#DRDOS
Steven,
I'm running DRDOS 5 on my XT bridgeboard now. Except for losing
the jlink virtual drives, it is similar to running MSDOS 3.3. The
aread/awrite command pair is still available. The atime and amouse also
work assuming you don't have something else like the SOTA 386si that
prevents the use of the amouse and atime programs. Moreover, the use of
DRDOS 5 's additional enhancements is available such as the command line
history similar to the Amiga shell or Norton Commander's command history
(Please note that I said similar NOT the same). Some of the memory
management is also available. You would also be able to have hard disk
partitions greater than 32M. DRDOS 5 is designed to be compatible with
MSDOS 3.3 and will report back a version number of 3.3 to those programs
that require it.
There is a utility available in DRFORUM to set the version in
DRDOS. Of course it is possible to find out a great many more things about
DRDOS there.
Hope this helps! 🙂
Sincerely,

PS A friend and I are going to try to hack the jlink program
to act correctly under DRDOS.
