DR-DOS 7.0? now has the enhanced capability of addressing FAT32 drives
and larger partitions.
I use DR-DOS almost exlcusively with my olde worlde laptop as well as
perhaps about 40% of the time with my Psion Revo PDA running a DOS
emulator.
You can also run any flavour of DOS on the latest Nokai 9210/20 mobile
phones and port programs and files from Psion PDA's to them as well.
