I need MS-DOS, like 6.2 or something would work fine......... Basically we have this old machine at work, that collects data from these big ass ISA cards... well it crapped.... and now i gotta find DOS to install on some other old machine I had laying around.... the program that we run, runs off dos.... HELP!

What do the ISA cards do?

how about going to Bootdisk.com and download one of the utilities to make yourself a bootdisk. Then, to transfer to a hard disk, just boot from the disk and do "Format C: /s" or "SYS c:"

dunno how legal it'd be to d/l... I got an extra copy off of eBay last year for like $12.... brand new, in shrink wrap, with manual and everything.

SURELY you can find a friend with it somewhere!

If you have an MSDN subscription it's available off of their site under MSDN Subscriber downloads, along w/ every other piece of MS software on the planet... :D

That will make the HDD bootable, but he still won't have DOS installed.

MaDHaVoK -
I probably have 6.1 around here someplace on 3.5" diskettes if you can't find it anyplace else.

I believe that MS-DOS is still under copywrite, so it's illegal. Please try again later.
