Small mistake.. was MSDOS 6.20. :)

Extra info: Host kernel is 2.2.19 (custom build) on an AMD K6-2/450.
If it's any help this crash didn't occur with the other tarball on the FTP
site, nor with the latest Bochs (bugfix-2) build.

Another annoying issue I've found which affects Plex86 and Bochs is that it
never sees you let go of the Shift and Ctrl keys...

also.. the EGA and VGA displays are screwed up a bit (Bochs only) in Passport
Software's (ancient) SCORE program. The Acorn PC Emulator (emulates an 8086
or 80188 depending what you ask) and Plex86-0428a get it right. (Sorry if
this is off-topic)
