DOS 5 Upgrade?
4 messages in this thread
Betty,
Are you going to install one of the DOS 5's, on your Bridgeboard?
I know MSDOS 5.0 can be installed, but I just had to be different and try
DR DOS 5.0. I've given up on getting it to work by myself. This is where
I get to test all the technical available.
The message about the MSDOS 5.0 installation was on the Starship on
GEnie.

I hear so many complaints about DOS 5.0 (from the people who use IBM
machines, mostly) that I have decided to wait for 5.1 before I even
consider it. I really don't need it anyway. I'm still using 3.3, and it
works fine with the two applications I use on the BB.

Gayle: I've used MS-DOS 3.3 with the Bridgeboard and a stand-alone PC I've
got. But yesterday I saw a special on DR-DOS for $40 (with Lotus Magellan
tossed in for another $20) and I grabbed it. I've got 30 days to see if it
works before I can't get my money back. According to the docs, DR-DOS is
essentially compatible with MS-DOS 3.3, plus of course all its
enhancements. I wasn't planning to load it onto my Bridgeboard, rather, the
other computer, but if I get a chance I'll give it a go and compare notes
with you. I see no reason why it shouldn't run, but… .
