Interesting... I bought DR DOS 5.0 this past summer, because the feature
list was impressive, and I needed better security for commercial 
communications installations.

I installed it on an existing MS-DOS 4.01 system (Adaptec SCSI bus,
Miniscribe 110mb disk) - the process took about 10 minutes, no data was
lost, and it's worked flawlessly since.

After playing with it for about a month, I began offering it as the
'first choice' o/s for my commercial sales, and have installed several
systems similar to mine with no difficulties either during installation
or afterwards.

I would like to know more about the systems where serious problems have
been encountered - maybe we can figure out what's causing the bumps :-)
