Manufacturer description
I removed one floppy from its tyvek sleeve just to show that there is no corrosion or dust on it. The shrink-wrap has been slit on one end and the bag containing the discs has been opened. But everything looks to be in perfect condition with no dust, degradation, or discoloration.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Microsoft MS-DOS 6 Plus Enhanced Tools and Double Space 4 x 5.25"… using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro software & media category. Microsoft's retro software & media lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
