Has anyone got the original Windows 3.0 install disks? I have the
original package and everything but the disks are missing :(
Willing to pay a reasonable price plus shipping.
Thanks!

Has anyone got
the original Windows 3.0 install disks? I have the
original package and everything but the disks are missing :(
Is the media that came with the package 5 1/4" or 3 1/2"?

Probably the original Windows 3.0 original install disks, yes :-)
Until recently I had a boxed copy of 3.0 that also came with the
Microsoft mouse included (I'm assuming the first versions didn't?) -
that included both 5.25" and 3.5" media.
I say "until recently" - I've still got it, I just don't know where it
is! :-/
cheers

I had it on 3.5" for both a zenith and a nimbus at the time.

Do you just need a usable copy, or are you trying to get
the real original distribution diskettes?
Is the media that came with the package 5 1/4" or
3 1/2"?
I think that 3.00 was available on 360K, 1.2M, 720K, and 1.4M
It was also available on CD-ROM! But that might not have ever
been in a commercial release.
In 1991, MICROS~1 gave me a CD-ROM containing "all" of the
"foreign language" 3.0 versions. And either the SDK or the DDK
included Windoze.

It doesn't matter to me.

BTW, I've got the Windows SDK, but I don't think it includes Windows (I
checked the disks and none of them indicated they were to install the
"OS").

I'll let you know if/when I can find it.
