Steve,
Steven D. Kapplin 70055,1021 also runs DRDOS 6 on his bridgeboard.
Also, it has its own forum on NDSG where you would get a better 'sales
job.' Anyway, DRDOS is an operating system (OS) competing with Microsoft.
Now if you already have MSDOS 5.0 set up and don't need password or hard
disk compression, then you probably don't need to upgrade.
If you have anything earlier than MSDOS 5.0, then you should upgrade to
one of the DOS 6.0's, either MSDOS 6.0 or DRDOS 6.0.
DRDOS 6.0 is compatible with MSDOS 3.3. It has a version of SuperStor
with it that does work with the bridgeboard. I used it successfully on my
MAKEAB file on the Amiga harddrive until I got a hardcard for the PC side.
Addstor, the company that makes and owns SuperStor, gave us DRDOS owners
a price rebate on SuperStor PRO (which is not bundled with DRDOS although
the April 13 issue of PC Magazine erroneously says it is on page 114 or
thereabouts).
I don't think that I would mislead you, but I THINK DESQVIEW will run.
Shall I post a message in NDSG? Or would you prefer to ask yourself?
Anyway, there are already rumors about DR or Novell DOS 7. They like
to stay one version ahead of Microsoft. Supposedly, it would incorporate
netware and/or multi-tasking.
Perhaps Kapplin and some of the others will also comment!
Sincerely,
(Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless
'Perfessor Fearless' from the Rocket City!
P.S. I think I'll go ahead and ask in NDSG about DESQVIEW. Now I'm
curious.
