TW>Teh First edition of DOS 3 only recognized 20 Meg Hard Drives. In those
TW>days the 40 Meg Segate was popular and was divided into two 20 Meg
TW>drives. Compaq with theri DOS 3.1 was factory modifies to recognice thye
TW>40 as one drive. I liked that as my First DOS computer, a Home Built XT
TW>clone  used a 30 Meg drive.

Tom,

I waited longer than you did to get my own ibm compatible Personal
Computer.

At work the XT was 2.11, then I think there was a 286 Zenith but can''t
think what dos version it used, all I can remember about that box is it
was slower giving its results than the XT was.

I think next came a Dell 386 with 3.3? and Windows3.1 in it, and it was
still in use when I left the place in 1996 I think.

TW>EV>I remember a bit of DR-DOS and NOVELL-DOS but went with MS-DOS5 when I
TW>EV>had the compitable built in 1994.

TW>I alkso migrated to the PC world form a Commodore, In my case the 128 as
TW>I likes al the avialalble software, Most feww of inexpensive that was
TW>avilable for the CPM side of the 128 because it was a Compatable CPM
TW>version with the Osborne and Kaypro machines.

I almost bought a C=128(D?) at a Thrift Store but they marked each of
the two pieces with a price higher than I would want to pay for a one
piece C=128.

I have met folks with C=128's and the 1571 drives but always was
satisfied with the C=64 and didn't want to upset the apple cart before I
could hint about wanting a 486DX33 ibm compatible pc.  ;-)
