We do also have a large quantity of MSDN CDs with developer copies of many Microsoft applications.

IBM OS/2 Warp

IBM OS/2 Warp

While we do have an archive of several versions of OS/2, one of our users was kind enough to donate this boxed copy of OS/2 Warp version 3 to us. Also included was an original purchase receipt indicating a cost of a couple hundred dollars. We have not yet had a chance to install OS/2 for testing and demonstration, but this will be looked into in the future.

Macintosh Software Section

Macintosh Software Section

We have a decent selection of original install media for MacOS versions including system 6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 7.6, and MacOS 8. Much of this was obtained by purchasing used Macintosh computers and all the original accessories from people looking to upgrade. The 7.5 install disks were obtained directly from Apple in the mid 90's using a loophole - Performa owners did not receive install media with new systems and could request Apple mail a copy.

OEM DOS/Windows

OEM DOS/Windows

This is just a small collection of OEM license certificates included with some old systems we claimed from corporate hardware recycling. This includes keys for Windows 95, Windows NT Server and Workstation, and also MS-DOS 6.2 OEM install media.
