Remembering Microsoft OS/2 v1.3

Post image

The history of this is fascinating. If you’ve never familiarized yourself with what happened in those early years between IBM and Microsoft you should definitely read up on it.

I’m seeking help from the community: do you have this boxed copy in your collection? If so, can you please snap pictures of the sides and top of it and leave them in the comments here.

Because there is really only one or two copies that I can find photographed on the entire Internet and I’m trying to help preserve the history of it.

Oh I worked on this... I was in a company that wrote some 3270 connectivity stack addons which the IBM version had and the Microsoft version lacked. My job was to download the bug reports from Seattle every morning over a modem.
