Im pretty sure that I have it. I kept (archived as image files) many of the DOSes (versions) onto CD. I will try to look for them later. (You will also need to be given the image program to allow restoration of the image files - particularly the first disk which is the bootable disk.)
Although technically illegal to do so, DOS 5 is considered abandonware. For such a case as Eddie313, it is not anticipated nor expected that the developer would pursue a case like this (eg, Jeeeze .....big ass multi trillion dollar microsoft crashing down on some poor single case individual who needs a legacy driver for some defunct application. Meanwhile, try to name a person that was indicted for any aspect of the securities misrepresentation fiasco that sent the global economy crashing.)
I was leery about asking for that here but its really old stuff.
This is for a very old machine and I have looked everywhere just trying to get it up and running soon.
Are you sure it won't run on DOS 6? Backward compatibility with programs was pretty darn good with improved DOS versions. In fact one of the reasons people wanted to upgrade DOS was to make it run programs better. DOS 5 was actually a huge upgrade as it allowed more of the memory to be used, hence many programs said "MS DOS 5 required", but this didn't mean it wouldn't run on MS DOS 6, just that it would not run on MS DOS 4 or lower.
MS-DOS 5.0 was good, but it had a curious and serious bug. I would stick with DOS 6.22, personally, because they worked the bugs out. Or take a DOS disk from Win98se, because that supports FAT32.
