Try eBay.

Actually, I'm looking for a white box PC on eBay that has Win98 or Win Millennium on it or a 3.5" floppy drive so I can boot to floppy to get setup for Millennium to run. I have an old game that I loved but won't run on XP. Actually, I have several. I'll find what I need somewhere.

You kids can go with the fancy new technology if you want. But I've finally got the hang of the MS-DOS command line interface. So I'm sticking with Windows 3.1.

A lot of machines are not used to browse the internet and many are straight VPN tunnel machines for a single application.

I remember loading OS from 8” floppies.

The load would sometimes die. Always on the last or next to last floppy. :)

*****************
The upgrade should be to Windows 2000 Pro SP4 ,, I have a Hong Kong sourced disk of that I can send you... I think every copy of 2KPro and XP in China uses the same key as Microsoft never enforced any anti-piracy rules for s/n’s known to have been distributed in China ... they wanted market share and only us dumb Americans were forced to pay for our copies.
