard, then read chipset and motherboard and disk manufacturer and bios support (Phoenix, AMI) documentation you'll see some variation in how the standard is interpreted. ...
