I don't think that MS-DOS 4.01 can handle Partitions large than 32 MB. Digital Research DOS 3.41 can have partitions up to 512Mb. I have tried this on several machines with 40Mb Hard Drives and it works fine. DR-DOS looks a bit funny if you are use to PC or MS DOS, but I think it's much better. I'm going to put it on my AT, once I assemble it. Now, does anyone know where in Western New York I could find a ST-277R. I don't want to get it through Mail Order, because I need it by the 25th of August. And, how good are IDE Hard Drives? Please E-mail me. "So many posts, so little time!" Nina Banerjee V081NHDB@UBVMSD
