1DOS boot CD
2
3This CD contains a nunber of different editions of DOS.
4  The CD is bootable, and can directly run most of the DOS editions, except
5  for:      MsDos2.11, MsDos400 and PcDos0.90
6  These are in formats the bootloader I use in .ISOs can't seem to handle.
7    They do however boot under various emulators (see DosBox emulator below)
8    or if you write to actual disks.
9  Note that most systems will "override" drive A: if you boot from CD, some
10  leave B: accessible, some don't. To write .IMGs to actuak disks from a CD-
11  booted DOS, usual floppy writing tools may not work, use ImageDisk because
12  IMD controls the floppy hardware directly (not through DOS/BIOS).

14  These directories/files are included:

63DOSBOX\
64  DosBox can actually boot DOS images!
65  This is a minimal edition of DosBox which presents a menu of available
66  images, allowing you to select and boot one under Windows, and also to
67  enable a virtual NE2000 NIC - just go here and run DOSBOX.
68    DOSBOX.EXE      DosBox program
69    DOSBOX.INI        ""    init file
70    BOOTIMG.COM     Prompt for and boot .IMG
