Thanks in advance. Maybe what you are doing wrong is trying to install (IBM?) DOS 4.0 on an AMT 386 (clone?). As I understand it, to get DOS 4.0 to run real right on your machine you are supposed to get it from your vendor who has adapted DOS 4.0 to his machine using MS's binary adaption kit. In other words, get (AMT) DOS 4.0. Maybe (IBM) DOS 4.0 does run correctly on some clones, but it seems to run not real well on even IBM machines. Maybe it is better to wait for 4.01? In the meantime, it would be useful to compile a list of clones that (IBM) DOS 4.0 will run on while we wait for the the clone vendors to support it. So, has anyone had an experience with running (IBM) DOS 4.0 on an AST/286 Premium? Or does any know whether AST is going to support DOS 4.0 on its machines and when? ---steve rogers
