Well its not life or death but it is a shame that they are being lost
and I for one find that once people have used DOS and configured it(emm
/qemm/himem.sys and sorted config.sys and autoexec.bat etc) optimally,
that they have a far better understanding of windows which still has a
lot of 'DOS' in it even 2000 and xp.
Its m more the early DOS's like 1.0 and 2.0 the=at I am missing (I don't
have 4.01 either, which was a milestone in DOS)
So if it is pos then yes plse if it is a lot of work ok thanks anyway.

I'v probably got most DOS versions from about 2 on, but
finding and imaging them would take me a long time.  How
badly do you need them?
