Yeah, those were fun times.  I didn't have much chance to mess with DR-DOS at the time and didn't know much about it.  I thought it was pretty cool when MS-DOS 5 came out and had its new features, such as the ability to configure a boot menu in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT with different configuration options for different scenarios.  I think I read that was originally a feature in DR-DOS?

I never really had a chance to play with Geoworks either.
