[-------]

A friend of mine recently gave me a DEC Rainbow 100 and modem for my own
personal use.  It makes a fine terminal, but I would like to run MS-DOS on
it because I have access to a good deal of MS-DOS software.  I know that the
disk formats are different and that I cannot expect to run many programs
which work on the IBM PC on the Rainbow.  I have a version of CPM, but I
would perfer MS-DOS.  I can't seem to find a copy anywhere, but I know such
a beast exists.  If anyone could tell me how I might go about getting a copy
of MS-DOS for the Rainbow, then I would greatly apprecitate it.  I know the
the Rainbow does not top the list of all time great micro computers, but
then why else would someone just give it to me?

Thanks.
