any feedback? I would probably be attempting it on a windows host, unless I get a spare computer besides my business systems. I've been told dosbox is supposedly easier to configure than virtualbox, which sun doesn't support. The TRS-80 model 4 uses only 2 5-1/4 disks and there is no way to get my stuff transferred out of those TRSDOS disks into something like a text file I can read with more recent windows computers. The win 98 has a 3-1/2 disk drive and an MS-DOS prompt that I can use but will come back here it I need to download win 3.1 I'm glad I found this site while it's still around. Now I'm writing a similar set of programs that work with win 95 to win 8 and trying to get my previous stuff in text format. I still have tons of 5-1/4 and 3-1/2 disks holding my old programs that worked very well during the 80's. But I could not recoup an old IBM desktop running win 3.1 that had the two floppy sizes.

#MS DOS 6.22 INSTALL DISKS PORTABLE#

I recently fired up an old Windows 98 computer and my TRS-80 portable and both work very well. Sure, the PCs today are better but not faster for the work I was doing. When IBM's PC came out I slowly switched to Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS and continues to write programs. During the 1980's I wrote a complete set of accounting programs while being an Accounting Manager. MS-DOS did not exist yet but TRSDOS is what I learned to use. I purchased my first computer in late 1978. The installation would happen more or less the same way except it won't ask you to insert the next floppy disk, as all the files it needs are already present on D:\.īTW: I used a command similar to this to automagically mount and copy all files from the Win3.11 disk images into one folder (from a Linux system) to create the unpacked zip file:

#MS DOS 6.22 INSTALL DISKS INSTALL#

Install Win3.11 from there, rather than the floppy on A:\.Create an ISO based on the unpacked Win3.11 install files and mount it as D:\.

#MS DOS 6.22 INSTALL DISKS DRIVER#

Install a CD-ROM driver into MS-DOS so that you can mount a CD as D:\ for example.

But basically, a floppy disk boot is going to be used one way or another.

#MS DOS 6.22 INSTALL DISKS DRIVERS#

Or if you have a DOS boot floppy that has CD-ROM drivers built in, boot that and then mount an ISO containing all the unpacked MS-DOS floppy files.

Install MS-DOS from floppy disk images (no CD/ISO based install is supported for MS-DOS).

It will not be directly bootable, however. You could turn that into an ISO file using any ISO creation tool.

#MS DOS 6.22 INSTALL DISKS ZIP FILE#

On this page I have an "unpacked" Windows 3.11 install folder (it's a single zip file that contains all files from all Win3.11 floppy disks). MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 were originally distributed as floppy disks, so no CD-based installation is supported. Note that two VMs can not be powered on at the same time if they have the same disk attached! Windows XP or Linux) which does support guest additions.

Power off the DOS VM, and attach its hard disk as a secondary drive on a newer VM (i.e.

For a host-to-guest only transfer, create an ISO image (some CD burners on Linux let you turn a folder into an ISO file instead of burning to disk you'd select your folder, right-click "burn to disk" and on the burn:/// URI the button to actually burn would pop up a window where one option is to make an ISO instead.

Create a floppy disk image you attach to the VM to copy files to/from, then detach it from the VM and mount it as a loopback device on the host OS to access files.

If the networking works, try an FTP server you can connect to from within the virtual machine.

VirtualBox Guest Additions don't support any version of Windows older than Windows 2000/XP, so shared folders won't work. The comments on that blog post are shared to this page as well (so comments on either page show up in both places).
