Would this then make all my 2.2 disks including hard disk compatible and useableby 3.0? I don't see very much activity on this subject and I wonder if there isno interest or if the compatibilty problems aren't as severe as I imagine them to be. The only two things that I am aware of (without hitting the books too hard) is that direct calls to the bios are not supported by 3.0 and that the directory can look different from 2.2 if so optioned. I am beginning to have second thoughts about installing 3.0 for those reasons and "primarily" because I have fallen in love with zcpr2. Is there a "real" advantage to 3.0 or not?
