Hi Christoph, hi Daniel,

If this NCR 3115 Safari Pentop is reasonably compatible
with the standard PC architecture, DR-DOS will, of
course, work on this machine. However, DR-DOS does
not by itself provide any kind of PenDOS drivers.
You should be able to run the PC DOS PenDOS
drivers on DR-DOS without problems if you want
to try this setup (if you´re heading problems, please
tell me about them). Since PC DOS 7 is quite old,
I would suggest to have a look at IBM´s PC DOS 2000
instead (which represents PC DOS 7 revision 1).
Maybe it comes with the newer PenDOS driver you
are looking for, otherwise I would ask IBM for assistance.

Good luck.

 Matthias
