Hello Vogons. I recently acquired a box of IBM PC-DOS, an OS that is particularly dear to me for reasons. Unfortunately, the disks are missing and I would like to make replicas for my use. I believe this used to come in 3 720k DD floppies. I was wondering if anyone has these floppies and could scan them for me, so that I can print authentic stickers. Thanks to any willing to help!

Have you tried the archive dot org? I've found the version 4.0.1. For the stickers, you can easily make one based on these scans in Inkscape. I can do it if you want.

Those are the 5.25" floppies I'm afraid. The best photos of the 3.5" that I could find are the ones I am attaching here. They are from an old ebay auction. Turning these into decent printable stickers is beyond my capabilities I'm afraid, but if you can do it, I'd be very grateful..

There is also this version, which looks prettier and I would be even happier about 😀

Oh, my bad. I did make one for the 5¼ version.

I don't own a copy of PC-DOS 5.0, but I do have a boxed copy of 5.02.
While not exactly what is being asked for, I'm sure someone here would find these quick scans I made useful.

Sorry for the late reply. Here you go 😀

PS. I couldn't find the OG font, so I use the Anton Regular instead.

Would you mind writing a short guide on how you did this in Inkscape? I'm interested since I'm printing new labels myself on some software 😀

Well, there are a ton of tutorials on YT. You have to import the raster image and use it as a sample.
