WD is plain old goofy. It has had a "slightly unstable" reputation
under DOS for over ten years. You could be seeing nothing more than the
OS memory image having different byte values at a particular
location(s), or slightly varied free memory values, or an internal
operation delta which isn't part of the DOS documented interface.
Or WD could be unhappy with the memory drivers. Check with and without
HIMEM and EMM386 or try Microsoft versions of same under FreeDOS, see if
it makes any difference.
I think maybe you misunderstood what I said. I can't test "with and
without HIMEM and EMM386" because the problems with WD only occur when
using FreeCOM (not FreeDOS, i.e. the kernel) on Win98. There are no
problems when using any of the following combinations:
- Microsoft COMMAND.COM on Win98
- Microsoft COMMAND.COM on MS-DOS (the version shipped with Win98)
- FreeCOM on FreeDOS
