I have problems with IBM PS/2 model 55 SX using PC-DOS 3.3. In the hard disk there is OS/2 1.1 EE. When I start the computer from floppy disk with PC-DOS it does not recognize hard disk driver C: and D:. When I try to go drive C or D, DOS says: "Invalid drive specification". I need the original DOS because there is not enough free memory ( only 480 kB)in OS/2 DOS-box. I need free memory little over 500 kB. Is there any possibilities to have more memory in OS/2 DOS-box? Why I cannot use hard disk when I start the computer from diskette? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Juha Villikka E-mail: Internet: villikka@kannel.lut.fi --------------------------------------------------------------------
