Hi Sam,
I have run both MS-DOS6.2 and WIN95 on the same
computer but not at the same time. It has been a while
since I did it but IIRC I had to switch system files
and change paths. When I started messing with system
files I eventually locked things up and had to perform
some kind of shenanigans with NU from Norton in order
to get MS-DOS6.2 working again without losing all my
data. I had to totally re-install MS-DOS from scratch.
I was probably also running dblspace which complicated
the situation. I think you can install WIN95 on harddisk.
Then transfer all MS-DOS files to c:\dos directory.
Then if you boot MS-DOS from floppy with the proper PATH
pointing to c:\dos, you should be able to run in MS-DOS.
This should not disturb the WIN95 setup.
