Microsoft does not allow any version of MSDOS to be distributed via the
internet.  If you search you might find it anyway, but you would be breaking
the law, and a bootleg copy of MSDOS might contain viruses or might just
not work right.  You might find someone selling legal copies of MSDOS in
the original package (Windows 3.1 should work with any MSDOS version from
3.1 to 6.22, or IBM DOS 3.1 or higher), or you can download DR-DOS 7.03 from
ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos.
