Since most of you guys are hoarders I figured somebody must still have old 6.22 disks lying around (or disk images). I have images of the 3 install disks but I'm looking for the Supplemental Disk. I've been googling like mad for the past hour to find a 'good' copy, but so far nada.

So does anybody have it ?

Hiya

Pretty sure I do. I'll take a look in the "historic" box.

For a second I read Dos 3.22 supplemental. Have that two, but don't
have a floppy drive to read it anymore!

I don't even have a stuffy drive to read my 6.22 disks either.

Will take a look, I'm sure I've got it, but can't test the disk :)

What from the "Supplemental Disk" you looking for? I'm sure I have
this all on 1.44" Disks, but not be able to read it, seeing that I am
not sure that I have a working stiffy drive.

Best of luck.

If you have a Technet subscrtiption, you can get a legal copy from the Technet Downloads....

Is it needed for something specific that can't be done by FreeDOS?

SHA1 for the Technet Download: d01aa47a5d85908185f8987e972afc66dc92a735

Don't have access to Win or stiffy drive right now but these two Web links contains promising (legal?) links on the supplemental disk too :

Just a quick note about the technet download...

It has 3 1.44MB disk images and 4 1.2MB disk images...

There is also a directory "upgrade" containing some other files...

What is supposed to be on the supplemental disk? (And is the 1.44MB version supposed to be 4 disks?)

Supplemental disk seem to have been sold separately.... (For DOS 6.0 at least, with the Resource kit...)

http://manmrk.net/tutorials/DOS/msdos.htm (I viewed the Google cached version, the original may / may not be down...) seem to have it.... Legality might be an interesting problem...

IT might make sense to contact Microsoft to see if they still sell licenses for MS-DOS if you need a legal copy...

Have a look here:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/MSLFILES/ The files containing DOS6 in their names...
