dos MS-DOS Image

[kurtstir]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if anyone new where I could get an image file to install MS-DOS in a virtual machine!

I dont have the money to buy my own dos system at the moment but plan to in the future.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that you can BUY DOS anymore...

So if that is the case I will post this link I found for you http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Install-DOS-622-Under-VirtualBox/

 

If I'm breaking and TOS, remove the link...

There are floppies on ebay but can you really trust people not to put virus's?

a virus on a floppy drive, in 2016.

 

people who try to infect other usually try to get as many people as possible. ......

Internet Archive should have a lot of MS-DOS versions... it's just a pain to fllter and find just disk images instead of random freeware and shareware : https://archive.org/search.php?query=MS+DOS

 

You could probably also find plenty of DOS versions on various torrent sites.

 

But you should also be aware that there are free alternative to MS-DOS, such as FreeDOS : http://www.freedos.org/

It's compatible with MS-DOS, most programs and games shouldn't know any different and work just fine, unless they really took advantage of some quirks/bugs  of computers back then, and the operating system

I don't know what you want DOS for, but you can try Linux Debians also.

 

If you just want to get old free OSes, I found MS-DOS, another DOS variants and many other old OSes like Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows Longhorn and even Atari OS, on top of that they have software like Borland Pascal, Borland C++ (Alt+F9, Ctrl+F9  ) here : https://winworldpc.com/library/

And old games like Lemmings, DOOM (the first version), Heretic and the FIRST first person shooter on PC, Wolfenstein 3D.
