Forum rules


Please read the following rules before posting a download request in this area:

1. Don't post a request if you have under 10 posts as stated on the front page. If you do anyway, it will be deleted without further notice. This also applies to other members: If you see a request by someone with less than 10 posts and it hasn't been deleted yet, please don't reply to it.
2. Don't request for warez or any copyrighted software. Only betas (no matter how old or new) and finals of operating systems and applications that are at least 10 years old and therefore classified as abandonware are allowed to be uploaded to and shared on the BetaArchive FTP server.
3. If you have your own FTP server where you'd like other members to upload what you're looking for to, please don't post its login details in any open forum as that will probably lead to abuse. Post the login details in the Private Servers section instead.
4. Check that we don't already have the file on our FTP servers. If you don't have access to the FTP servers then ask someone who has (a moderator for example).

There's a copy of Windows 1.03 on the HP Museum site. I'm not sure if it's an OEM version (which BA FTP doesn't have as of 2011-09-08). The files are in Teledisk (?) format.

http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?sw=349


They have other copies of MS-DOS (3.2, 3.3, 4.01, 5.0, 6.0) and Windows (2.03) which may/may not be OEM and thus may/may not be of interest to BA.

I already tried converting them to IMG about a week ago but failed. If anyone else can get it to work, so much the better...

And obviously, it's an HP Vectra OEM version... 8-)

I can convert them with ImageDisk, there's an executable of it called TD02IMD.

Yes it does, it support: .dsk .ima .img .ufi .360 .fdi .td0 .imd .cqm .d77 .d88 .1dd

I'm a bit of a purest, if something is dumped in that format I like to have it in that format, converting something something from one format to another takes the Originality of the Dump away for me, As it's now "altered"

Not really if you just change it from TD0 to IMG for example... If you changed floppy capacity or something then you could say it was altered, otherwise no... ;)

Were Windows (2.03, 3.1) OEM versions? / worth uploading to FTP?

Windows 3.1 I'm not so sure if it's needed to be uploaded. I've installed it on VM and it's just like normal MS Windows 3.1, no customization. Looks like if it's normal Win 3.1 with HP labels on

Why do you need to know if it is OEM?There is no activation needed.You do not need to worry if you typed a wrong key or don't have a key.

The question is, "Was this build sent to an OEM (HP in this case) for them to pre-load on their computers" not "Does this build have OEM activation"

Yes, the text between the two lines is different than retail, but it was also uploaded by me some time ago...
