David, I'll explain my goal. In fact, early OS/2 had a bunch of versions that vary a bit. There were versions 3.5 and 5.25. There were versions that differ in the built-in service pak (CSD). There were localized versions. There have been many Microsoft OS/2 OEM versions, each with unique drivers and utilities supplied by the manufacturer.
I have studied the information on the Internet and the available copies/screenshots many times. Also, various IBM announcements, informational and promotional materials have been studied. if you can show photos of the labels of the Install Disk 0 from each package that you have, I can say with confidence whether these versions are in open sources or not. Bill, Compaq has released several versions and revisions of OS/2. Some of them have not been found yet. Please tell me, what is your version of Compaq OS/2? Found versions 1.00 (Rev. A), 1.10 (Rev. B), 1.10 (Rev. (C) and 1.21 (Rev. A). The existence of version 1.00 has been confirmed (Rev. B), but it has not been found yet. Also, version 1.10 (Rev. A) probably existed. All the versions mentioned above are English. It's interesting to find the ones that aren't found. As well as localizations, if they existed (I think German and French versions were released). Bill, Can you show me a photo of the floppy disk?
