Oh I see.

I'm not convinced there are enough MSDOS programs that do that which 
would run on the cbm2 anway. I only remember the Windows 95 beta version 
refusing to run on DR DOS.

The internal structures in dos plus cause problems for some dos 
applications, but you get cpm 86 compatibility and you can run z80em and 
have cpm 80 compatibility.
