- Greetings!
-
- I am an experienced MS-DOS user (no flames please!). I have used MAC
- applications in the lab where I work. As I approach finishing my thesis and
- my impending departure from this environment, I am interested in getting a MAC
- of my own.
-
- I have a couple of questions that I hope someone out there can help
- me with.
-
- First, has anyone loaded a DOS operating system onto a Quadra? If so,
- what programs did you use?
-
- Secondly, I guess the first question should have been CAN you load a
- DOS operating system onto a Quandra? {I know the literature says so, but...}
-
- If anyone out there has tried to use DOS programs on their MAC's,
- I'd be interested to hear about your experiences and comments. I know, I know -
- why would anyone WANT to run DOS app's, right? Well, this cowboy does. I've
- spent too much money on equipment and programs to give up on DOS {My 286 cost
- me way more than what 486's are costing now} From what I've read and heard, a
- Quadra sounds like I could get the best of both worlds.
-
- Thanks in advance for your comments.
