> 1992 - 1993. Used fdisk from dos 6.20 and 6.22 and the BIOS driver.
> Started out wih 20MB and now have 504. This is a 1.7 GB drive. It is
> installed as a D: (slave) drive. Startup is a Western Digital 400 MB w/
> dos 6.20. Win 3.1 with Norton desktop (which I forgot how to kill, tired
> the win.ini and the system.ini??)
> Lets see, what else, 8MB RAM, Soundblaster card, MS Mouse driver. Tried
