- While killing time in a bookstore this weekend I saw a book
- put out by PC Magazine that was dealing with advanced memory
- management for MSDOS 5.0. (Sorry, but I can't remember the
- exact title.) The utility that I was really interested by
- was a driver that claimed to allow EMS on a plain ole 286
- (which is of great interest to me because that is what I am
- stuck with for the near future).
-
- My question for you DRDOS gurus is this: How compatible would
- this stuff be with DRDOS 6.0? It looked like it had a lot of
- really neat stuff, but are DRDOS and MSDOS similar enough that
- the stuff would work under DRDOS too?
-
- Since this is a relatively specific request, email responses
- would probably be best.
-
- Thank you in advance.
