I used to have a set of NT 5.0 Beta disks but not sure if they were before
or after support for Alpha was dropped. Anything prior to NT5 (which of
course was renamed Windows/2000) had Alpha support. Not sure when MIPS
support was dropped, 3.51 perhaps?

I still have my MSDN CDs from July 1995. A truly notable readme file is the
I386 Setup.txt. To install from floppies you need to find some high density
3.51 inch floppy disks.

That extra quarter of a millimeter really makes the difference, though.

Couldn't you compensate by using some sort of "disk expansion"

And the ROL (Random Oriental Lettering) decals. They are ESSENTIAL

Dragging this (temporarily :-)) back on topic, I happen to have a
WindwsNT 3.5
boxed set. I was given it when I was working at DEC, but it looks as
though it
was a proper retail package (and not an engineering prototype).
Most bits seem to say both x86 and Alpha Generation.
The CD says 3.5 and is part number AY-PYZVC-BH.
The part listing (date 05-JUL-95) says 3.5A.
There's a (still sealed) Digital Road Map for Windows NT (QC-02NAA-H8
... 1.1), looks like there's one CD inside.
Then there's some paperwork.
There are three x86 3.5" floppies and one floppy for Alpha (although it
just says release notes).
If this little lot is going to replace my pension plan, someone please
let me know :-)

Above a certain diameter they get mistaken for tunnels, with obvious
catastrophic consequences.

The CD-ROM and floppy diskettes seem to indicate that it's for
"x86 [Workstation]", except for the "Release Notes" diskette,
unless I'm overlooking something. Rather confusing, also as
the manual has both "x86" on it and the DEC "Alpha Generation"
logo...

I meant the box, actually.
(Unless the seller didn't take pictures of everything, the box
seems to be missing rather 'essential' content...)
