When Novell took over DR's code they dropped the concurrent and
multiuser versions of DRDOS. Several firms took up the baton and one of
them ended up with Real/32. It wasn't bad at all from the only time I
ever saw it, but, sadly, so far as I know, all of these
multiuser/multitasking derivatives of DRDOS are moribund in that they
aren't being sold any longer. Since they were bloody expensive (in DOS
terms) they may still be supported, but I've no idea what form that
support might take.
Cheap memory and hard disks, allied to the free BSD unix and Linux, cut
the ground from under them all. If solid multitasking, and even more so
multiuser access, is the name of the game, DOS isn't really a player. No
surprise, it was never intended to be.
You will stumble across the original DR versions dating from the late
eighties on obscure FTP sites, but, by the nature of these things, they
are "warez" and won't stay in one place very long. Frankly, they're no
more than a curiosity.
