nuqneH,

here is (incomplete) list of bugs i encounter.

1. Taskmgr is totally confused (hangs) on dual monitor (hgc+vga) system.
2. Mountable filesystems (join-like) are limited to be subdirectories
   of root only - it was "join" command limitation on ms-dos that could
   be easy bypassed by third-party utilities like "pcmount" but for
   OpenDOS it is kernel limitation that could not be bypassed at all
   (or seems to be)
3. Hyperdisk works incorrectly with floppies - sometimes,i was forced
   to replace it with nwcache which gives me less performance. It seems
   to cause problems to "setup" program also.
4. chkdsk seems to be unable to detect mounted filesystems. it is
   minor bug (or feature?) that did not cause problems,but.. msdos
   chkdsk worked the different way.
5. diskopt hangs if mounted filesystems exist.
6. RX50 diskette driver. Weird screen writes when accessing the disk
   (RX50 is SS/QD diskette format used on DEC Rainbow,DECmate etc)
7. QEMM's loadhi causes exception 13 on some machines (not mine so i
   still could not locate the problem)
8. Random exception 13's and (rare) sharing violations. Still trying
   to figure out WHEN does it happen..
