[REQUEST] Compaq DOS 4.01

Zack_H

Does anyone have a copy of Compaq DOS 4.01 that they can make disk images of? I have always wanted this, but have never been able to find it.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't, but if you can ever get access to BA's FTP they have it (assuming you mean MS-DOS 4.01 (Compaq OEM))

Yep, that’s the one.

How do you go about getting access to the FTP?

You have to sign up for an account, upload software that is not already in the FTP (including a variant of something that is already there) in the specified format (look there, it will say for each medium), provide scans of the media and a few other things.

It's better to check the site for more information on the process.

So does no one else out there have this? I am a huge vintage Compaq enthusiast, so getting this would really make me smile.
