[DSP-10] Computers, what are you using ??

[kd7ts]

I recently acquired an IBM "Thinkpad" which gave
me a little trouble figuring it out.... this got
me to wondering what others are using, DOS
versions, computers.. etc.

So far I have used MSDOS 5, MSDOS 6.22, MSDOS 7
and DRDOS 7.02. All have worked perfectly.

Computers used to date are Compaq 386-33, Generic
486 DX100 and a Custom P133 desktop.

Laptops : Quantex P233, Canon 200 LS 486DX4 100
AND IBM 775CX P75. 

The only problem encountered was with a dead
system battery ( the big expensive one) in the IBM
775CX. The machine kept trying to go into the
"hibernation mode", but was only cycling the
processor on and off leaving very little processor
time for the program, and very annoying beeps. 

Complete removal of the battery, and running on
the A/C supply cured the problem 100%.

Oh yes, one other thing.. the IBM likes to run
DOS7. Not sure what the difference is, but with
the other OS's there is an" E2 data lost" error
fairly often. With DOS7, no error. I think it has
to do with APM support not being available in the
other DOS's.

So any horror stories ?? Success stories ??
