        Greetings and FWIW - I had FreeDos Beta9rc4 booting on a test
machine; Cyrix 600mHz- C3... It's fdisk designation is /dev/hda4,
just like DRDos7.03..

        FreeDos is, admittedly, still Beta as the above is the latest
available, when I d/l'd it a few weeks ago..

        I'm trying to find my exact notes for that machine but I
can't read my writing.. Ugh....

        Very interesting threads...
