As an additional point in favor of DRDOS 6.0 is the built-in ability to do
alternative system configurations at boot time, also the CHAIN statement
permits the CONFIG.SYS file to divert to any other file to continue
configuration.  And batch files are much closer to being a true language
with the support of subroutines and other goodies.
On the other hand, for some reason, I find it much easier to setup a MSDOS
5.0 emergency boot floppy.  Also, for some reason DRDOS 6.0 insists that my
B: drive is a 1.2meg 5.25 rather than the 720K 3.5 that it is.  I have to
use DRIVPARM to correct its impression of my system (I need to talk with
DRI one of these days...)
