About five years later, in 1980.

Why the heck would you suggest a non-geek person, just trying to get their prior computer's state back, install a cr@p OS she may not even have and setup up the system as a dual-boot with separate partitions?

That was just plain clueless, djf. Why don't you tell her the best thing to do is dual boot Linux to get her back to “normal”? She didn't have Linux, either.

So she followed your instructions and got dual boot by accident, instead of by plan.
ME is the last OS where you can actually talk to the hardware.

The various INT’s work as they do in DOS mode.
