For those who may not have seen it elsewhere, here is the recent release
from Suitable Solutions regarding MS-DOS 3.1:
Announcing MS-DOS 3.1 for the DEC Rainbow May 16, 1988
Suitable Solutions, Inc. of Santa Clara, California announces the
signing of an exclusive agreement with Digital Equipment Corporation
for MS-DOS version 3.1 for the DEC Rainbow.
MS-DOS version 3.1 was intended to be released by DEC in 1987, along
with MS-WINDOWS and a network integration kit, but was shelved when
DEC discontinued sales and manufacturing of the Rainbow. Suitable
Solutions, the leading manufacturer of add-on products for the
Rainbow, will now be providing Rainbow users with MS-DOS version
3.1. There are no plans to provide either MS-Windows or the network
integration kit at this time. Suitable Solutions will be solely
responsible for sales, distribution, and support of the MS-DOS 3.1
software.
One of the major advantages of MS-DOS 3.1 for the Rainbow is the
ability to make full use of large hard disks. Previously, Rainbow
users were limited to a maximum of four 8-megabyte partitions under
MS-DOS. With DOS 3.1, users can create any number of partitions up
to 32 megabytes each. In addition, version 3.1 of MS-DOS adds a
number of new commands and features, including ASSIGN, ATTIB, JOIN,
SHARE and SUBST.
MS-DOS version 3.1 is expected to ship by August 1, 1988. For
further details, contact Suitable Solutions' representatives in
Booth 2025, DEXPO South 88.
