PD>IMHO, there are 2 ways to go with DOS right now -- either DR-DOS 6.0

Just curious: I have DOS 6.0 on my 386sx (40meg drive doubled to near-80
with SuperStor, 4meg RAM--mostly configured as EMS). I use TaskMAX constantly
to enable me to switch between WP51, Ventura, QuickVerse, PC Paintbrush,
ProComm, PCTools Desktop, et.al. I've never had trouble with "my keyboard,"
though. I find it very quick and trouble free. Maybe there's something
oneof us is missing...?

I do no what you mean abut S-L-O-W floppy access, but never connected it with
switching to DRDOS 6.0. Do YOU know the reason?

I loaded Windows 3.0 onto my machine--for about one day. I *was* really
pretty, but that about all I could see to recommend it. I guess I would
like to be able to operate my comm. software in a real multitasking envi-
ronment, but I'll find something else to make it happen.

I really think DRDOs is great, and won't lket go of it until something
*MUCH* better comes along!
