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.

Ulf.
