DR DOS 5.0

[John Boffemmyer IV]

Actually, it WAS called DR DOS as it used to be 
owned by Caldera until 2003 (which was at one 
time part of Novell). It is now owned by SCO and, 
like most things SCO gets involved with, they 
take ownership, drive it into the ground and then 
abandon it like the group of a--holes they are. 
Last official DR DOS release was 7.03 by Caldera. 
SCO just wanted some of the pieces of it so they 
can make more of the "we have rights" B.S. claims 
that they make. SCO did absolutely nothing with 
it once it was purchased from Caldera. There are 
"unofficial" releases of DR DOS 7.04 and 7.05. 
They are part of Partition Magic, Western 
Digital, Quantum/Maxtor and Seagate/OnTrack 
Diagnostics. 7.03 would be the last and easiest 
to obtain. Versions .04 and .05 have pseudo-DOS 
FAT32 support, but it breaks certain basic DOS 
functionality and was actually customized from 
the .03 version for obvious specific purposes 
(drives larger than 80/120GB, etc).
