Windows on a 5 1/2 floppy?

[envisioncs]

I was going through an old cabinet and found a stack of 5 inch floppies:

Microsoft Windows - Disk 1-5
Microsoft Windows/286 - Display 2/Utilities 1
Microsoft Windows/286 - Setup/Build/Displays 1
Microsoft Windows/286 - Desktop Applications/Microsoft Windows Write
Microsoft Windows/286 - Presentation Manager
Excel for Windows


The copyright on this is 1985! I was 7 years old

There's no such thing as a 5.5" floppy....

That sounds almost as high tech as any Mac OS!

Sorry, about the wrong size. 5.25

i wonder if they are still readable.

They appear to be in perfect condition. But I don't have a 5.25 drive.

Guess I won't be dual booting

Can you run Win 3.11 on a new Athlon/P4 rig?

I have a 5.25 drive on my 286. You can send them to me.
