MS-DOS Dos 2.1 has no problem handling a 20Meg Hard-drive. I bought a 20Meg Computer-Memories drive from Qubie and it works just fine. You simply use the supplied FDISK and partition the entire disk. THEN you format it (that is, you format it after you partition it) However, Dos 2.X does have a problem. It can't deal with disk errors above the 16Meg mark.... it freezes up. Certainly I could be wrong, but I doubt DIR would say '21233664' bytes free' if it wasn't a 20Meg drive. As far as 3.X goes, I myself am going to wait a short while, about a year, before getting it. I've heard many people complain that it's full of bugs. Have any of you had problems with it? -Matt
