Both machines have over 600KB conventional, even with Stacker running. Has anyone succeeded in retrofitting MS-DOS while retaining Stacker? I'm asking with respect to an industrial SBC with an XT architecture that'll take literally hours to unstack if that's the only way to retrofit without losing data or backing up the drive. Thanks!
