[23:15:52] <exec> 08└─For that MCA 286, you would need a 286PS release of Xenix, which I'm not even sure existed; if it did, no known copies exist on the internet. Because the system accesses the hardware in protected mode and bypasses the BIOS, it needs specific drivers for the MCA drives. This is why the the 386PS rele...

[23:15:55] <exec> 08└─Windows 95's disk format was known as the Distribution Media Format [wikipedia.org]. I haven't seen OS/2 on floppies in a long time but it might have used the same thing.

[23:15:57] <exec> 08└─The absolute theoretical max for a high destiny 1.4MiB floppy is slightly under 2 MiB if you remove sector gaps and if you didn't use a file-system. I've never seen a disk distributed like that, the most common "increased media" size was Microsoft's Distribution Media Format (DMF) [wikipedia.org]

[23:16:00] <exec> 08└─The 95 might be too new; Xenix 2.2 386AT at least goes belly up with greater than 504 MiB HDDs, though that might work properly with the MCA hard drive. We recovered a serial number for the PS2 version and the media can be found through the links above. drussel: Pinging to get your attention.
