| 1 | Anyone here have a set of floppies they are willing to part with? I know I can d/load the images but I don't currently have a running machine with a floppy drive to write them. kingfisher21 - 2021-01-16 11:52:00 |
| 2 | Theres an iso image here smyrnia - 2021-01-16 14:52:00 |
| 3 | Download the images as above link and use something like OSFMount to mount them as a virtual drive that you can then copy files from or run. nzstocked - 2021-01-16 18:08:00 |

| 5 | iso and images are no good to me, dont have a machine fitted with a floppy drive. But I have several old complete blank 386's 486's etc with floppy drives that I want to install DOS on to, if I had a set of the 3 floppies it would make life a lot easier. kingfisher21 - 2021-01-16 22:00:00 |
| 6 | might be easier to find a usb floppy drive I would think, so you can create the disks king1 - 2021-01-16 23:22:00 |

Yup, looking like the way to go. kingfisher21 - 2021-01-17 10:44:00 |
| 9 | I have them but you'd need a FDD for a start and floppies didn't have a great lifespan anyway. lythande1 - 2021-01-17 12:57:00 |
| 10 | I've got a machine with floppy drive, maybe I can put it on for you? tygertung - 2021-01-17 13:02:00 |
| 11 | If one of the machines with a floppy drive can boot from CD or USB there are tools on various boot disks for creating floppies from images e.g. ultimate boot cd, hiren bootcd. drsr - 2021-01-17 16:38:00 |
| 12 | I have a full set (11) of the MS DOS 6.22 floppies plus a "DOS for Dummies" plus a "Windows for Worksgroups MSDOS" handbook, you are welcome to them all. Contact? sapper1 - 2021-01-18 14:00:00 |
| 13 | Or install DosBox on your good machine and chuck the others away? soundsgood - 2021-01-18 17:15:00 |
| 14 | Proper hardware is always better than emulators. tygertung - 2021-01-19 07:22:00 |

Do you want to do a listing for them? kingfisher21 - 2021-01-19 14:02:00 |

They could be up and running in a few minutes with an emulator. And they can run anywhere at anytime, and while doing other things. Old hardware is good to give to the kids to play on. soundsgood - 2021-01-19 17:20:00 |
| 17 | The reason for all this is I have several old machines, 286's 386's and 486's that I want to set up, call me an old git but I'm into vintage computers. kingfisher21 - 2021-01-19 17:26:00 |

I see you found my listing, best of luck. sapper1 - 2021-01-27 14:27:00 |

I added a comment to your listing - "Your listing title is a bit confusing. It's actually "MS-DOS v6.22" (3 disks), plus "Windows for Workgroups v3.11" (8 disks). Hope that clarifies. Cheers" - :-) Good luck Edited by cookee_nz at 10:56 pm, Wed 27 Jan cookee_nz - 2021-01-27 22:54:00 |
| 20 | Bugger, missed the damn auction. kingfisher21 - 2021-01-28 13:07:00 |
| 21 | I've got some MS DOS floppies here somewhere, there are three of them. Will try and dig them out. tygertung - 2021-01-28 13:22:00 |
| 22 | Or just get blank ones and down load the images from the net. Or if you have some old stuff you might have a CD drive and a ribbon cable to connect it with. soundsgood - 2021-01-28 15:35:00 |
| 23 | I've got blank discs here too, all the floppy discs are in the same box. tygertung - 2021-01-28 16:46:00 |

Can you temporarily 'borrow' a FDD from one of the 386 or 486's and have it installed on your master machine? Assuming the motherboard has a FDD controller? Then create the floppy disks with the ISO creator. Or are you simply after the floppies themselves as the physical media to be able to do the boot-up? you might need an intermediate machine that has a FDD controller (and preferably a USB port too) eva_l - 2021-01-31 00:42:00 |
| 29 | After the physical disks really, I have several complete old machines with floppy drives and having a set of the disks just makes it a lot easier. But I might just buy a USB floppy drive and create the disks from the iso images I have. kingfisher21 - 2021-01-31 11:32:00 |

| 34 | I think she was going to use a newer machine to make the floppies. tygertung - 2021-04-11 08:36:00 |
