I was doing some re-arranging in the garage when I noticed a white box in pristine condition and when I turned it over, I found it was PC DOS 6.3!
PC DOS was IBM's implementation of Dos and very similar to MS DOS 6.2.
Now I have an excuse to drag out an old 486/586 board, overclock it and play some Duke Nukem 3D (Atomic edition). Now I hope I didn't throw away all my floppy drives. (PC DOS is on about 6 floppies).
I think I might have also found a good set of floppies of MS DOS 6.2, but I will need to check them to see if they are viable.
Maybe I will dual boot DOS and Win95 just for kiks...I think I have an old version of System Commander laying about where I could run several OS's for fun. I still have: Dos, Win95,Win98,WinME, WinNT4,WIN2k,XP, and if I can find the old XT hdd, from way back ...it has something I never heard of before I booted it, and that was "Windows 286".
At one time, I had all versions installed and in use at the same time, but that was in the ME Win2k days.
Sooo,I have something do do while waiting for parts to come by mail. I miss Duke anyways.
