It's not a boot disk and there's no setup program so how's it supposed to work?

Sorry. my memory don't go back that far. :D

I say eat it and see what it tastes like. Does it have a pre-monopoly flavour?
Tas.

1.01 ? :confused:



Oh, I get it now. It's a DOS 1.01 disk. So the disk itself is a version 1.01 floppy disk, but what version is the OS that's on the 1.01 disk?

:p:D

It's a boot disk, so if it doesn't work you're SOL.:(

The program creates a floppy boot disk that contains a very
early version of DOS. So early that the format program only formats
floppies and does not format Hard drives

If you try to boot with it in current machines, it doesn't work cause most of the equipment has changed.

Buy a Pentium XE 840, 2Gb of RAM, 2x400Gb HDD, and a 19" LCD monitor, and install the disk and enjoy.

Start an online forum auction. If it was me, I would backup floppy image and burn it on a CD. And be sure, you store your floppy with anitfungal sprays in a vacuum flask.

If you have a wobbly table, you can put it underneath one of the legs. They work really well for that ;)
