Creating New Installation Media for MS-DOS 4.0

On April 25, 2024, Microsoft released the source code of MS-/PC-DOS 4.00 to the public, and the community managed to provide MS-DOS 4.01 as well.

While the original release was available as a set of six 5,25" floppy disks (and optionally three 3,5" disks for version 4.01), this open-source release does not have official installation media.

Time to fix it!

I bet yall don't remember this one.

This is a picture of the eclipse that was over my house back in April.

I knew the exact moment of totality not because the sky turned black but because the school up the road had a viewing party for the kids and they screamed with glee when it happened.

Mechanicon 2024 is going great! So many creative and curious people sharing their ideas and finding out what else there is to see. @stdevel told me “You think you have seen it all, but then you see something at Mechanicon and you realize, that there is no limit.”

Oh and of course it has RGB 🤣
