Was Software für meine Retro-Sammlung angeht, bin ich kein allzu großer Fan von OEM-Fassungen, wie sie immer haufenweise diesen Fertig-PCs beilagen, sondern suche mir bevorzugt lieber normale Retail- oder Einzelhandelsversionen. Allerdings sind letztere oft leider echt schwer zu finden und kaum mehr zu bekommen.

Bei Windows NT 4.0 hatte ich jetzt aber heute echt mal Glück! Für nichtmal 9€ konnte ich diese Vollversion auf CD-ROM ergattern. Noch komplett eingeschweißt und neu in Folie. Davon hatte ich bisher auch tatsächlich noch gar kein ISO Disc Image im Netz gefunden...

P. S. Hier nun für alle der Download-Link: https://archive.org/details/nt4_de-sp1_cdrom

From what I gather, #Windows #NT4 was basically #VMS in a new suit. They even repackaged some VMS terms into corporate-sounding acronyms. My favorite: HAL—once inspired by Kubrick’s “2001,” reborn as “Hardware Abstraction Layer.”
#wii is picky on USB keyboard, finally dug an old filco keyboard that is working on a wii. overhauled to make sure all keys(switches) are working and install #NT4 on it.

I had a bad fall from a bike a few days ago and my arm is still really weak, which has affected how much typing I can put into these posts. Still, I am getting better, and so here's two videos of people installing Windows NT 4.0 to Nintendo consoles, using an ISO of the install CD and tools and informati

Det här är nog min #favorit #översättning någonsin. Vi kan tacka #Windows #NT4 och #Microsoft för den.

Continuing the experiment of installing an OS on a 1996 #Thinkpad 760CD...

The #IDE hard disk is perfect. I've got a simple USB/IDE connector. The disk appears as /dev/sda1. In Linux, I add my user to the disks group, then in #qemu Virtual Machine Manager, I set up a new VM, attaching the #FreeDOS Live CD and specifying /dev/sda1 as the storage device. (I also needed to change the boot order.) Seems to be working - I can hear the hard disk whirring busily.

I'll try booting FreeDOS in the VM from the hard disk, then I'll copy over the #NT4 installation files, and see if I can start the installation in the VM. If so, I'll put the disk back in the Thinkpad and try the installation from there!

J'ai réinstallé #NiteTeam4 (ou #NT4 ) et je vais essayer d'enfin m'y attaquer, comprendre ce que je fais et avancer dans le jeu ! Avec un peu plus de bagage technique lié à mon métier, je vais peut-être me débloquer sur ce jeu de #hacking :D
