Hi,

I have installed OpenDOS on my P120 but I got some weird things due to
the installation program.
1. Creating bootfloppies can only be done, default, at drive A:, in my
system this still is a 1.2MB floppy it would be nice when this option
gave the possibility to choose which drive.
2. Installation changes the config.sys and autoexec.bat. No problem with
that but it is adding things that were not in there and change the
behaviour of the system. E.g. it added the EMM386. Due to a program,
default loaded in the config.sys, which is having a conflict with
emm386, I lost my CMOS. OK I had to check the config and autoexec first.
But you know how  it goes, just installed and afterwards a fast reboot
to see what happens. Grr. May be a better check could be added to the
installation program so these things would not happen.

Finally it worked without any problems, I've tried it with several
'dirty' protected mode programs. No problem at all.

It's a nice piece of software.

Ben
