        Wouldn't be the first time a 'new' computer was shiped
with a problem with the dos disks. my dad bought a 'new' computer
(someones 386 overstock, this was just before the pentium came
out)from a local department store a couple of years ago. the original
dos  and windows disks that came with it and the computer itself  had
anti-exe virus (this was discovered BEFORE he had purchased or
installed ANY-THING).
        apparently someone had cut a deal with the department store
chain and some-one with overstock on an out of date set of computers.
the monitors were re-furbished, and the foppies for windows 3.1 and
dos (6.0???) had such amature looking lables that the only reason i
don't think they were bootleg is that all the computers had what looked
to be regular OEM manuals for the software.
