- I am using PC/DACS for OS/2 with 2.0 and so far no problems with
- software conflicts of any kind. We have it on a model 90 with
- Lan Server Entry, DCC/2, and Comm Manager running. The install
- is easy and flawless and you can password protect your boot disk
- so even if someone uses that they have to know the password. If
- you boot with just any old disk you have access to drive A and
- that is it. You get the DEVICE NOT FOUND error. If you lose
- or damage your boot disk you can disable boot protection (assuming
- you can access the hard drive) and then create another when you
- re-enable boot protection. I have not tried booting from A and
- using the PC/DACS install isks to try to access the system, but,
- I suspect it won't work.
