MS-DOS version (was: What's best to do?? classically speaking

At the moment, I don't have a functional machine that will run the Zenith DOS, but here's the text of a message I posted about 3 months ago to Usenet with a link, which is still valid, that gives some of the differences between the various DOS versions, including Zenith DOS 3.3+ ---------------------- I did a quick search on Altavista of "Zenith DOS 3.3" and came up with the following URL: http://kb.indiana.edu/data/aams.html It states that Zenith DOS 3.3+ supported the larger partition size supported by DOS 4.0. We had a couple of Zenith 248's that ran 3.3+ but most of ours ran Zenith DOS 3.2 with either 20meg (ST-225) or 40meg (ST-251 or dual ST-225's) drives. The ST-251's were generally partitioned into two 20meg partitions, even if using DOS 3.3+. This was done for compatibility purposes since any extended 3.3+ partition would be unreadable if the system was booted from a 3.2 floppy. Judging from the way the timeline on the page is laid out, it would appear that Zenith DOS 3.3+ may have been the first to break the 32MB/partition barrier. -------------------- Jeff -- Collector of Classic Microcomputers and Video Game Systems: Home of the TRS-80 Model 2000 FAQ File http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/lakes/6757
