The question was, since from information other postings Egghead is
selling PC-DOS 5 for $40, some $20 cheaper than MS-DOS 5:
DOES PC-DOS 5 WORK ON CLONES?
The point is, can we clone owners expect to run PC-DOS 5 on our clones
& save the $20? I've followed this thread as best I could & haven't
seen anyone say specifically they were running PC-DOS 5 (the cheaper
version) on their clone, & which clone they had.
I would appreciate precise info...
No, Egghead is offering the $20 rebate on MS-DOS 5 (perhaps PC as well,
I don't know). And there seems to be no restrictions on whether your
computer has to be a true blue IBM.
