Download here. Looks like this is the last build that requires a beta site ID and password to install.
Also found was beta 1 of Microsoft Bob, still using its codename Utopia (download here), and a floppy version of Windows 95 build 302 (will be processed later). I'll probably also upload some other minor app stuff to the FTP as well.

Nice find Overdoze! 889 is definitely interesting.

Also found an early build of WinPad with the associated Preliminary Development Kit (PDK) from September 1993. Disk 6, which contains debug binaries, is missing, but you can install and use WinPad without it. Download here.
You have to use The Distractor's batch file and an NT 854 ISO. After running the batch and the YNC prompt, switch the disc to 889 and it will install the drivers. Meanwhile, copy OFS.REG to the hard drive. Now reinsert the 854 CD and go to GUI\IDW. Run regini path\to\ofs.reg. After it is done, restart and you have working OFS!

A beta build of Microsoft Bob? Why...that's as rare as a beta build of Neptune. How did you ever find this. However you did it I still thank you SO MUCH and appreciate that now we have at least 1 build preserved.
Great finds! I will put them on the FTP as soon as possible. It's busy times unfortunately so the uploads are stacking up, but I will take care of it as soon as possible.
