And I can confirm that it does work on DOS 3.30. I wasn't aware that it had that sort of history, but such are things.

Wow, I got my start along the regular desktop market with one. And their 80286 version as well. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
