It would be much easier to learn Linux and a dam side more useful as well.Īnyway USB is out DOS never worked and no drivers have ever been made for USB & DOD. The laptop has USB, CD/DVD +-RW, etc… NO FLOPPY* *The object is to successfully install and have the capability to run a network through Windows 3.11 on a laptop. We figured that even when/if DOS gets installed, 3.11 still remains on the USB flash drive – and when DOS will not (or can it?) recognize the USB…ahh! How do I install DOS, then 3.11 onto a system that has NO floppy drive, and already has hardware that did not exist back in that day? I AM NOT TRYING TO DUAL BOOT OR VIRTUAL PC THIS THING. Windows DOS+3.11 do not recognize USB (if I recall correctly, it was XP that first even introduced USB boot recognition?). The problem we have run into (during the after class project) is the installation. Well, I have them but I only have them in-hand. A project of mine has been to learn DOS, and 3.11… to truly understand the operating system and what goes into them. I am a product of the tech-age, but have been raised on operating systems that make everything almost too easy. I have been awaiting a chance to grab a copy of the original Windows DOS and 3.11 for many-a-months now, and thankfully a professor of mine happens to own just about all things computer.
