COMPAQ MS-DOS 3.10 (12-17-85)

This older 1985 release of COMPAQ MS-DOS 3.10 is from a 1.2Mb disk in our private collection. Since this disk was created for personal use, it also contains files unrelated to COMPAQ MS-DOS 3.10. A directory listing is provided below.

This release displays the following messages on boot:

The COMPAQ Personal Computer MS-DOS
Version 3.10

(C) Copyright COMPAQ Computer Corp. 1982,83,84,85
(C) Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1982,82,83,84,85

which is identical to the newer 1986 release. And most of the files are identical, so from a MS-DOS functionality standpoint, there was no difference between these releases.

Also of interest, this disk contains two COMPAQ ENHDISK drivers:

However, even though the drivers are different, they both display the same message when loaded:

The COMPAQ Personal Computer ENHDISK Version 3.10
(C) Copyright COMPAQ Computer Corporation 1984, 1985

The ENHDISK.SYS file dated 08-14-86 is identical to ENHDISK.SYS dated 10-31-86 on the 3.10 distribution disks above.
