Gregory's Server@andreww oh, do you have the demo somewhere? I would love to try it out on my 286!

 @nina_kali_nina BTW I'm still working on getting my entire OS museum VM ready to upload. It's taken a bit longer than I thought. I may have gotten a bit too carried away with installing OSes from my backlog. I've been collecting emulated OSes for 20 years, but there were several years where I was downloading stuff but not installing anything. @nina_kali_nina At least now I've only got a few things I want to install, and then I just have to write a simple GUI launcher, clean up some of the metadata/scripts, and actually package it as an image. The initial release will have over 1600 images representing over 600 distinct OSes for over 250 platforms (of course, both of these BTRON OSes are going to be included) @andreww awesome!!! Great job! Can't wait to see what OSes I will discover there, and what OSes I know about that you don't have in there yet :) @nina_kali_nina I've still got a pretty significant backlog of install images as well, although I'm going to save most of that for later release. Pretty much anything I consider to be of particular historical significance will be in the initial version though. Much of my remaining backlog is hobby OSes, some of the more obscure 8-bit OSes, and other versions of some of the systems I already have installed. @nina_kali_nina That's only counting OSes that already run in emulation though. I've also go a bunch that currently don't run in emulation but I plan to fix the appropriate emulators to get them working. The first of those is Atari Unix System V (which starts to boot in Hatari but crashes). I'll definitely be documenting this and all my future emulator development projects on my YouTube channel and blog |
@nina_kali_nina Yes, I've uploaded both the 1B/V3 demo and Chokanji 4 to the Internet Archive:
https://archive.org/details/1bv3_demo
https://archive.org/details/brightv4000
Both of these include both installer and pre-installed images (PCem for 1B and QEMU for Chokanji)
I've never actually tried to run 1B/V3 on an actual 286. The PCem configuration is for a Pentium
