- The newest version I know about is 4.53/3. The /3 simply means that the
- FREE SECTORS count is only 3 digits instead of 4. This allows better
- compatibility with software that illegally checks for the end of directory.
- Most of the improvements from 4.50 to 4.53 seemed to be cosmetic but there
- were also improvements in RAM/drive configuration and you could chain
- AUTORUN files. It has been a while since I have seriously used MyDOS though.
-
- I use SDX almost exclusively now, but MyDOS 4.53 is definitely my second choice,
- with SpartaDOS 3.2 being 3rd (and AtariDOS being a distant last :). I have
- just acquired a second hard-drive so I am going to attempt to format a
- partition in MyDOS (bootable). It should be interesting.
-
- I will attempt to upload this to the archives but it is rather trickey without
- FTP. But... We just got new software on our system that *should*
- automatically UUencode. I'll have to give it a try....
