BetaWiki wrote:The Workstation edition of this build was leaked by a warez group in 1994, but the floppy disks were mistakenly dumped in 1.44MB images instead of DMF (1.68MB), resulting in unrecoverable data loss. This means most of the disk images are broken and the Workstation build is unusable.
Is this edition available anywhere? It may be possible to make it work using files from the Server SKU of this build. Judging by the description on the betawiki page, workstation sku was really leaked.

I'm not sure in 100%, but it seems to me that the kernel of the system is damaged... The Workstation edition I cannot restore.

Update:

progman.exe is broken. This file is irreplaceable.

Well yeah, the BetaWiki page says that all of the data was lost...
Is AlphaBeta really brainwashing us though? *hehe*

I thought that at least the kernel is intact, so I decided to check. There may be bugs on BetaWiki. I don't trust its 100%.

This means that the topic is no longer needed and it is complete ... I think the site moderators will close the topic.
