I have still one machine at home with FreeBSD and Dos on it. Even a 1.6 GB Dos Partition on the second drive. The systems runs right now 2.1.6R, but I was thinking about going to -current on it. Esp. after I needed something from the 1.6GB partition and even better knowledge I mounted the partition from FreeBSD. Now the system is crashed while I am thousands of miles away and that for another week. Can only hope nothing was damaged on the disk *grin* But I would be able to test DOSFS improvements or I would maybe even help providing a better DOSFS.
