COMPAQ DOS 3.31 is often found on old COMPAQ 286's and 8088's.  Vendors
at flea markets trying to sell these old COMPAQ PC's frequently have also
the original installation disks and the manual.  I have found that COMPAQ
DOS 3.31 works just as well on an IBM clone.

A discovery I have made with DOS 3.31 is that a 286 machine running that
DOS version can load the drivers that will enable an external IOMEGA
ZIP drive.  With just DOS 3.30, I can't load the drivers for the ZIP drive.
