An excellent choice.
MS-DOS 6.20, 6.21, 6.22 have the unique distinction of being the only
versions of DOS for which the primary design goal was to improve
reliability, rather than add new "features".
Speaking of good DOSes, I'm not sure what the general consensus is here, but my
favorite DOS was IBM PC-DOS 7.0 before upgrading to Windows 95 back in the day. To me,
there was a lot to like about it: A lot of good Central Point tools were included with it,
REXX, a nice graphical DOS shell, a disk defrag tool, Stacker (which I used quite a bit
with some ST-225s back in the day), a decent editor, ability to load drivers from the
command line via dynaload...
