Really I'm not familiar with DR DOS. I saw it in a box in a store for the first time last month… You say that DR DOS doesn't boot for you (I assume on your bridge) because some file is hidden (I assume you mean missing). Logic suggests (as I have nothing else to base it on) that there are two possibilities. Either the disk that was shipped with DR DOS is truly missing a file (not an impossibility, but unlikely for a company of DR's reputation) or the system (possibly the Janus software) is looking for something that is special to the Amiga's XT-BB makeup. A guess would be the first (have someone check it on their XT?). Even if you get DR DOS to boot, won't you have trouble getting the Janus utilities (AREAD, AWRITE, etc.) to work with it? I would guess that it's a different kernel, so software may not be directly compatible. I had no trouble installing MS-DOS 5.0 and it provides a simple option for uninstalling it if I find it doesn't work with something (it hasn't failed yet). David – via Whap!
