[SMCARA] WTB: Old MS Operating System(s)

[Lawrence Robinson]

Hello,


I'm setting up a legacy computer for fun and to show my grandson how stuff looked "back in the day". I'm searching for old original media copies of MS-DOS (preferably version 5.x or 6.x), and/or 95 and/or 98 and/or XP (full installation versions, not the upgrade versions that go looking for a previous MS OS license on the HD).


Yes, I know these versions aren't "safe" for on-line use, but I don't intend to put the computer on-line. I just want to run some legacy S/W, fire up my old C compiler, hook up my old daisy-wheel printer, and stuff like that. I'm willing to pay a reasonable $ amount for you trouble digging through your junk-piles, but will not pay "eBay" ransom rates.


If you think you can help, please reply only to lleighrob at hotmail.com to avoid spamming the entire reflector list.


Many thanks,


Lawrence
