I'm not familiar with PC-DOS, but all versions of MS-DOS up through 6.22
run great on 1MB. Even 640K. Anything more than that is just for

| (...) True. But with a 640k MSDOS machine, anything more than wp5.1 is taxing. With a 4 meg, 386sx/16 Linux machine, you can be fully connected to the internet, as a server, bridge, router, or brouter, even, without much trouble. Jasper (26 years ago, 8-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
