Is it possible to install and run both MS-DOS and OS/2 on the same
computer?  I am trying to use devices (e.g., CD-ROMs and large
removable disks) that have drivers for MS-DOS but not for OS/2.
Can I do what I do with Xenix, have a non-DOS partition containing
OS/2 that I make active with fdisk and reboot?  Can I force OS/2 to
recognize DOS drivers under the compatibility box?

Please respond via email and I will post a summary.
