[nos-bbs] Help With JNOS on DOS

[Jose Angel Amador Fundora]

I am afraid that the problem is the handling of basic devices, that must 
be done thru the OS, and not directly like MSDOS, until Win98, did.

A few years ago I saw and tried mostly as a curiosity a Windows version 
of JNOS, and it did work on XP.  But I have done no serious operation 
with it.

I had a good experience with MSDOS and Linux, but the newer Windows OS 
impose different requirements.

So, for my "taste" and previous experiences,  the choice is MSDOS 6.22 
or MSDOS 7 as OS, or looking for the WIndows XP version of JNOS.
For real serious operation I reccomend Linux.

73,

Jose, CO2JA
