      yet another will 386BSD work on my system..but here goes..

	 I have a peculiar set up, this is a break down:

	A Comtrade 486DX2/66 (Ami Bios) with...
	Local Bus and EISA
	A Local Bus SCSI Adaptec Card with 2 scsi drives attached 
	A Diamond Stealth Local Bus Video card with S3 chipset
	16 megs of RAM
	(The SCSI card is a caching card with 2 megs of ram)
	256k cache and all that good stuff
	a Future Domain 8 bit card (Controlling a Texel 265ms CDRom)
	Sound Blaster Pro Card (Can I use this at all now?)

	Is it possible to also run DOS at the same time without destroying
the datat on 1 of my drives?  I'd like to keep my files, and be able to throw
a boot disk in so I can run DOS.  Thanks...
