Latest MS-DOS???

[chukchee317]

Anybody know what the latest MS-DOS version is? Where
can I get a copy?

Thanks you all.

The last "released" version of DOS is 6.22. Win 95 and 98 still run on top of DOS versions 7 & 8 that were never sold as seperate DOS operation systems. You will have trouble finding DOS for sale unless you have a used software store near by.

Type "abondanware" in any search engine and you may find it, but I cannot confirm the legitimacy of getting it that way.

I still have the disks and the manual that comes with it , very antiquated since win2k is all i use

I saw version of MS DOS for sale in Best Buy a few weeks ago. Sure, it was probably on the self since five years ago, and sure they were charging $50 for it, and sure their computers probably didn't even know it was there, but they would have been glad to sell it to you.

And the most important question, why in the world would you want to run DOS?

..cuz it brings back memories of a time not so long ago when you actually had to know how to type to be proficient with a computer ;-)

lol. Well just boot Win98SE, press F8 at startup, and choose command prompt only.

You could always try FREEDOS!

and I noticed that the partition magic "rescue disks" use a newer version of DR DOS. I've always found DR DOS interesting but it seems it just "went away" for a while. Someone bought it I think.

you could also post in the for sale forum...i've seen them go for the price of shipping only. I'm also looking for 6.22 on original disks.
