Re: netbooks--1 GB Ram and XP-Why?

You used on an Intel MDS development system with an 8086 CPU.

OR ...

You used it on a CompuPro (Godbout) system with either an 8086 CPU or with the CompuPro 85/88 CPU card (which was extremely popular at the time).

OR ...

You used it in an S-100 system with the SCP 8086 board set (available as individual S-100 cards or sold as a complete system called the "Gazelle")

I have version 1.0, but I do think that it's still labeled 86-DOS; I think that the first version labeled as MS-DOS was 1.25 (this is from memory, I'd have to hunt up the diskettes to be sure).

somebody would have at least a picture of the floppies.
So a picture is the only thing that will make you believe?

Seems kind of like little green men, eh?

So now do you believe in little green men? ;)

A picture would help a great deal. As I have no idea what one would use MS-DOS v1.0 for, since the only machines it would run on was IBM-PCs anyway. And they already have PC-DOS. So who would want to buy MS-DOS v1.0? See my point? There is no reason for MS-DOS v1.0 at all. There was no market for it. Not until Compaq created the first clone anyway.

Also thanks for the fake picture of a green alien. I was actually expecting a fake picture of MS-DOS v1.0 on a CD or a 3.5 inch floppy. lol
