[LOOKING] OS/2 1.x, Word/Excel for OS/2 related stuff
Man42:
Dear OS/2 World Community.
I've been studying the chronology and early history of OS/2 (1.x/2.0) for a while now.
It is extremely difficult to find any information, since many years have passed since the release of these products.
I'm looking for any material related to early versions of OS/2.
OEM releases and localized versions are especially interesting.
I'm looking for literally everything: photos, scans, screenshots.
Thanks to collaboration with Martin Iturbide, it was possible to expand information about existing OS/2 releases.
It was on his recommendation that I decided to turn to this forum.
Perhaps someone still has a rare package that fits the described criteria? It would be interesting to see photos of the box, floppy disks, and screenshots.
In addition to OS/2, I am interested in information about Word/Excel for OS/2.
I'm looking for photos of boxes and disks. I know this is very difficult to find.
May be if some of you saved this?
Has anyone come across CorelDRAW 2.0 for OS/2?
Tell me about this rare version.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
–Man42

Sorry I can't help with CorelDRAW 2.0 for OS/2 but I do have a working copy of CorelDRAW 2.5 for OS/2 for OS/2 v 2.0

Hello
I had been in contact with Man42 for a little more than a year and he had helped me to improve a little bit the OS2World wiki with some old OS/2 releases that I never knew it existed.
I'm also looking forward for some old OS/2 software pictures like boxes, diskettes, etc.
Regards

If it helps, here's a photo of an old OS/2 Extended Edition v1.1 package and contents...

Dear Alex,
Thank you very much for your photo. This is one of the lost versions!
I'll try to explain. The copy of OS/2 1.10EE available online is the UK/International version. Your copy is obviously American/US.
My library doesn't have good information about this either. Could you take a few more photos?
I'm interested in photos of the following components (with legible text):
–Back side of the box
– Photos of the disk label (P/N information is important to me)
Ideally, I would like to see disk images so that I can make a file-by-file comparison to see if there are any differences with the UK version.
But not all participants have the opportunity/desire to provide disk images, therefore, I will not insist on this request.
However, if you have a copy of the files, I can describe a file-by-file comparison algorithm that does not require effort and painstaking work.
I don't know if the UK/US versions will be different because the 1.00EE US/UK versions are 100% identical and the 1.20EE US/UK versions have significant differences.
In any case, thank you very much for the photo :)
Best regards.
