Hi all,

I collect vintage operating systems and am looking for:
- A copy of MS Windows from the 1.x series
- A copy of IBM PC DOS from the 2.x series
- A copy of IBM PC DOS from the 1.x series

Happy to pay a reasonable price for any of these :) .

Man a while back I had a clear out of some of the OS 's I had... I had every version of Windows (up to XP) Both Home and Pro, including NT, and server...

I also had MS-DOS up to 6.22 (or something)... A few PC-DOS and a couple of Dr-DOS though can't remember versions... All in original boxes and still had manuals. In pretty good nick (A couple never even opened still sealed)... I basically gave it away to a collector...

Anyhow hope you find someone that is willing to part with their stuff for you ;-)...

If you're only after a copy and not the original media, you can download all these for free from vetusware.

I seem to recall* that came bundled when you bought Aldus PageMaker 1.0?
