I agree. I like the option of using the task switcher without the shell.
Point for DRDOS. But today I've hit a little snag. Trying to
run DRDOS on this #@$%! 286 and the task switcher cuts my COM1 connection
when I go to another application. DOS 5 never did this.
Anyone else had this problem?
Is there a fix for this?
