Great thanks for the links!  I thought those links had gone extinct
quite some time ago.  I am going to pick up a Focus Hard Drive and it
says they can send a copy of FocusDos with the order.  I hope this is
still current! = ))

     I knew that Corvus and Sider drives would do DoS 3.3 but have had
ZERO luck finding one.  Plus I remember my old Corvus and it was
pretty unstable when I had it when it was new! hehe

     I had also considered DOS 3.3 Launcher but I read it runs
applications but doesn't work when applications have to do a lot of
disk access / saving.  Does FocusDos run just like DOS 3.3 or does it
have limitations like DOS 3.3 Launcher?

Thanks much for the help!
