I have problems with IBM PS/2 model 55 SX using PC-DOS 3.3.
In the hard disk there is OS/2 1.1 EE. When I start the computer from
floppy disk with PC-DOS it does not recognize hard disk driver C:
and D:. When I try to go drive C or D, DOS says: "Invalid drive
specification".

I need the original DOS because there is not enough free memory
( only 480 kB)in OS/2 DOS-box. I need free memory little
over 500 kB.

Is there any possibilities to have more memory in OS/2 DOS-box?

Why I cannot use hard disk when I start the computer from diskette?
