I see. I always configured systems manually.

I'd like to try that, but haven't found a good command line argument reference for QEMM yet.

C:\DRDOS\SYS.COM C:\DRDOS C:

If DR-DOS is more lenient about what its utilities run under, then that might be doable. I know MS-DOS loves throwing "Incorrect MS-DOS Version", so you wouldn't be able to, for example, use DOS 6.22 SYS.COM or FORMAT.COM while running 6.20 in an attempt to upgrade.

Well, depends on your definition of "very old computers". But if somebody thinks this is better suited in another section, feel free to move it.
