Almost all versions from 6.22 back work with Windows 3.1, but you cannot download any because they are all still commercial software. Unless you go to a warez site and that is illegal. You can pick up a copy for just a few dollars on ebay.

DR-DOS 7.03 will work with Win 3.1, it is a free download for non-commercial use

ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos/DR-DOS.703/images/

NOTE: You need to do the following on a FAT 16 formatted hard drive:

You need 5 formatted 1.44 Meg floppy disks.

Create a Temporary directory on your hard drive

Download the 5 install disk images

disk01.144
disk02.144
disk03.144
disk04.144
disk05.144

Download
mkdskzip.exe

Double click mkdskzip.exe or type mkdskzip.exe from the same temporary directory in DOS.

A few files will be unzipped.

Double click makedisk.exe

Makedisk will give you instructions from there on.

When you are done with all 5 disks, reboot your computer with disk 1 in the floppy drive.

Your DOS installation will begin and you will be prompted for disks.

If you need actual Dos 6.22 or earlier go to www.kewlone.com - very good site for a lot of stuff that is hard to find quickly.
