Anyone have MS DOS 6.22 that is not wanted anymore and would like to sell it ?

Hopefully it would come on floppy disks, which would make it easier to install.

Have you considered freedos?

1304918 2012-10-03 19:20:00 I'm sure you could download it & then write it to disc.
I do have a set of original disks, if you want to PM me.

1304919 2012-10-03 19:26:00 Hi, never heard of freedos so dont know if it would work.
DOS would be part of a setup to control a CCD camera which would be attached to
an astronomical telescope. Reading the manual, MS DOS 6.22 is mentioned many
times so I guess it really is required.

However, I wil google Freedos and have a read up about it,

Thanks for the info.

1304920 2012-10-03 21:17:00 Considering Microsoft no longer sell it, profit from it etc, why not just download a copy? Agent_24 (57)
1304921 2012-10-03 23:50:00 I might have - I would have to have a look... Won't be tonight, probably at the weekend if you have time to wait? On floppies though. Ahh - I see that is what you want. I'll post later. R.M. (561)

1304923 2012-10-04 00:07:00 Last time I tried my DOS disks half of them wouldn't read anymore.
Depending on what the software requires a windows 95 or 98 created boot disk might work too, it's still a DOS enviroment just without all the external commands loaded.

then there's DOS box designed for running dos programs on a windows PC, mainly aimed at old games but it might work.

Yes, they do. Interesting that the oldest version of Windows they have is XP though...
