Hi Cal:
I didn't do much of anything with CPM so wouldn't have any of that OS. Furthest back I did was 1978 using PL/I on
U of Mich mainframe via dialup on a LA36 DecWriter at 300 baud, thought we were really living it up when 1200 came
along. Storage in Ann Arbor was on 9-track 10" tapes at 1,650 bits-per-inch, then moved up to 6,250 BPI later. Had a
tape copy of all my PL/I stuff for many years, that finally got discarded in one of our moves.
I can set you up with a clean full install of MS-DOS 5.0 off the original 360K 5-1/4" installation floppys if that helps (!).
Might still have IBM DOS 3.3 and pretty sure I have a copy of latest last updated MS-DOS 6.22 on a 3.5".
Tried Red Hat LINUX awhile back, got it up & running but was stymied when I couldn't find a driver for the internal
modem to get the final packages & updates. Looking at maybe trying LINUX again on a clean 17" HP laptop that
runs Win10 great but is 1 generation too old to take Win 11 update, need recommendation on best package to use.
I have some other 1/4" streaming backup tape drives & tapes, that piggyback on the floppy controller, but would have
to search for the drivers to get them up & running. Same with the 100 & 250 ZIP drives & cartridges although I may
have one of the 250 Zips with USB cable.
Got rid of a lot of stuff 4 years ago leaving WY and still brought too much, HI.
