The interest in PC-DOS 7.1 (as with MS-DOS 7.1) is the support for FAT32 and LBA. The most free conventional memory I have achieved was using DR-DOS 7.02/7.03, however that didn't include FAT32 and LBA support. There is an enhanced version of DR-DOS 7.01 that does (see http://www.drdosprojects.de/) but there will be some memory penalty in so doing. If you experiment with this and with PC-DOS 7.1, I'm sure we here would be interested in hearing your results.
