At one point, there was a web site (in Europe, I
believe) that had a
complete archive of the Coherent distribution. Unfortunately, Coherent
has very few drivers and those that exist don't play well with modern
hardware. For example, Coherent's disk utility for setting up file
systems absolutely has problems with drives of any reasonable size
today (I had problems getting it to work with an 8 GB IDE drive, for
example).
The question is, does anyone have a copy of the original (8086)
version of Coherent. The closest I've seen is the 286 version. Did
the 8086 version really exist, or was it just vaporware?
