allan,
  The update of DOS to 3.3 on IBM hard drives(or compatables) is not a
problem.  It is fully explained on 3-4 of the DOS 3.3 manuel.  If you do
not have it yet, all it entailsis :

      sys c:    -puts system to c:

      replace a:\*.* c:\ /s /r    -replaces old DOS{files with new version

      replace a:\*.* c<path> /a   -add new DOS 3.3 files

The update, however ddepends on the compatability of the hard drive.  I
havean 80Meg Tallgrass drive that does not yet havesupport for DOS
3.3.  Make sure your drive does, otherwise you may lose all your files.
It probbly be a goosd idea to back it up before trying an update.
