WOWWWWWW!   I did not know they are doing a 286 version!  When did this
get announced?

BTW, While on the SoftPC bandwagon...Has anyone gotten MSDOS 4.01 to work
under SoftPC?  I tried, it looked like it was ok, but I couldn't run Format
on 'new' virtual HD devices and CHKDSK said 'Invalid drive specification'
for anything but A:

Any ideas?
