I notice that the Toshiba flavour of MS-DOS 3.3 that came with my T1000XE is
missing a lot of the external commands. The manual has them all, but they're
not all on the ROM disk, and I didn't get any other disks or anything with it.
Was I supposed to get more? Where do I (legally) get the rest of my MS-DOS?

When I bought my T100XE, I also got 3 3.5" disks. One of these was an MS-DOS disk that had all of the external programs. You might want to check with the dealer who sold you the system if you didn't get any disks.... HuiLin Lim limhl@hpsgm2.sgp.hp.com

The rest of them come on a disk which is packaged with the computer. I simply created a directory on the hard disk, copied the remaining MS-DOS files into it, then put it in my path. If you didn't get MS-DOS 3.3 on disk with your machine (it comes on two 720K floppies), then you should probably call Toshiba. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics, Inc. portuesi@sgi.com "every now and then things become clear" -- jane siberry

When I got my T1000SE, it came with MS-DOS manuals and disks. (The MS-DOS disks and manuals had been OEM'd though by Toshiba.) I also got MultiSoft's PC PowerPak with the computer. I would guess that you should have received that too. --- glenn
