Dear fellas, I'm sorry to revive such an old topic but I have a question. I watched a video about DOS 7.10 on YT and it said on the video that MS-DOS 7.1 is free and distributed under GMU GPL. Is it really so? If true, where can I download it?
ms dos 7.1 iso download
I cannot seem to find much else on this DOS. I wonder if there are any legal concerns vis-a-vis Microsoft. And I wonder if this this download works as promised.Any insights are appreciated.-Lou

Actually, it seems to me upon typing that stuff out that ALL of that would probably be considered pirating by Microsoft. I guess they wouldn't bother going after the individual user at this point but they still might make a legal fuss over those files being posted on a popular website for all to download.
NOW I understand that means Win95B-Win98SE contain DOS 7.1. So I hunted for 7.1, found it on WinWorldpc.com (Abandoned Software) and downloaded "Microsoft DOS 7.1 (CD)>Version 7.1 (China DOS Union)>Size 8.09MB>Architecture x86>Contents CD-ROM ISO" .
I needed a Fractint fix, so I then did as Philip Yip suggested and downloaded/installed VMware Player and tried to install the DOS 7.1 ISO into it... no luck so far. So I then installed my Win98 CD into VMware... installed fine... and then installed Fractint into virtual Win98 by Drag-and-Drop. (Yes, I found VMware accepted DragNDrop whereas VirtualBox would not.) And finally enjoyed Fractint for a few hours.
You can now easily download MS-DOS for free. Experiencing the old versions of operating systems that can take you back to the time where all the OS were not supporting the GUI (Graphical User Interface). And each and everything was based on the command line.
You will need to remember that MS-DOS was available on the floppy disk. In case, if you are using a floppy disk, you might configure your booting sequence to floppy. However, if you have download MS-DOS then you will only need to create a CD or DVD bootable drive.

I recently stumbled across my old copy of Datalight ROM-DOS 7.1 from back in the day when it was given away as a free download (nowadays, acquiring a copy requires a payment of about $60 to attain a single user license for personal use, which I think is a bit silly).
If you are using one of the FIRST German or Danish (and probablysome other non-US versions) of the OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2) version ofWindows 95, there is an ERROR in the IO.SYS system file, which preventsHIMEM.SYS from loading in the HMA area, leading HIMEM.SYS to use 45 Kb ofconventional memory instead of 1 Kb.You can downloadthe IO2PATCH.EXE program here. This program fixes the problem. Justput the IO2PATCH.EXE file in the root of your bootup drive (usually C:\), where theIO.SYS system file is placed, execute the IO2PATCH program, and then the problem shouldbe fixed.
Optionally, the WFDB library may be compiled with support for reading input directly from web (HTTP) and FTP servers without the use of a web browser or an FTP client. This optional feature allows applications linked with the WFDB library to view or analyze data such as those available from PhysioNet without the need to download entire records and to store them locally. To enable this feature, you will also need the libcurl library. 2ff7e9595c
