If you need to pirate Windows 3.1, you've been punished enough already I think.

The cd that had my copies of Win 3.1 and DOS stopped working about a year ago

holy cow why would you ever want to even contemplate messing with win 3.1 when you could probably piece together a junky computer that could at least run '98 for around a hundred dollars, or maybe less.

Wow. Even on a 386DX40, if you have at least 16MB of RAM, run Win95 or something.

 

[Stumps]

nah it only has 8mb of ram, i do have win95 on disks but this is just a resto of an old osborne computer, really just a curiosity thing

 

[randomlinh]

wow... just... why rather... WHY!!!!

 

[amol]

Wow.

You do know that was like . . .

12 years ago or something . . .

Weird. I didn't even know ms-dos7 was available by itself.

I had to support a windows 3.1 system that provided a critical warnings system (really critical) and the software was made by a company that went under. No equivalent existed unless they wanted to spend like 20k.

Just for reference, I have a fully working copy of Win3.1 OEM edition. Longest lasting floppies ever known to mankind. I should probably CD-ize it for archival, though.

I do and it was brutal. Three days after it was release I finally got it installed. Didn't want to be one of those people in line to get a copy at midnight, so waited until next morning. But trying to install it took 2 days.

has anyone run win3.1 on a P4 (or AMD equivalent)?

Eww, the wild world of DOS. I bet you won't see whole lot of the hourglass.
