Re: [9fans] software archaeology
Not bad, not bad... now what aren't you willing to admit to? :) haha I also have two different copies of the 3rd Edition plan9.9gz, one from 2000 and one from 2001, plus a handful of patch 9gz files, and one floppy image that I can't get to boot. I have printed 3rd Edition manuals but Charles was out of boxed sets by the time I tried to make a purchase. I'm happy to share all the 3rd Edition stuff I have, but I was really hoping that a different variation of the 3rd Edition boot floppy would shake out from this. However, thanks for looking! Also, what's on your 3rd Edition CD? Is it bootable, or is it just the plan9.9gz burned onto a disc?

If a 3-1/2" USB floppy drive would make this easier, I have one sitting unused in a box and will gladly send to you on my own dime without any strings attached. -joe On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 12:20 AM, Steve Simon wrote: > hi, > > i have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ed floppies, a bigger problem will be to find a > floppy drive... > > i will try and generate some images. > > -Steve > > > > On 5 Feb 2018, at 04:24, Benjamin Huntsman edu> wrote: > > Bizarre and random question, but anyone still have any of the original 3rd > Edition floppy images around? > > > Also, anyone remember, did the web-based floppy builder from back in the > day actually do anything other than tweak the plan9.ini? > > > Thanks! > > >
