I have attempted to install DOS 6.22 on a new MacBook under Parallels

My local Mac store says they can do it, so I'll take it to them, and
report back.

Needless to say, Parallels is not for the non-Tech savvy. I can't make
head or tail out of the manual or the online support.
I would recommend using any DOS but 6.22. CalderaDOS is, I believe, a
reissue and upgrade of Novell DOS 7, which is what TTG ran Xy on. If
you go with 6.22, be sure and have MemMaker rem'd out of the load
sequence (I forget whether it was in Autoexec.bat or Config.sys):
IIRC, that had major conflicts with Xy.
Do report. Is Parallels just Mac or can it virtualize another opsys on
Linux? My memory fails me on that.
