Although even with the older ones, you can still do quite a bit. 3.31 is
the first where DOS supports a partition larger than 32MB
MS-DOS 5.00 is first where debug commands have a "/?" option to get a
short reminder of usage.
Agreed. (Like I'd dare to differ with Fred.)
My 2?'s worth is just: for an XT, if you want to fit a CF card or
something, try DR-DOS 3.41. It's out there in various places. RAM
usage as small as MS-DOS 3.3 but offers most of the benefits of MS-DOS
4 and some of MS-DOS 5 (both of which take a *lot* more RAM on an
XT-class machine.)
