i never used the very early versions except to ensure the clone i was about
to buy would emulate all of the IBM BIOS/SYSTEM commands. if it would run
FS, you could be pretty sure it would run all of the other software for the
IBM.
FS98 was our entry into this hobby. We have had a computer since the first
Commodore "PET" with the 6502 processor. Then migrated to the "Kaypro" with
the CPM operating system and then into the IBM clones.
Yes, we are 2X30 and having a ball not working or even thinking about
working again for money!

Hope you less then 30 folks get all the breaks and fun that we have had.
