I have had my share of problems after installing 386MAX on my PC
which is running DR-DOS version 6.  I got file corruption problem
when I tried to copy files onto the floppy ( 3.5" or 5.25" ) in Windows 3.1.

After switching memory manager to the native DR-DOS memory manager
or QEMM, the problem disappeared.  Wonder if anyone else faced the same
problem in using the same combination of software?
