I've got an old 286 which hard drive burned, or well, it's not working. Found another one but I need the OS to format for DOS the "new" disk.

Several old DOS versions can be found on www.theunderdogs.org (I'm not related to this side in any way!). Usually, 6.22 works on 286 ATs, but there are several machines which need special MS-DOS versions made exclusively to fit to their strange BIOS (Osborne, Hyosung, Tandy, some Dell and Toshiba machines)
Summary: P.S. I have an offer,if you send me the full version of ms-dos 3.x,you can ask me for any versions of dos and windows,I have ms-dos 1.0 to 6.22(except ms-dos 3.x),and windows 1.0 to win xp,and Windows...
Summary: Hello to everyone ! I'am an old PC user, and I'm collecting old operative systems. I would like to find image disks for DOS 1.x and QDOS, to be run on an old 8088 system. Thank you in advance ! ...
