I need your help!
This floppy was destroyed by the preowner, and I seem unable to locate a disk image for this driver version anywhere.
Maybe someone has a good source?

Our Thinking Machines Connection Machine will be moving into our extended gallery next month!

Here it is on display at the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle's International District.
THINKING MACHINES: THE CONNECTION MACHINE

Cool to see what’s new with the old!
Dave Plummer stopped by and gave us one of his mesmerizers which we almost immediately attached to the side of the Honeywell 6180 Multics maintenance panel.
We're in the process or lighting up our Thinking Machines CM-2 which uses a Symbolics 3670 LISP Machine as its programming front end. The CM-1 was introduced 40 years ago in 1985 and the CM-2 in 1987. While this CM-2 is a single quadrant, we plan to simulate a full CM-2 and have its iconic "deep thought" lights running. Here you can see our lamp panels displaying a clock. This work was done by Jeff Kaylin.
A year ago today we had just 17 members as we took on the Remote Systems from Living Computer Museum. This morning we just reached our 307th member: Dave Plummer of Dave's Garage!

We will be presenting "Recollections" at VCF West at the Computer History Museum next month. Access these systems now and experience historic operating systems and programming environments online from home!
The Pig and her poster have been reunited. MissPiggy ran XENIX-11 at Microsoft from 1979 to 1987. These days, misspiggy runs Version 7 UNIX from which XENIX was derived and its disks are virtualized so they can run under simulation and the real hardware.
Please support our preservation efforts at https://icm.museum
We have a partial backup of MissPiggy and one day hope to run XENIX-11 on it once again.
I pushed an update to #DOStodon (the #Mastodon client for MS-DOS):

Part 2 of my journey to save one of my favorite games back in my childhood from getting lost to time is live!
This time, we'll start digging into the game files, assess the damage, and plan our route ahead.

We're just 5 people away from reaching 300 supporting members. Would you help us reach our March 2025 goal?
Members can request personal logins on our 26 Remote Systems, but guest access is open to all.
Thank you for supporting our efforts!
