MS-DOS was officially end-of-lifed by MS so I don't see the harm. We certainly
don't have a problem distributing obscure OSes, tape loaders, and CPM so why
should DOS be any different?
I think IBM's PC DOS 2000 (I think that's the name) is still current, though.
Mark: Email me off-list with how I can get the diskette images to you; I have
PC DOS 3.3 in 720K format, perfect for the PS/2 Model 30.

I don't
suppose anyone has a copy of PC-DOS 3.3 they'd be willing to
part with, or make disk images for me? I have to restore an application
on a PS/2 model 30 that requires it, and we've lost the disks (probably
about 10 years ago...)
I've got MS-DOS and PC-DOS versions going back to 1.0 on file--including
the really reprehensible DOS 4.0, but wherein lies the permission to
distribute these things? .
