- I have a (seldom-used) dos of that sort. (PD) It works like it says. It is a
- ProDOS .SYS file that takes the place of BASIC.SYS and gives you four separate
- DOS 3.3 volumes, three of which are larger than "normal". The operation is
- transparent, and you can access any 5.25 disks with the system just the same.
- It also has pretty fast access! It is something of a bother to me, though, so
- I have stuck with 5.25".
