Now, there's an interesting challenge--can one get
Windows (probably 3.x)
to fit on a single floppy such that generic GUI functionality (640x480
video, PS/2 mouse, etc.) is preserved?
Yes, at least one person could. He's a brazilian guy who made
"MiniWin", a one floppy with Windows 3.11 on it. I got an image of it
for testing purposes. He was planing to make additional floppies with
extra utilities and programs but I never heard from him again. I might
try to contact him again and see whether or not he did something else
about that.
Or, for that matter, could OS/2 (any version) be
likewise accommodated?
Well, how about QNX? They had an evaluation single 1.44MB floppy with
their operating system including the neutrino graphic environment. It
also had some software on in (browser, web server, editor, email
client, etc). Unfortubnately they took it out of their site some some
ago.
