DR-DOS 8.1 piracy :-( (Announce)

Highly illegal

IIRC the last usable version of DR-DOS is 7.03 (no FAT32, no LBA).

7.04 and 7.05 is crap (but legal at least ?)

8.0 is bad, and contains code stolen from King Udo's EDR-DOS, but nobody noticed ...

8.1 is hardest-core piracy, contains Udo's code as well as various 3rd party utils, including, but not limited to, those from FreeDOS, claiming all this to be "DR-DOS INC"'s achievement ... This time all the piracy got noticed very quickly so DR-DOS 8.1 was dropped and 8.0 followed soon

Keep away from any DR-DOS above 7.03

I consider single-tasking as a crucial feature of DOS
