Lol, talk about a distortion. You could only load a driver if one was
available for the version you had. *nix went on so much more hard ware
and worked with so much more equipment than S Dos and later stuff ever
did.
Are you sure that isn't you in your zealotry? You are so anyt-*nix
because of your inabilities, that it is amusing.

Well no, with UNIX you had to recompile to include the driver.
that might explain where you were going wrong. Unix or Linux?
In 1983? You work it out!
Stop nitpicking! His only mistakes were that he didn't say *which*
'unix', said 'unix' when he - apparently - meant 'Linux' and had the
timeframe off by 8 years, that's all!
No Frank, I first used Unix in 1974. I know how it worked initially and
why stuff was eventually built into the kernel. Modularity was key
point in Unix. Linux was just a later sideline.
So why post "Unix or Linux" when it's abundantly clear that it wasn't
Linux in that timeframe you goose.
Just making sure.
You only needed to recompile stuff if you changed stuff, like hardware,
And with MS-DOS you simply loaded a driver - no reason to recompile
stuff and that was an important difference as I said before.

You seem to think you know it all, and when it's clear that you don't
you shift the goalposts or engage in selective snipping in a desperate
attempt to cover up the evidence of your ignorance.
