Yep, even REAL/32 still had CP/M-86 app support. When they added FAT32 support, they still had to support FCBs for these apps, making DOS FCB support almost free (unlike MS-DOS which ditched FCB support almost completely with FAT32!).

Sorry, pushed comment to soon. I don’t have the box or the user guides, and there were several updates and patches I downloaded from Compuserve. Also, the version was 5.1, not 7.1.

A previous office ran Novell MultiuserDOS 7.1. We ran the OS on a then top of the line 486 PC compatible, and had serial terminals connected to a Digiboard PC/X.

We ran a terminal emulator in Windows, and ran a DOS programs (WordStar 7.0 & WordPerfect & Timeslips DOS.) Multiuser DOS would essentially open a “DOS session” for each terminal and an instance of whatever DOS program. The OS would also run CP/M-86 software, and the senior partner insisted on running WordStar CP/M on a Televideo terminal. Users could share the “C:\” drive, but there was also built in Netware support, and each user could access a share drive, in our case, a Netware emulator on a Linux box. The share drive was also then available to other machines, using other network protocols. The OS was very stable and reliable.

You need a standard IBM compatible PC. You also need Multiuser DOS. Version 7.0 required a dongle. 7.1 did not. I have the set of 5.25″ floppies and the dongle.

You got me to dig out my qemu and 386-dos disk images. I am able to boot the floppy but I cannot seem to get it to install – have you had any luck with installing the 1987 version in anything?
