I just recieved a PG 685, and I played around with it. Then, when I typed in 'DOS' and pressed return, the PG loaded DOS v3.3. And now when I start it up, it automatically starts DOS, when earlier it started S5 DOS.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Anven11,

please try
   S5

if this doesn't help try
  PCPM

At least that's my experience based on PG750 dual boot MS-DOS and PCP/M ...

Good luck

Hi Anven11,
try to type HDPARTY in commandline. There you can choose the partition. CP/M 86 or DOS. My PG 685 have MS-DOS Ver. 2.11 and CP/M 86 Ver. 2.0/2 b. In HDPARTY you choose the active partition and then restart your PG. And with little bit of luck it starts in this Partition grin

Hope it works!
