    Hello

    I hope someone can help me with my Thinkpad :)

    I do not know what DOS I should take for my Thinkpad 700 PS/2.
    Does somebody know what DOS I should install?
    It should be a DOS that works :wink:

    Thanks

    Typically on older hardware (that isn't older than 386 based), I use DOS 6.22 or PC-DOS 2000. If I recall, those guys had a 486 in them with 4-8MB of ram, so either of the versions I mentioned should work perfectly. You should be able to run Windows 3.11 on top of that too if you wanted.

    Also, those older IBM machines had excellent repair/troubleshooting guides for their hardware too.

    Are you looking for something age appropriate or just the newest version of DOS that it can run?

    Post split from "Your Oldest Machine Running" thread, and merged with the duplicate thread which you made about this already.

    In accordance with this wiki page: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:700

    It looks like the Thinkpad 700 is just a standard 486 processor. So, there would not be any limitation as to which version of MS-DOS you could run on it. Is that what you meant, or were you asking whether FreeDOS etc would work?

    I will check some of the old floppy discs with Windows.

    Absolutely MS-DOS 6.22. My IBM PC runs it and works properly.
