EV>TW>My First MS-DOS Version was PC-DOS 2.x. Then I mover up to Compaq 3.3   
   EV>TW>becasue it cound see a 30 mag hard drive witrhout partitioning. From   
   EV>TW>there I mover int5o DR-DOS 5.x and then 6.x but was forced into MS-DOS   
   EV>TW>becasue of Microslimes dirty trick they pulled on DR. They shared teh   
   EV>TW>prel;ease code so DR-DOS woudl wiork with Windows 3.1 as I recall but   
   EV>TW>then made a change in the final release that made DR-DOS Incompatable.   
   EV>TW>DR quickly put out a patch utu it was to late, The damage was done   
   EV>TW>nd the aTrick killed then in the DOS business.   
      
      
   EV>At work the XT had ITT-DOS 2.11 with the manuals, so I tried some of the   
   EV>examples to learn DOS.   
      
   EV>I remember 3.3 having something to do with 30MB hard drives.   
   EV>That ITT XT came with a 10MB HD, I thought it was nicer that saving   
   EV>everything on floppy disks as I did at home with the C=64.   
      
   Teh First edition of DOS 3 only recognized 20 Meg Hard Drives. In those   
   days the 40 Meg Segate was popular and was divided into two 20 Meg   
   drives. Compaq with theri DOS 3.1 was factory modifies to recognice thye   
   40 as one drive. I liked that as my First DOS computer, a Home Built XT   
   clone  used a 30 Meg drive.   
      
   EV>I remember a bit of DR-DOS and NOVELL-DOS but went with MS-DOS5 when I   
   EV>had the compitable built in 1994.   
      
   I alkso migrated to the PC world form a Commodore, In my case the 128 as   
   I likes al the avialalble software, Most feww of inexpensive that was   
   avilable for the CPM side of the 128 because it was a Compatable CPM   
   version with the Osborne and Kaypro machines.
