Isn't 4G going to be two drives under DOS anyway? Install PTS on the
first, make a boot image for PC 2000 on the second. PTS allows multiple
configs, and one choice is to reboot from a bootable image that is not
PTS-DOS. Boot Wizard is *not* required for this; it's a part of PTS-DOS
itself. ;')

PTS-DOS, then, definitely! I don't see how 4G is limited, tho. I'm quite
happy with 85M, even with large directories *copied* to archive. My real
archives are just starting to grow, though.

Do work? Another vote for PTS. To be honest, I haven't seen PC-2000, but
I suspect that most people would prefer it to PTS-DOS. From your posts,
I also suspect *you* would prefer PTS. You're the judge of that; I still
suggest taking the time to try them both.
A PC-DOS 2000 user should chime in here to help you out. Certainly no
danger of a flame fest or OS war from me; I don't believe in it.
