Rumor has it that Richard Erlacher may have mentioned these words:
>I know what you mean. I've made the shift from DOS 6.20 to 6.22 a couple of
>itmes. What, by the way, is DOS 6.3?
IBM marketed a PC-DOS 6.3 with Stacker and some other stuff, IIRC.
Personally, for the boot stuff, I'd just stick to a boot floppy... boot the
computer from your PC-DOS disk 1, and if it goes into a setup routine, hit
<F3> (well, for MS-DOS... not sure if it's different with IBM's stuff) and
when you get to the dos prompt, if you have two floppies, put a floppy in
your B: and do a:
format b: /s (to put the system on.)
If you don't have 2 floppies, issue that command anyway. With a 1 floppy
system, you have a *virtual* B: and the system will automatically ask you
for source and destination disks when it wants you to swap them.

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
