JR> Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Supposedly there was a modified DOS 2.5 version for the MicroNet that had a retry feature for when the SIO bus was in use by another computer. Does anyone know of an existing image of this DOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) It wasn't supposedly... it was real... The machines took turns using the daisy chained peripherals connected to the box.. the DOS had a damn near endless retry instead of time out and to keep a user able to load and then save without losing their turn to like 7 other people that might be trying to do something on the sio bus it also took like 5 seconds after that users last activity before the sio would release to someone else...... every school that used this also had an mpp printer buffer...for obvious reasons...
