Solve : Need Ms-Dos 6.22 on floppies?

Answer»

Hi all,
Looking for a source to GET MS-Dos 6.22 on 1.44Mb floppies. I already have downloaded the 2.5MB setup.exe file, but need to put on floppies.

I'm restoring an old 486/33 computer NEEDED for our manufcture use.

Thanks

Ebay is a good (and legal) source. Also Amazon. I hope that is what you wanted to know, because to give any other information than that would be to encourage piracy and breach of copyright, which is against the policy of this forum.

If you have downloaded an illegal copy of a Microsoft product, then we cannot help you.


Let me check - among my older items I think I still have genuine disks for Win 3.11, and DOS 5 and 6.22.

I'll check and get back.Posting again so as to attach some pics I had .......

DOS 6.22, IBM 5 and Win 3.11

I also have a mass of other old floppies like Lotus ... can't bring myself to trash them!

I thought tho these floppies might have been of some use?! Like - 1.4 mb floppies!

Thus avoiding the problem of the .exe you mention.Quote from: ChrisXPPro on September 04, 2008, 02:31:02 PM

the free download from microsoft is likely the 6.22 "Step-up" installer, which UPDATES DOS 6 to DOS 6.22.

One alternative you might want to explore is FreeDOS



ChrisXPPro, please don't tell me you had those pictures filed away under "family"

P.S: I probably would have.Quote

Hahaha - well could well have been LOL! The "Grand PARENT's folder"

In fact I took pics of some floppy sets because I was gonna put them on ebay! I don't need to keep all my floppy stuff but sure do not want to just trash em all.Looking at the FreeDos it appears to require a CD or other DEVICE to install.
The poor old machine I'm working with has only 1.4 mb floppy.
