DjmUK Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 MS-DOS 6.22 is free to download (legally) but I cannot find it. I need it for specific programs to run. Microsoft's website has links to a single setup file, but that's no good - I'm looking for the links to download: - DISK 1 - DISK 2 - DISK 3 I already have the DOS 6.22 bootdisk, but I'm having no luck in finding the actual OS. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I know this is against the post and all, but i am really curious to find out what you want to run on it. When you get your copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjmUK Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 Never used eMule. 95/98 - I don't have those operating system. I use XP-Pro, and all I need are these 3x MS-DOS 6.22 setup disks. Run: We have an old piece of legacy software that is dependanct on DOS as a client operating system. Upgrades are not an option due to finances etc. etc. and I'm looking for this OS as a backup disk because I realised we don't have a backup of it.

noll3095 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Well MS does have 6.22 Step-Up for download: http://download.microsoft.com/download/dos...N-US/stepup.exe Though I believe it's only an upgrade to 6.22 from 6.0-6.21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha1 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Do it really need to be MS-DOS? Because you can try FreeDOS. It's mainly the same thing, and it's also free. If you want to give it a try, you can find it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicker_man Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 You guys obviously have no idea that almost any manufacturing business still heavily depends on MS-DOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orry Verducci Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 That's actually an interesting fact, and I'm surprised their are no newer alternatives. For example, all the computers in my school run Windows XP Pro, except for the Computer Aided Design one used by the engineering department which still runs Windows 95 purely for the reason that the software relys on DOS.

tiddlie Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 MS-DOS 6.22 is still protected by copyright laws. Therefore, distributing copies is illegal. The link is directly to a Microsoft server, therefore you can safely assume that Microsoft has no issue with you downloding a copy. Either that, or someone at MS messed up.... I doubt its that though as the link is still live after 12 months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link in question points to an update for licensed users of certain previous versions of MS-DOS. Therefore, using it as a full version is illegal.
