I got MSDOS 5 and installed it on my hard disk for my ATSpeed. After doing this, however, I could not reboot my ST...evidently the new DOS rewrites the FAT on the hard disk, or something like that (which I later read on an msdos newslist posting). I was able to install the DOS on a partition of my removable cartridge without affecting my ST boot partition...so, I'm actually not in such bad shape. If you have an IBM emulator, be careful installing DOS 5. I'm not sure what is actually going on, but I do know it caused me quite a bit of grief...If someone else knows what is going on, I'd be happy to hear about the details and to know if it is possible to have DOS 5 share a fixed disk with an ST boot partition on it. Until then, I will be leaving it on my removable ... I'd be interested to hear others' experiences. Gerry ggreenbe@rodan.acs.syr.edu
