Yeah, those were fun times. I didn't have much chance to mess with DR-DOS at th
e time and didn't know much about it. I thought it was pretty cool when MS-DOS
5 came out and had its new features, such as the ability to configure a boot men
u in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT with different configuration options for differ
ent scenarios. I think I read that was originally a feature in DR-DOS?
I never really had a chance to play with Geoworks either.
