Hi Pete:
Great. I also have DOS on a USB stick and it works on both of my
new computers that I have tested! Kinda neat.
I'm working on documenting the procedure to create a
bootable DOS CD that will allow you to boot DOS on a computer
that doesn't have a USB port or a floppy drive. The issue there
of course is where do you store the log?
