And here the dump of MS DOS6.22 and Windows for Workgroup 3.11 in french.
Microsoft saved money by not including the fourth disk containing the additional MS-DOS tools. No DOSSHELL. No Gorilla.bas...
After installing Windows, it's time for a quick game of good old Minesweeper. And why not install Tetris Classic for Windows?

@dfx I never use dosshell in the past. Directly go from DOS to Windows 3.11
I try dosshell once in dos 6.22 in 90', it's better than this version, but compared with windows, it's a bad experience.

Okay, this might be one of the coolest things I've ever done. Top 10, easily.

This freaking CGA card works!
It reads DRAM via CAS and RAS addressing, it reads the character font ROM, it serializes it out at the dot clock.

I poked the message manually into VRAM, because I don't have the PC-side interface at all.

But hell. IT WORKS

We continue with MS-DOS 4.01 in French.
Version 4 introduced the DOSSHELL, Microsoft's first attempt at a graphical user interface.
GW-BASIC is, of course, still present.

@leeuw gift from myself to myself. Not sure if i can say free ... 🤣

First dumping session with the Interplay release of Out of this World.
Fun fact : despite the box containing the code wheel, it seems useless. The game does not require any codes, unlike the original French version.

@Telev I already ordered a Windows 3.0 disk set from 21.06.1990. This should be the original version v3.0 before the bug-fix update. It should arrive within the next few days.

A floppy disk set of Windows 3.0.

@dfx from my side in few days, i will get a sealed blister with DOS 6.22 & Windows for Workgroup 3.11

2025-12-07

@dfx So i'm stupid ... my french version is also a version 3.0a
I mistakenly assumed it was version 3.0 because of the startup screen.

2025-12-07

@dfx How to distinguish a version 3.0 from a 3.0a?

2025-12-04
