Got DOS?

[RetroJames]

I am tired of fussing around with DOS from the Win98 boot disk.  Anyone have DOS to trade/sell/give?  If I remember correctly DOS 7.0 is the first version that supports larger hard drives.

I saw that, has anyone tried that with dmame and arcadeos?

Omnicade supposedly works off of Freedos.  I believe they use advancedmame as a backend and arcadeos as a frontend.  Check it out.  Otherwise (Note to Redmond Lawyers:  I am not advocating the use of unlicensed Microsoft Software...Please don't sue me.) you can google and find copies of DOS that people have posted on the web.  They are unlicensed but they will work.  Or get it off of Kazaa or Suprnova.org.  Good Luck

DOS 7.0 isn't a version of DOS that you can buy, it is the version of DOS that is underneath windows 95 and 98.

And what is wrong with win98 boot disk dos? It is the version I use all the time.

Another easy option is to install windows 95 or 98 and set ip up to boot to dos instead.

He's trying to edit the msdos.sys file so the boot screen does not show up.

Normally it would involve changing a line in the msdos.sys file so it wouldn't show up.  However; the bootdisk version has just *one* line in it, which says

;format

and that's it.

So how about a request for this one file?  The 1024k version of msdos.sys from Windows 98SE.

If you've got some place I can upload DOS 7 to, I've got a DOS 7.1 CD I can make into an .iso for you to burn to CD...will that work for ya?  Otherwise, I've got DOS 6 on floppies I can send.

I tried dmame, and it worked fine.  I'm using AdvanceMame with AdvanceMenu, though.

Incorrect.  The final version of DOS from IBM was DOS 7.0.  it came with the PS/2 computers, and IBM was selling it at retail.  It came on 5 3 1/2 inch disks.

[SirPeale]

That would be IBM-DOS then, wouldn't it?  We're talking MS-DOS.

I have 2 copies of MS-DOS 6.22 upgrade I would part with.  They are both NEW IN THE PACKAGE!    You don't see that too often now do you?  I'm not sure how much an upgrade version will help, but I thought I'd mention it.
