(again) Keywords: DOS Message-ID: <1991Mar31.195238.24513@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu> Date: 31 Mar 91 19:52:38 GMT References: <1991Mar29.164431.18022@novell.com> Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana Lines: 12 While we're on the subject of dosses (dosum, dosi?), I have ms dos 3.2, which has served me fine, but now that I've upgraded from a 720k drive to a 1.4m drive on my 286, I can only format 1.4m disks. format /4 gives me "bad track 0" errors. I'm figuring that I need to upgrade to dos 3.3 at least. Does this make sense? Does anybody know the differences between dos 3.2 and 3.3 (and how about 4.01?). Does anybody have a history file of dos? I'd be curious about the differences between the various dosses as they progressed from 1 to 5.
