Hab mir grad mal für meine MS-DOS-Sammlung ein paar Bootdisketten für Partition Magic 8.0 erstellt und eingelagert. Funktioniert problemlos auf allerlei Konfigurationen!
Wer weiß, wofür man's nochmal braucht:

I've just done it only with mTCP and the Packet Driver. :0)
No Microsoft Network Client or Novell installed.
I run it this way:

@ElectricWill @Seraphyn People like to do this, because Microsoft isn‘t trustworthy. It has been a shady company and it is still one. #halloweenpapers #USVsMicrosoft #evilempire #netscape #drdos #predatorybehavior #antitrust #linux #appleMacintosh

#SvarDOS: DR-DOS is reborn as an open source operating system
https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2024/12/23/svardos_drdos_reborn/

Mein erstes Betriebssystem auf einem IBM-kompatiblen PC war übrigens DR DOS 3.41 - und ich bin dann auch bis DR DOS 6 dabei geblieben. MS DOS konnte mich nie wirklich überzeugen.
Nach DR DOS 6 stand für mich aber OS/2 im Fokus, und ich habe die weitere und verworrene Entwicklung von DR-DOS/OpenDOS 7.x unter Novell, Caldera, Lineo und DeviceLogics bzw. Udo Kuhnt (Enhanced DR-DOS) nicht mehr verfolgt.
Interessant war es für mich noch, DR DOS innerhalb von OS/2 zu verwenden, als virtuelle Maschine ("DOS von Diskette starten").

New binary release 20240914 of the EDR-DOS kernel is out. This release fixes a few boot and compatibility problems with original IBM-PC and with disks larger than 502 GiB.

I today released a new version of the EDR-DOS kernel and command interpreter.
We made progress in preventing the EDR kernel from accessing uninitialized partitions.
This is an interesting one: DR-DOS shipped with a FDISK program which initialzed partitions with a file system right away, without the user having to FORMAT it. But because of this, the DR-DOS kernel never implemented proper filesystem validation.
The whole thing falls apart when using the EDR kernel with Free FDISK and NOT formatting a partition. Curiously, the kernel could then access the non-existing filesystem. But not anymore...
You can get it at https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/releases/tag/r20240821

A little update on my DRDOS kernel project: I managed to produce a single-file version of the kernel. It normally consists of DRBIO.SYS and DRDOS.SYS.
The name of the combined kernel is KERNEL.SYS and supports the FreeDOS load protocol (have to sort out a few minor bugs though). This means that it can be installed with the same SYS command as the FreeDOS kernel.
1.44M floppy images and binaries may be found at:

#DRDOS - Braucht das jemand von Euch? 5.0 ist nicht mehr ganz aktuell. Aber vielleicht kann man unkompliziert auf 7.0 updaten.

Fantastic to see DRDOS development still happening with this idle development http://www.os2museum.com/wp/idle-dr-dos/

@12thRITS I remember that a measure of skill in computer businesses was whether you were able to confidently edit the autoexec.bat. Incidentally all our batch files were kept in the c:/Belfry.

CP/M is really open-source now https://retronic.us/cp-m-is-now-really-open-source/ Bryan Sparks, President of #DRDOS, clarified the license of CP/M: "Let this paragraph represent a right to use, distribute, modify, enhance, and otherwise make available in a nonexclusive manner CP/M and its derivatives.
