My old archive for perusal

I have just emptied out my old BeOS box from back in the day which has been mostly untouched since 2001. A Pentium III 866/512MB/120GB IDE disk. I think i downloaded most of this back in 2001.

I have put the contents here:

It works with Netpositive version 3 as long as you right click and save as - and the ancient “bon echo” firefox that i had on there, the regular Netpositive browser does not seem to work.
I am going to go through some old disks and stuff as well so there might be more software, hope some of it is useful for anyone and you might want to archive it somewhere else as this host might go down in September of 2026.
It is unsorted for the most part, so might take some time to look through it. Hope you find it useful and that some of this stuff is “new” again.

Thanks for sharing. I was especially excited to see the Genki CD archive as I’ve been on the lookout for this for a long time.

Is this the only copy you have of it or do you have the actual CD? The zip contents result in a non-bootable system (“boot device not found” error). If you have the disc a bin/cue (or similar) dump would be fantastic to see.

Although it’s not bootable, it still let me finally run the original “Benoit’s Mix” release of 3dsound which was nice.
