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
