Didn't even think I had them anymore, and was looking for my 6 original Windows 3.1 3 1/2" disks. So I'm looking through this one box, and wouldn't you believe it, I saw MS-DOS 6.22 Upgrade and went, I HAVE THESE?!?!?!???? SINCE WHEN!!??!???
So I hurried up and copied all 3 disks to a new folder on one of my hard drives, but this time, I copied each disk to its own folder, as there are 3 disks. The files aren't even that big, as these disks max capacity is 1.44. These are the High Density disks actually.
Anyway, it's just more stuff that I love. I have a DOS 6.2 PC, but I don't want to upgrade it. Only for the fact that if something goes wrong, I don't have a DOS 6.2 install disk, I just have the 6.22 upgrade disk. What that means is, I would need to have a DOS 5.0 disk, or a DOS 6.0 installation disk, install that first, and then I can install the 6.22 upgrade. Recently did that on a Virtual Machine I made, just to see if it would work, and sure enough it did. But that was with ISO files attached to the VM. I used to have a DOS 4.0 install disk set, but not sure what happened to it. And the problem there is I believe it may have been on 5 1/4" floppy disks.
My 3 1/2" disks STILL work flawlessly which is really freaking cool!! But the majority of my 5 1/4" disks are all but non-functional.
