Fat 16, stacker obviously won&#039;t work correctly with Fat32.  This is Stacker for OS/2 4.0 I never saw any updates/patches unlike the strictly MS-DOS version.

I bought 4.0 for my BBS originally thinking that compressing the text section would be a &#039;cool thing&#039;.  But it ended up creating far more hassles for me, so I gave up.  That and my OS/2 install is on HPFS, so the added complexity of the drivers more disks, and ore drive letters ended up giving me a rather unstable system.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Do you recall if this FreeDOS was on a FAT16 or FAT32 partition?  Stacker 4, 4.02, or 4.12?  It looks like your chose a ~1GB drive in VMWare.]]></description>

yeah I&#039;ve found using himem.sys makes it play happier... although so many emulators can&#039;t run emm386.exe properly.

but in all fairness, memory management of the era was a freaking nightmare anyways.]]></description>

I intend to use it as a terminal emulator.  Probably for block-mode stuff...at least until my VT340 works.]]></description>

Hard to say.  I don&#039;t even know what I&#039;d do with an XT in 2014.  There is that CGA video thing though...]]></description>

The IBM iMac.  Damn IBM screwed that up.  I had a PS/1 for a while, it looked cool but it couldn&#039;t even run OS/2.. and expandibility was so limited, it really wasn&#039;t very useful as a 386sx.]]></description>

It&#039;s an 8086-all-in-one with 8-bit ISA, doubt it. ;)

Thing was free though, so no complaints!]]></description>
