DR-DOS

There's a copy on WinWorld but it's some homemade disks, lacking an installer, IIRC. I have physical media from the early 1990s somewhere! I have DR-DOS 7.01/02/03/04/05/8.0/8.1 mostly from WinWorld . I own an original open source release of 7.01, including sources, direct from Caldera, on CD. This is from before they changed their mind and back-pedalled. I have a full boxed copy of PC DOS 7. It was distributed with Microsoft Virtual PC, which itself is a free download now. So the VM is out there and freely available. My VM is built from the free download version, with ViewMax taken from the download of DR DOS 6. I have a working VM of PC DOS 7.1 but I'm still working on that. I don't currently have a bootable USB of it -- making new bootable volumes is non-trivial. It's not as simple as SYS or FORMAT /S, alas. Neither works. I don't think it was meant to, TBH. Ditto the later OEM releases of DR DOS 7.04/05 -- these were only on Disk Manager and PartitionMagic boot disks, AFAIK. The whole OS was not updated. -- Liam Proven ?
