> Where can I get the last Compatibility List?

I was working on a revision of this. Please see attached file.
Wanted to upload to freedos.org this weekend but of course
I never got around to it. :P

This list was sent to me by: Larry Barchett <ldb@nospam.pclsys82.dcrl.nd.edu>
I was preparing it for the web page, will be easier to maintain
once it is up.

> Any word on the new Alpha...?

I have made some progress on this too, on weekends.
I did not realize I am getting a week off for free
for the holidays, an excellent time to do this!

Bonus for new release: Nagy Daniel has promised to contribute source for
the Cute Mouse driver. Anyone used this under 0.92.0?

My system is a GRiD 1520 286. What other systems are people
using for FD test systems?
