It came to mind because of how easy it is to use it to switch between
various DOS and DOS-clone type operating systems. If that's the case, and
these files are small, they could easily be hiding in a disk image file on
a hard drive somewhere.
Exactly.
I would assume it started on an MSDOS machine since I had
heard he was using Teledisk. I also suspect some just came to him that
way, since I've been able to find what I think may be the original
disks, but it isn't everything that was there. I've tried reading some
of them and it's a very mixed bag. They were stored in a garage and
I've run into some that got wet. I also found most of the hundreds of
disks from G. Herr that I sent him a LONG time ago. I have been able
to recover a few things that people have been looking for, like
TurboDOS 1.43
Just a thought, but did he use Linux or BSD? If so, maybe he maintained
his collection of files via DOSEMU?
