DOS never dies! So don’t the boot floppies 😉
I have these since years and made them ready for web-download in 2001 already.
Now I gathered them back from my archives to put them aside to download at phunsites.net.
Maybe, these are of use to others to.
Here’s a short overview of the bootdisks available:
- MS-DOS 6.22*
- MS-DOS 7.0 Beta (never released)**
- IBM PC-DOS 7.01*
- DR-DOS 7.03**
- Windows 95 4.00.950*
- Windows 95 4.00.1212*
- Windows 98 4.10.1998*
- Windows 95 SE 4.10.2222
- Windows ME 4.90
Additionally, there’s the following tools available:
- DOS/Windows Version of ‘dd’
- DOS/Windows CLI to overwrite floppy boot code; will allow to boot from HD even if the floppy is inserted
- DOS CD-ROM drivers for various drives
Maybe these can still be of value, despite floppy drives being gone and virtualization on the edge.
