I am buying a new 386DX/25 with a 130MEG hard drive.  I am not
sure which DOS version to get.  I have a 286 w/65MEG drive now,
running 3.2.  Of course I have two 33MEG partitions which gives
me a C and D drive.  I really don't want to now have a C,D,E,F & F
drive.  I can get a copy of DOS 4.0 (IBM) for a good price (free)
but see a DOS 4.01 out there.  Will both of these let me "see"
the full size on the C prompt?  What was the differance between
4.0 and 4.01?  I see people talking about 4DOS but I can't FTP
from my sight :-(  Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
Daniel
