Hi all fellow OS/2 users out there...
I'm Nino Solazzo, I'm a student at 'La Sapienza' in Rome. I am building
the basis to my next exam on operating systems. My teacher assigned me
a research on history of PC and, in order to complete my research, I
would like to quote and illustrate deepily OS/2, it's importance on PC
and PS/2 evolution, write an article on it and take screenshots of the
most important versions and releases of it.
A real important version of OS/2 is OS/2 1.1 of which, unfortunately, I
don't have a working version; this is the reason why I am asking your
help here.
OS/2 1.1 was released back in 1989, beta testing started in 1988;
Shortly after it's release, OS/2 1.20 came out, with a new filesystem,
HPFS and new features. But OS/2 1.1 was maybe the most important OS/2
version ever : it's most important feature was PM, Presentation Manager,
fast
and reliable, that we still use today when running Warp. OS/2 1.1 is
thus the first operating system for PC with a GUI, the first OS/2 with
Presentation Manager. Yes, it has probably no value today except than an
historical one.
What I am asking you here is to help me, to send me a copy of OS/2 1.1
if you have one. I still don't have a working version of it. If you
could send me only the first installation disk of OS/2 1.1 it would be
very
appreciated. My only purpose, aside my exam, is to give OS/2 the
importance, the respect it deserves in PC and PS/2's history.
Thanks in advance,
Nino Solazzo
P.S. I am sorry for any off-topic generated. I am not interested in any
other version than OS/2 1.1 . Please contact me directly at
