People Send Me The Best Lost Media
Added 2024-02-24 06:00:03 +0000 UTCAdvanced NetWare/86 from 1985. The dump had some problems, but BCD and I have been working on it in the background. Not sure if its actually usable yet, but here's some previews. I've got a wiki page started, and we've had some initial investigations from Discord.
So far:
- The flux dump was a 360k disk in 1.2 MiB drive. its 'usable', but there are bad sectors
- This version of NetWare requierd a keycard, we'll have to develop a patch to get around it
- There's at least some data corruption; how much is unknown.
Thanks to BCD who has taken up the task of getting this running, and thanks to the Discord community that helps us when we get stuck.

Where do yout think the disk images came from?
2024-02-25 07:47:40 +0000 UTCThe OS/2 museum is investigating as well and created an unlocker: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/unlocking-netware-2-0a/ Can’t wait to see this running, some early computer memories are tied up in NetWare for sure!
