Sorry VP, can't help you on this one.

What a shame that you don't know where it came from . . . Might I have a (backup) copy of this disk, to do some research on it?

[Dave]

Looks very, very interesting.
xp.sys, xpdos.sys?

I never heard of this one either and would be very interesting in finding one myself!

Looks kind of like a cross between a win-98 disk and XP but even the limited XP DOS disk has version 8.

Looks like a release of the XPInstall disk. Dont know who it was made by but it was supposed to make it easier to instal;l xp. Will see if i still have it on my hd and try to recreate it

[VP]

Check beta.file.links for a copy

[DoG]

thanx- wiil compare the 2 for reference

[Dave]

Thank you very much VP.
