DOS 5.0



  DOS 5.0 comes with all the device drivers you need to tell RAM what
to do. The procedure is slightly different for 286 and 386/486
machines. With the latter, 5.0 allows you to put device drivers in high
RAM, freeing more of the lower six-forty for applications. I spent a
couple of hours last night with the manual, and I can tell you that for
the first time Microsoft has put out a DOS manual that doesn't require
the services of a translator to understand. This is really a giant
upgrade, not an incremental step forward.
