Try this "dms write file.dms df0:" and insert a floppy in df0:

I think you need DOS disks to. Try to find old DOS versions on the net and install them onto 720 kb DOS formated floppys.

I downloaded the dms file you attached last night and tried to extract it, but had no luck doing so. I had a new enough version of dms to deal with it, but when I tried it told me that I needed to mount PC0: and extract it with the PC option. I found a copy of CrossDos and did what it said, but still no joy.

As for managing to get a copy of an old bootable MS-DOS disk, there is one in the Zone I uploaded a couple of days ago in reply to another thread, and presumably you could use WinImage to write it back to a real floppy on a PC, though I haven't tried it myself. There is also an extended ADF version of that same disk there if that is of any use to you.

Hope this helps.
