Real mode DOS back in Windows ME-----

Here is a patch (unsupported, of course): http://www.geocities.com/mfd4life_2000/. This patch enables DOS mode straight from boot via the F8 key. All instructions are included in the ZIP file. Another, somewhat more full-featured  solution can be found at Overclockers.com.au. It also includes options to disable the PC Health and System Restore functions of Windows Me.
