Okay...the harddisk burned out, yet it still loads DOS and a graphic
shell? Isn't dosshell the one that DOS 5.00 and later included? I
suggest starting with at boot disk, and if that works move on to a hard
drive install, or a boot loader (I had trouble with a 8086 PS/2, so
testing off of floppy first might be wise). Good luck.
