    Stuff like that actually doesn't matter. If it did, would Nintendo actively go after websites for hosting NES games? It's all about protecting your intellectual properties.

    They may not lose money on downloaded copies of DOS, but if they still hold an active copyright, I suppose it'd be warez all the same. But I'm not really that up to par on the subject, so....

    Whoops, sorry teraguard, I wasn't keeping up with the thread. But Ragnar has been all over it.... that old stuff is so foreign to me nowadays.... it's probably a more or less simple solution, but it's hard to say from here.

    So like Ragnar said, you probably have to do some BIOS configuring now.... set the drives to be their proper settings, in other words in the bios it should have some stuff about floppy A and floppy B, and you need to swap them such that they are appropriate, becuase you don't want it to think the 5.25" drive is the 3.5", and vice versa.
    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
    I like watchin the puddles gather rain
    And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
    and speak my point of view
    But its not sane..
    I just want some one to say to me
    Ill always be there when you wake
    Ya know Id like to keep my cheeks dry today
    So stay with me and Ill have it made
    And I dont understand why I sleep all day
    And I start to complain that theres no rain
    And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
    And it rips my life away but its a great escape..
    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain...

    It's called freeware as it comes installed on computers in the first place and doesn't cost anything...I had a copy of DOS e-mailed to me from a Microsoft employee...I assume that would mean they don't care if you send out copies on the net.

    Alreaddy did... I put the BIOS the way it should be...
    But the bloody massage still displayed
    Ilso I noticed, that both floppy disc's err... Green light "Bulb"
    is working non-stop, My best guess is that the ribbon might be damaged,
    or the Card to witch the Ribbon is going to is having problems
