I understand your position. However, the machine did come with PC-DOS
3.3, and they own the machine. No one is trying to pull one over on
IBM and have anything that they aren't entitled to. They just did one
of those famous clean outs and threw the disks away.
Thanks for the info,

I know he regularly seeks out copies of MS-DOS 6.22 for resale. He
may have access to older versions as well. If he does, he will send
you original media, etc., not a disk copy.
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? .
