If you need IDE drives, I have stacks of them, (one of the things I was
able to rescue during our recent forced move). They're all different
sizes, but I'd be willing to send you a box of them for the cost of
shipping if you want them, since I no longer have any machines that can
use them, (those were lost in the move).

I'm not sure if I still have it, but I used to have an ide hard drive
caddy buried somewhere. I might see if I can dig that out, as I have a
few ide drives lying around.

Hi John
Fun with someone using a real machine, I am using an IBM 100DX4
running, Freedos, DrDos and DSL (Damn Small Linux) all on three
compact flash drives.
I would try File Wizard and its internal editor,
https://dos.retro.software/downloads/download/290-file-managers/1467-file-wizard-1-35,
like using Norton commander but better.
What kind of 486 do you run ?

I'm also tempted to dig out another old drive, install
windows 3.11 and try Microsoft Office 4.3 as I've never
used that before.

Hi!
You can use FreeDOS edit, but don't use for big
files... can't handle 2968 lines

even bothering with wordperfect. I only need a
basic text editor. I'm not interested in spell
check, as I'll do that on the editing machine, so
bringing it down to the minimum, freedos and
whatever text editor is included would actually
do the job nicely.

What do *you* really need from FreeDOS to run WP?
Probably just the BASE packages.
Or maybe the kernel + FreeCOM only.
You may also want to look at SvarDOS' floppy
images:
http://www.svardos.org/?p=files&dir=20220314
<http://www.svardos.org/?p=files&dir=20220314>
SvarDOS is based on FreeDOS, but kernel is
currently still from FD 1.2,
IIRC.
Cheers,
Robert
