DOS is not multitasking unless you have extenders and DOS in real segmented model. Protected mode was implemented in WIndows 3.x. I just want to read about the real mode flat model | |

The virtual disk (VDISK) driver used extended mode. The other answers include some of this and the real mode flat model stuff. I was just trying to include some examples for 286 protected mode. | |
