Windows 3.0 on 360k disks?
Has anyone come across Microsoft Windows 3.0 on 360k disks?
It was a 15 disk set and it did exist. I used to have access to a copy way back when, but obviously I don't any more. The "5.25" copy that Winworld has is for 1.2mb disks.
I'm not asking for a copy, I'm just mentioning it because I think it would be good to have for "retro" computers. And of course, I can shoehorn any OS on to any machine I need, but having the original distribution would be nice.

Windows 3.1 removed Real Mode, Leaving only Standard (286) and Enhanced (386) mode.
This post is old, but i know where i can get a copy of one i remember seeing so long ago. Once i can locate it (its still there just gotta get to it) i will let ya'll know and submit it
@RetroROM Do you have directory listings of the disks right now? I'd like to see how Windows 3.0 is split up among 15 disks.
RetroROM, we actually now have the 3.0a 360k version on Winworld. But the earlier 3.0 non-"a" was packaged a tad different, and would be good to add if that is what you have.

A few months ago, Windows 3.0 (360KB) was sold on eBay.
@SomeGuy just to clarify, we have 3.0a 360K but we need the 3.0 non-a 360K version, correct?
@ibmpc5150 yay! Thanks for answering my question about directory listings.
Erito17, yes, that is correct.
