It depends. If you WANT to run two computers at once, you can just
link them with a serial or parallel cable and send files back and
forth with standard utilities (hyperterm, for example, which comes
with a stock Windows installation). If you additionally choose to
exhibit your technological prowess, you might set up a LAN and let
your computers mount each others file systems.

If you're somewhat lazier, you might periodically write stuff onto
a cdrom and read it into the other system.

And if you've got just one computer, set it up to dual boot. Linux
can read and write your msdos/fat file systems just fine, so you
don't need duplicate copies of your data.

.... Do you think the best thing would be to run two
computers: one running on DOS (not Windows), for any DOS programs, then
another

running on Linux (or possibly Macintosh)? But it's going to make life very
difficult indeed if you want to more than occasionally transfer information
from

one to the other, or share files across them.
