Is there a better way to do the switch? (other than using : floppy boot for DOS?) The two most popular boot managers are OS-BS and BOOTEASY. I personally use OS-BS and it works great! If you need to boot from a second drive you'll have to use BOOTEASY. Some people have mentioned fooling around with the OS/2 boot manager, but I could not get it to work. : Thanks for any info. : -jp Dave Colbey uddc@pool.sunyit.edu
