Hi:
I believe Caldera Dr. DOS suffers from the 8 GByte limitation,
meaning it can't be located on a partition more than 8
GBytes from the beginning of a disk. For many dual-booting
applications, this makes newer versions of MS-Dos more
desireable. However, sound like it works fine otherwise!
Also, doesn't the free DR-DOS impose a 30 second
delay on boot unless you buy a license?
73,
Mark, KD4D
