Is there anywhere a 1986-WANG-Professional-Computer-Wizard who can tell me
how to boot MS-DOS 3.3 from the HardDisc of this DOS-emulating machine?

The "Wang Professional Computer" has
8086 CPU
640 KB Ram
32 KB Grafik-Ram and 
a 20 MB HD devided in 2 Partitions. 
It is no real DOS-Box but it can emulate BIOS/MSDOS.

The first of the HD-Partitions (400KB) seems to be Wang-specific and obviously 
it is the only Partition to boot from.
The only way I know to switch to the second partition (19.6 MB) is to use
a program called "loadibm", which boots from a MS-DOS system-disk in 
DiskDrive A and then switches to the second partition.

How can I use the second partition under MS-DOS without having to boot from
discette?

Please post replies or E-Mail to giese@rhein.informatik.uni-kl.de

Many thanks in advance
