You know what I don't see in your OS collection? Anything from Digital Research. I ran DRDOS 6.0 on a PC-XT. What was really cool about that on an XT class machine was: Even if you added only 1 MB of memory on an expanded memory card DRDOS would use some of that to back-fill the first 1 MB of memory, and then load a lot of the OS, drivers & TSR's into upper memory. AIRC I had 616 MB of conventional memory available on that machine when using an EMS card. That, in combination with the ability to task switch open applications really ramped up the level of functionality (not to mention speed) of a PC or XT class machine.

And a lot of other really useful things that DRDOS could do that were still nowhere in site with the somewhat regrettable releases of MSDOS 4 and 5.

Would you like disk images of the 360k install disks?
