I have every version of DOS from 1.0 to 6, both Microsoft MS-DOS and PC-DOS. I have every version of Windows from Windows 1. All are on either 5 1/4" or 3 1/2" floppies or backed up to ( get this ) an old tape drive. Yea, none are setup/installed on a working machine although I do have some old dust covered machines that will run them. :rolleyes:

Kind of a computer hoarder I know . . . :P

Sometimes I miss my 800XL and the 1040 drive. :-) I sold my system for $300 in 1990.
