[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1015752, member: 325666"] An easier way to get DOS or Win 3.1 in would be to enable the PD drive as 'bootable' .. As it would be seen before IDE .. Thus inserting a bootable OS PD cart would allow this OS to boot before any other.. Much like a live CD or DVD ...BUT ..with the advantage that it is writeable in real time ...unlike a standard CD.. The more I think about it ..the more it makes sense for such small operating systems using FAT.. [/QUOTE]
