Hi, Gentlemen/Ladies, as applicable (I HATE "Political Correctness", so I exaggerate it to mock it).
I've been a spectator, so to speak, on SURVPC for quite a while. My "guru" gave me the address when I told him I was looking for as much information as I could get for using my computers without putting !@#$%^& Windows in my rigs. He gave me this one, along with Nettamer and Pegasus, which latter I am using in DOS version. Sometimes what I find is helpful, sometimes not, and on some of the addresses, a lot of it's beyond my understanding. However, I have been noticing lately that there has been some conversation (I guess that's what it would be called) concerning multiple OS's. I may not understand what is being discussed, but I run MS-DOS, PC-DOS, (occasionally W/3.11 if I can't do it yet in LINUX) and LINUX on my office machine, which I'm using now. At home, my wife, who needs W/98 for her client base, has access as well, and there we have MS-DOS, PC-DOS and LINUX for me, W/98 and another MS-DOS for her, all running compatibly with a selection menu at boot-up. The program that accomplishes it with ease, once installed, is called System Commander, by V-Communications. The program has a so-called "Wizard" which usually solves the problems with respect to the precise addresses of the OS's, but their support is excellent, and they walked us easily through the one problem we did encounter. Incidentally, this is all accomplished with a single hard drive. Multiple hard drives make multiplying OS's even simpler, but with us it wasn't necessary. My reason originally for getting System Commander had to do with the incompatibility of ZIP drives and LS-120 drives. So rather than try to do something complicated, I simply run the ZIP drive (external) under DR-DOS, and the LS-120 (internal) under MS-DOS. There may be some reason that would make this suggestion unacceptable, if so, bear with me, but I have never seen it discussed on the Digest in the many months that I have been reading the entries.
