Special Forums Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions What if I have a really, really, really, old DOS? Post 23642 by Calum on Wednesday 26th of June 2002 12:03:14 PM

older versions of DOS were made deliberately incompatible with newer versions, also PC-DOS (IBM's rival proprietary DOS) made it all the more incompatible!

why not get either DR-DOS, FreeDOS, OpenDOS or all three? they are all designed to be totally MS-DOS compatible, they are all free, i think at least one of them is open source, and since they are newer versions of DOS, you may find that they are compatible with more things than any MS-DOS is, also i think it would be fun to get an old version of windows running on top of one of these non-micro$oft DOS systems!
