Those computers I wrote about are gone a long time ago. I don't know where to look for those components. Maybe ebay?

I've looked, nothing bootable sadly. I hope some day someone sees this message and emails me. I'd be willing to pay at least 10 bucks + shipping for a DOS image or something.

Not sure if this will help any. http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/msdos.htm I also read about using a CF to IDE adapter. http://www.yqcomputer.com/1118_467_1.htm

I could make the image provided I had both a 5 1/4 floppy drive and an actual 5 1/4 floppy. I don't have either of those for my new computers.

It's like trying to write a DVD with no burner. Where do you have a computer that still has a DVD drive burner? Same problem I'm having.

My laptop came with a DVD burner a couple of years ago. Maybe used once. I swapped it with a 1 TB SSD earlier this year but I can connect it with USB if I have to.
