edited April 2017 in Software
Here's the full MS-DOS 6.22 System on a 1.44 MB Floppy Disk :bball:
I have installed DOSIDLE for Compatibilty for Newer CPUs (post 1996) :roll:
Download Here Now [Direct]:https://sites.google.com/site/classicfloppy/ms-dos/System.img?attredirects=0&d=1
I tested the image on a Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM and on a Intel Core i7 with 8GB of ram.

TO FLASH ON A MEDIA DEVICE
CDs/DVDs : Rufus 2.12
Floppy Disk: Diskwrite (2000 Version works in Windows 10)
USB : Rufus 2.12

Cons:
- Doesn't support Sound.
- Only 192kb Disk Space free
- Low resolution on some Machines

  • A few questions about floppy:
    1) Why boot sector is invalid - OEM name contains “…IHC” – it’s virus in boot sector?
    2) Why floppy is so dirty – there is 28 rewritten files on that floppy and 2 renamed directories “Nuova cartella” – first renamed as “DOS”, second as “DOSIDLE”?

    I don't think this is related with virus.

    You can avoid IHC tag with write protection on disk.
  • Also, any software from 1995 or later may have been mastered with a volume tracker tag (the IHC thing). This is where having a kryoflux dump comes in very handy. You can use that to determine if the sector has been written by a user, or if it was mastered that way.

    1)Based on a Standard DOS Bootdisk, virus-free, tested even on Real PCs
    2) In a standard DOS installs the programs in a Folder called DOS and DOSIDLE is a program for not making MS-DOS use the 100% CPU "Nuova Cartella is the italian translation for New Folder"
