Hi guys:
I have one of these booting DOS. Runs just fine. Haven't used
it yet for the intended purpose. Actually, it's easy enough to
create a bootable CD with DOS, but then you need somewhere
to hold the files. Heck, a 16 MebaByte memory stick would be more
than enough for any contest log and DOS and CT or TR I can think
of...
73,
Mark
