Poll: When was the last time you booted into DOS?

[UNCjigga]

Not the DOS that came with Windows 9x/NT/200x/ME/XP. But the real honest-to-goodness DOS. DOS 6.22 or below! I was just upgrading my BIOS and I couldn't find my Win98 boot disk so I was about to snag one at bootdisk.com when I thought about getting a DOS 6.x one instead! Just flashed the BIOS with no probs.

So when was your last adventure in DOS?

I voted, "A few days ago," but it wasn't my rig

I liked DOS. It was nice.

Heh...park=fun stuff when you don't want someone using the computer! Y'all remember good ol' edlin before DOS 5.0 replaced that POS??? And y'all thought doin html in notepad was hardcore...

I had to boot from it on a floppy to update the firmware on a raid controller yesterday.

It has to have been at least 5 years. Ah, using boot disks to run certain games. Those were the days.

Since I'm a server admin, I have a lot of Netware servers. (luckily NW6) Tonight I applied SP3 that released a week or so ago.....so I booted into DOS on like 10 servers. Netware uses DOS for initial boot and does it's bootstrap thing. I'm running Caldera DOS though...can't have MS-DOS on a Netware box...that would be a sin.

Ahh, true DOS? Man, it's been a while.. at least a couple of years. I haven't had the need to.
