I'm sure there must have been, although rare, a version of DOS 6.22 available on 360k. Does anyone have this flavor or know where such images might hide?

Thanks,
Daniel
 
I migrated 6.22 onto 360k disks from another install. :)

I have an image of that 360k bootable 6.22 if that's what you're looking for.
 
There was a card in the retail box that you could send in and get 1.2M or 360K disks. I should have a set around here somewhere.

edit: I have the 6.0 upgrade and the 6.2 upgrade on 360K disks, but not the 6.22 step-up. Unless it's in a different box.

How many floppies and is it possible to get images?
 
12 disks in each set. I'll see if there is anything on them to make an image of. I hope that ebay seller's garage has heat and AC, otherwise those disks aren't going to be worth much.
 
Man, I hated DoubleSpace. They should have called it LittleSpace, it was a lot of trouble for a little extra hard drive space. Almost as irritating as the tape drive companies that rated tapes at twice the actual capacity. Put 10.2 MB onto a 20 MB tape and presto! it's full. Anyway, the disk images are done, but they are not error-free. If they don't work, I have the 1.44MB versions, we can probably transplant files from them until we get a working set. PM me an email address and I'll send them out.
 
I believe "Enhanced Tools" is how they referred to OEM versions of DOS 6.x. These sometimes may have include extra tools specific to an OEMs hardware.

Seconded. I've done this for decades. Do a clean install on some system, format a: /s to the media you need, copy fdisk.* and format.* a:, then boot the target and set up the drive. Then, use your favorite copying solution (network, floppies, laplink/fastlynx cable, etc.) to copy over C:\DOS.

MS-DOS with Enhanced Tools is just OEM full version from Microsoft Genuine.
(No upgrade version.)
