I have looked into only a few of what differences there are. DR-DOS 7.03 has some kind of special boot loader program that is not found in version 7.02. Also I found that when using BasicLinux on a ramdrive in a computer having DR-DOS 7.03 installed I could not mount the hard drive because BasicLinux doesn't recognize the file system type and it says that I must specify the file system type. (Steven explained later about how I might go about trying to specify the file system type, but I haven't tried it yet.) On another computer having DR-DOS 7.02 installed, BasicLinux automatically recognizes the file system type. I don't know if this quirk is due to differences in the version of DR-DOS or whether it is due to differences in the two machines such as bios type, hard drive type, or possibly other factors. The only way to tell for sure would be to reformat the hard drive using DR-DOS 7.02 and then install 7.02 and compare how the same machine behaves under 7.02.
