Needed 1 DOS Boot Disk in 5.25"

[cgrape2]

Somehow I have managed to lose my copies of DOS in the 5.25" Floppy.The PC it will attempt to start probably uses the Low Density style and anything above DOS 3 is not going to work.At the moment I have no working Reader\Writers in that size.
What do you-all have?
Thanks!

Have you considered adding a 3.5" drive as your B: drive? A 1.44MB one can still read and write DSDD disks; swap A: and B: and you can boot from the 3.5" to get you going.

Just thinking aloud here...

There's no such thing as "anything above DOS 3 won't work" in my experience - I have 6.22 on my Panasonic Sr. Partner, and that shipped with DOS 2.11 - it's an XT portable.

However, I can make a disk for you if need be of PC-DOS 3.3 pretty easily if you like - I have that on my 5160 at the moment and it has a 360K FDD. I can probably write any other version you like too.

Shoot me a PM if interested.

Chuck is quite right though, if you did that you could then write a 360K boot disk and then swap the drives back - also you could take the 360K drive and temporarily put it in another machine (even a relatively modern one) to write the boot disk.

I too was wondering what the OP was referring to, or had experienced in this regard.
