I have MS-DOS 6.0 and Windows 3.1 disks somewher and somewhere on my HDD is a copy of the contents of the floppies for Windows 1.01.

The computer that was running 3.1 I threw away a while ago along with a commador 64 (they didn't work.)

The specs of that machine were:

Windows 3.1 + MS-DOS 6

Intel 386SX - 25MHz

Don't know how much RAM

40MB HDD

3 1/2 and 5 1/4 Floppy drives

Some sort of intergrated Graphics w/ VGA and EGA outputs

I have a fully working machine running Windows 98 (I don't use the computer much now - It's hidden away in corner of the attic - it hasn't been switched on for about 6 months but I was using it when my laptop stopped working and before i built the computer i'm on atm.)

The specs of that machine are:

Windows 98

Pentium 2 MX - 266MHz

64MB RAM

5.7GB HDD

CD-ROM

ATI Rage Pro (I think)

A MacSE from 1990 what ever OS that came with :p . Also two PC's that I got at yard sales have old Operating Systems. I think one is Win95 and the other WinME. I don't know as I don't use any of these..

Yeah I do !, I have the one of the first version of windows, windows 2 with all the installation disks and documentaion as well. it runs "on top of" Ms-DOS v6, on a circa 1989 8086 pc with an "eye wateringly small"

20 meg HDD, which incidently is partioned into two 10 meg drives although I hav'nt booted it for some time now, i think the CMOS is dead now. Yeah its a genuine dinosystem allright, but here is the rub, it still takes as long to boot my 2005 desktop system, but arguably it is pretty useless by comparison. But hey on the plus side of things it dont have to many virus.

And I have a copy of OS2 that i saved from a skip, but never used it I once tried to install it just to see what it was like and never got past the first screen, too many questions to answer.

I wonder if this early version of WINDOWS could be collectable to someone??, ANY OFFERS ??

and yes i know i need to get out more so dont bother with that one ;)
