[OFFER] More MS-DOS 6.00 Builds...

Post by Battler »

So, three more MS-DOS 6.00 Builds have been found:

1. MS-DOS 6.00.Ceb German (1993-02-25)
Link: http://tinyurl.com/msdos6-cebit-de .
It literally identifies MS-DOS 6.00.Ceb and that's because it is a build Microsoft compiled specifically for the CEBIT which is (or at least was, not sure if it's still being held) a yearly IT event taking place in Germany. Despite its date, it is beta-level rather than RC, since COMMAND.COM contains the expiration message, and the bootsector is MSDOS6.0, rather than the MSDOS5.0 used from RC onwards. Also, Disk 6 is the Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS, German.

2. MS-DOS 6.00 RC English (1993-02-27)
Link: http://tinyurl.com/msdos6-rc19930227-en .
The latest RC we had until now was the one dated 1993-02-12. This is 15 days later. Disk 4 is the supplemental disk.

3. MS-DOS 6.00.0790 RC English (1993-03-09)
Link: http://tinyurl.com/msdos6-rc19930309-en .
Its original NFO said this is the last RC Microsoft released. Nevertheless, this still differs from the RTM. Also at least the NFO identified this (and therefore the final build number of MS-DOS 6.00) as 0790, presumably based on information by Microsoft.

Enjoy!

Fantastic. The only thing left know is 6.00.0108, which I've seen mentioned a few times in warez disc/BBS lists. That will be found someday...
