Read back to a Post by Calum on the first page. He lists a link to a site that keeps old windoze versions for d-load. The guy has every version from Win 1.0 to Win 3.1.1.
Calum:
that's where i gt my 'corrupt file' copy of 3.1 from. Not a good success rate there, eh.
re: DOS and windows 2, you might have problems there, because FreeDOS and DR-DOS aim to emulate the most recent versions of MSDOS. The problem is that windows 2 does NOT run on versions of MSDOS later than 5. MSDOS^ can't run windows 1 or 2 for some reason, so you need to get an OLD version from somewhere...

I could put the floppies in 8 .zip files (you would have to unzip them each to a disk) on the internet for you to download. Its windows 3.11 for workgroups or windows 3.00 for Logitech (i have both)

if you could, that would be fab! i suppose i'm after windows 3.11 for workgroups, if i put them on disks, will they boot okay? i've noticed that a DOS bootdisk doesn't work (i get the "Not A System Disk" error) if i just copy the files from one disk to the other. Perhaps i need to make bootdisks, then extract the cntents of these zip files over them, well, we shall see...

i can/have make images for the disks, I tried to put them on a tripod site, but they must limit file size now, becuase it didnt work. Do you have an e-mail that can take 10 MB?? Either that or i will set-up a webserver on my computer and put them there (in case you have any doubts, i am insane)
