(OFFER) DR-DOS 7.03 Lite

[DiskingRound]

I found this on an old FTP Server, but I don't know how to open .144 files on a Mac (the only computer in the friend's house I am in now). So no screenshots.
So, here is a download link to the 144 files so you can try to open it and see if it's useless or not:

Hope it's useful and not useless like my CB06 NT 4.0 "beta".

We can pretty much deduce that '.144' means 1.44mb floppy disk image...

More information on this format (and look at that, the same copy of DR-DOS in question is mentioned...) :

I converted the .144 files to .IMA using WinImage on a Windows machine:

Unfortunately, it isn't bootable, however. Can someone get this working?
Also, I'm a bit confused by the release notes (7.02) and the command.com version (7.03).

Seriously Brandon?! Do you ever read the replies to your posts all the way through? I didn't include that link for my health here!

If you had read the posts on that forum that I linked to, you'd know that using WinImage doesn't work, and that you have to use a different tool (MKDSKZIP.EXE, which is on said FTP server along with the images.....), to write the images to a [virtual] floppy.

Edit:


Surprise Surprise. It works, and is bootable.

Now try again.

There is no neee to covert by Winimage.
The result is more bad than .144 format.

Thank you for the tool, user99672. I am installing DR-DOS 7.03 "Lite" as we speak...
Edit: It doesn't work. Invalid Opcode error. I will try this fix.
Edit 2: Got it working on a Windows PC with VPC 2007:

But in this case, he was talking about converting for the purpose of using in a VM, for which purpose the .144 format is useless. Maybe you should, you know, read everything that is being said instead of only what you disagree with.
