So, now I'm hearing conflicting reports. Greg S. seems to indicate that TS-DOS doesn't interfere with use of the DVI drives, while Brian W. points to evidence that they don't work together and required workarounds. Now I wish I'd bought that DVI back at Tandy ASM so I could test it. :-/ I think one question to ask is "What's the procedure for copying a file from TPDD to DVI disk?". My total guess is that, using REX, it would be: 1. Activate REXMGR and TS-DOS 2. Copy file from TPDD to RAM using TS-DOS 3. Deactivate TS-DOS 4. Deactivate REXMGR 5. Boot DVI DOS 6. Copy file from RAM to DVI with the possibility that step 3 may not be required per Greg S.'s experience. -Josh
