- I never had good luck with MultiDOS. It crashed my machine constantly.
- (I have a 3000 which was running Amigados 2.04 at the time). MSH, on the
- other hand, worked flawlessly for me. Guess both pieces of software must
- have been flawed, each one probably conflicts with certain pieces of
- software. I didn't like the way MultiDOS sort of takes over the df0: device
- and substitutes its own version (puts an ugly "df0: BUSY" icon on the
- workbench, for example).
-
- The REAL solution is to get the Amigados 2.1 upgrade (or get a machine
- that runs 3.0), which contains CrossDos.
