- I solved my problem by switching the a: and b: drives and then booting DRDOS.
- It seems that in my case DR-DOS is more compatible with "dos" than is MS-DOS.
- I would still like to know why OS/2 can not make image files from the b:??

- It is nice being able to put the audio cd player program in the background
- and listen to the Led Zep boxed set while doing other not so useful tasks.
