- Austin,
-
- I have no experience with 486's or drdos, but now many, many hours of using
- nb4 on a 386 with dos5. There are a few quirks, all I know have been worked
- through or around with the help of list members. All in all, nb4 is no less
- stable in the sense you mean than nb3.1 or the other programs I regularly use.
- The problems you describe appear to my electronic ear more likely artifacts of
- the data transfer process. Are you going from double to high density drives?
- Have you run a disk test program on the floppies ot "revived" with a program
- like Morton Utilties?
