That the Digital Research that made DR-DOS was the same DRI that made
CP/M. I read an article describing the history of CP/M and DR-DOS, and
now I want to run a DR-DOS VM for old time's sake.

I was one of those outliers that didn't run Windows in the early 90s. I
didn't have a lot of horsepower at home - when I had a local bus 486/50
with 16 MB of RAM at work, I had a 386SX/16 with 3 mb of RAM at home.

I ran DR-DOS and SuperStor (my co-sysop worked for Addstor and got comp
copies of each) and GEOWorks Ensemble. With DR-DOS' task switcher, it
was a pretty cool setup.

Outside of Geoworks, it was all Borland Sidekick, Qedit and Telix.
