DOLLY HARD DRIVE IMAGING V1.00 (here: https://www.sac.sk/download/utildisk/dolly.zip) seems to be one of those few hard drive imaging software which actually runs on a 286 computer. GHOST (before Symantec took over) requires 386+ starting from version 5 and up. Version 4.0 doesn't seem to work for me (the last one which ran on a 286). Drive Image by PowerQuest requires 386+..any others? All the modern ones I've found require 386+ be it commercial or non-commercial versions. Requirement is to be able to run it in pure DOS preferably on a floppy disk.

So..Anyone knows how to acquire a proper license for this DOLLY software or knows how to get in touch with developer(s)? I use to pay for the software I use regularly and DOLLY does seem to fit the bill perfectly.

I found ghost 2.0, but I never tried it on a 286.

I can confirm version 2 indeed works on my 286 😀

This was of great help to me - thank you. Guess the problem with version 4 lies in 286 protected mode extender this newer version forces to load no matter what.

Problem solved, thanks again!
