MS-DOS 7.* Boot DISK /files
Edward
But the last 'pure MS-DOS' released was MS-DOS 7.0
And here I am looking for these things:
1. I wonder if there is BOOT DISK with appropriate files
=NOT= WIndows'95 system! and =NOT= MS-DOS 6.22!
But MS-DOS# 7.0 boot disk (packed as image file (or similar)}!
2. Another thing I would like to find - WIN'95 boot disk as "DOS" ??? -
There is also such a thing as ehhhh PURIFIED system files (or I heard
about third party utility that cleans already installed Win'95
system/boot files) i.e. removes ugly Win'95 logo from file and makes I/O
readable in such way that other software "sees" this system as MS-DOS
7.10 ... not Windows 95...
(so that, for example you can install Windows 3.11 on the same system
etc....)
thanks for any info on that....

An official release that says "Starting Microsoft DOS 7.0" when you boot
it? No such thing.

That is only because M$ changed it to Starting Windows... whatever.
It is still DOS. If you want DOS 7, you get Windows with it, but that
doesn't mean you can't use DOS by itself.

Full zipped versions of DOS 5, DOS 6.22 and DOS 7.1, plus boot disk
images for DOS 6.22 and DOS 7.1:
http://www.micosyen.com/msdos.htm
The DOS 7.1 is pulled out from under Windoze 95B and the boot print
string patched so that it no longer says "Windoze...". FAT32 is
supported.
Edit the MSDOS.SYS file so that it contains the following:
[Options]
Logo=0
BootGUI=0
This will kill the stupid Windoze logo picture and disable the GUI.
DOS 7, with FAT32, also makes for great DOS MP3 players:

There is a DOS 7.0 BETA out there. It is very simular to 6.22
and runs win 3.11 just fine.
It comes in IMZ format and turns up in the news groups from
time to time. A.B.M. was the last I think.
Might also try getting one of the kindly people who have
it to report the msdos 6.00 source code if you want to study.

->REPOST<-
Now if I could just learn to type I might be able to program.
