128Kで800Kディスク使用可能ということでシステム再構築。アプリ3本同居にデータ保存用400Kディスクの動作確認は完了。128Kでしか使えないDiskCopyも問題なく起動しますが、DeskTopファイル肥大化で出し入れ回数が増えると予想します。勿論400K限定です。

It has been five years since Windows 11 Build 21996 unexpectedly leaked to the public, nine days before the Windows 11 reveal event.

FOUND IT! The Countdown to Extinction/Dinosaur novelization details all of the lore of the institute and what comes with it. If you all want to see the pages inside let me know and I’ll make a thread. Time to read 📔

Windows 7.5 (2011)
(basically if MS delayed Windows 8 by a year while they released a major update to 7 to fill the gap)

Spent the first half of this week reviving X11 SimCity (GPL Micropolis) on A/UX 3.1.1 - Apple's actual Unix
~52,700 lines of C (the city sim X11 custom Tk widgets) wrapped in ~9,800 lines of Tcl/Tk (the entire UI)
Tcl 6.4 / Tk 3.x - John Ousterhout's 1988 "glue language" its 1991 X toolkit.
Heavy C engine, thin scripting skin — which is exactly why I could rebuild the whole interface (new palette, modern menus, redesigned start screen modals, full-color tiles) without touching a line of the simulation.
Updated for the Summer of C89. 🌴
X11 SimCity for Unix (tcl/tk) running on A/UX 3.1.1
This version has a multiplayer interface, which I've never seen before.
This could be fun once I get it on the SE/30.
I need to replace the 8bit tile sets with 1bit versions
I'm guessing this has never been done before lol

Windows 95 was loaded on a 4.4 GHz Ryzen 9 system, and it actually worked!
A PCIe to PCI enclosure was used for a PCI sound card (Aureal Vortex), and a PCIe Nvidia 7900 GS GPU was inserted in the motherboard's PCIe slot.
The performance was a bit quicker than what the benchmarking software was expecting. 😆
