That machine was way ahead of its time and far better than the IBM PC. It taught me the important lesson that "the best technology doesn't always win."<br /><br />I also spent many happy hours porting DOS to the 9000, making command.com load high, chaining memory arenas for 896K total RAM, etc. Whee!Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494992335168979137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876472745480454285.post-86674255348327386752012-11-09T00:25:26.846-08:002012-11-09T00:25:26.846-08:00Excellent blog here! also your internet site lots ...Excellent blog here! also your internet site lots up fast!

In fact, Tim Paterson assures us that was done in DOS 2.0.<br /><br />So yeah, Tim Paterson says the 9-sector format was introduced in DOS 2.0.os2museumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846199164202678540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876472745480454285.post-57271831267219444682011-09-08T02:07:42.202-07:002011-09-08T02:07:42.202-07:00This is a better-quality article as they all are. ...This is a better-quality article as they all are.
