I got some interesting bits today :
For the 380z Sbas, bcpl (4 disks), txed, zasm, cp/m 2.2 and 1.4 and Wordstar.
For the Nimbus Windows 1.01 (Which I've never seen), write 2.0,
various version of RM basic and Msdos 3.05.
I'd like to see windows booted up the earliest version I've seen is
2.x (can't remember).

Hmm, RM Windows would be interesting. I've got an RM laptop with 2.x on
it, but maybe 1.01 would run on it too.
I *think* I have copies of all those 380Z disks, but I'll check when I
get back to the UK...
cheers

o man, I'm in the states Dan, and I've wanted a Nimbus
for some time now. I hope you'll make the stuff
available. The best thing to do is make copies of the
disks immediately (actual "disk copy's" to new blanks
- to insure the boot sector is transferred, prior to
playing with them. The old media can crap itself right
in the middle of a read. Don't mean to insult your
intelligence, just that some people are necessarily
aware. Thanks.

I've got 2 Nimbus' but no monitor for either of them, though there's another
machine plus a monitor waiting for me in north wales if I can ever get over
there to pick it up (or Lee D. can if I can get the address :o))
Wouldn't mind seeing windows 101 myself, though it's just a glorified
DOSSHELL running on top of DOS 5. 'ugly' doesn't do it justice!

I think you mean DOS 3.2. At least windows v1.0x could multitask well
behaved (i.e. i/o through BIOS) text mode applications. (On my V30 machine I
used to compile in the background while playing C-robots in the foreground
on an 800x600 interlaced display). Multitasking had to wait for
windows 3.0to reappear, and then you needed a 386.
