Re: [emax] DOS

2005-01-30 by pfoxsounds

Can't you just boot _any_ computer to _any_ version of DOS if you tell 
it to boot from the floppy drive, and have the DOS files on there? I 
guess then the problem is finding the old ver. of DOS for your floppy. 
\It _is_ called "Disk Operating System".... :)

But in that case, yes, you can use a computer that has XP on it, just 
don't boot it from your hard drive. Maybe if you know someone who has 
'98 on their system, you can have them create a bootable DOS disk for 
you....
