I seem to have misplaced my disks for it. Does any hardcore techie have a copy sitting around that they could email or IM a copy to me? Thanks

Bootdisk.com has them.

This board is not to be used for a means of acquiring pirated software, no mater how old.

20years old software that cannot be found anywhere else shouldnt be a problem with the pirated laws.

I probably should have mentioned that MS appears quite okay with bootdisk.com as a source for these helper disks. Their support groups, msdn, etc. regularly push it. Legal would probably squawk if someone started getting rich or damaging their name, but otherwise offloading the distribution saves them money on something that could never turn a profit.

FYI, Some older versions of MS_DOS have already been placed in the public domain.

thanks for the bootdisk url, I had forgotten about that one. now if I could just get the disks to work right.

If you don't need exactly MS-DOS, you may be able to use FreeDOS as an alternative. It's an actively-developed DOS clone.
