True, DOS 6 can run on an XT, but it uses a big chunk of the system's
resources.  The PC may not have enough RAM left to run any applications
once DOS is done.... even after MemMaker "massages" things.

One other point to remember.  Even though DOS 3 is an antique, it
is still copyrighted and licensed software -- not freeware.
