- My girlfriend owns a dinsosaur of an IBM compatible. She purchased it
- in 1987 and has lost the manual for it. I opened it up to install a
- modem and it does have an Intel 8088 chip. So we are definatley
- talking XT compat.
-
- I wanted to uprgrade the DOS she's running to 4.01 from 3.09 but
- can't. She has one 5.25" drive and a 20meg internal hard drive. The
- installation always crashes (it just freezes) when I am propted to
- switch from the SELECT disk to back to the INSTALL disk. The manual
- says that 4.01 is supported by some XT systems--maybe this isn't one
- of them. Perhaps I have to monkey around with the SYS.CONFIG?
-
- CAN ANYONE OFFER ME ANY ADVICE?
