Or in my understanding > of apples and oranges. The "apples and oranges factor" comes into play with the versions of DOS used for your 4 and 5 sec results vs my 3 sec. Note that my 3 sec. was on a P150, OpenDos v7.01 And your 4 and 5 sec. were on 486dx66mhz, IBMDOS 3.30 But.... with the same system running MSDOS 6.22 you got 7 sec. 150 / 66 = 2.27 2.27 * 3 sec = 6.81 sec (pretty close) ;-) So, I think we can still agree that Clarence seems to have found "the perfect Dos" for use on those older machines. :))) BTW, I can't get IBMDOS 3.30 to boot on my P150 ("divide overflow" error message is all that happens at boot-up) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/download.htm http://www.thispagecannotbedisplayed.com/
