If people are interested in getting the Dos disks you might want to consider the Stream preload CD's. I know IBM has them for the 755CD, CE and CSE, and presumably the higher models as well. It contains all the preloaded software that comes on those machines, and a diskette factory to make disks for PC DOS 6.3, Windows 3.1, and OS2 Warp 3. The CD is just one big zipped file and the installation program that it comes with will wipe your current hard drive, BUT you can using Pkunzip just unzip the sections you want by yourself. A bit clumsy but it works just fine. I got mine a few weeks ago for $40 from IBM.
