By the way it is a real dos, much better than the m$dos6.22 that I started on. In fact the DR stands for Digital Research, the company founded by Gary Kildall,'I hope I have spelled his name right' who came up with CP\M and the original Disk Operating System and who got ripped off by Tom Patterson, and then ultimately bigtime by bill gates. It's a tragic story of brilliant innovator and inventor crushed by a thief and conman disguised as shrewd businessman. But thanks for your help, my disks work now, and that's basically all I really needed, if I need to replace them I'll boot from a m$dos floppy.
