   GM Tom,   
      
   You might be surprised, the C= FDD still reads my old 5.25" disks.   
   Some of those are older than IBM DOS 3.3 and DR DOS 5.0 .   
      
   I can't check out my MS DOS 5.0 5.25" software on the 486 right now.   
      
   I need to put the old 16-Bit ISA Controller Card I took out when I put   
   the SIIG Fast EIDE VESA-Local Bus 32-Bit Controller Card in the box   
   back in May 1999 because the last time I turned it on it wouldn't BOOT.   
      
   ... If my computers didn't drive me crazy i'd be insane.
