We have been operating our oldest micro, a PC manufactured in '81, under
PC-DOS 3.3 and have not experienced any of the strange formatting and
non-booting problems reported.  We have also changed the operating system on
a compatible to 3.3 and being that it is an AT clone it seems to format 1.2
MB disk just fine.

The config.sys settings are: Buffers=30, Files=20, device=ansi.sys
