Want to see the earliest resident monitors? The ancestor of all modern OSes (CTSS)? The earliest versions of Unix? The first OS with a desktop metaphor GUI (Xerox Star Pilot/ViewPoint)? Early versions of mainstream OSes? If you want to explore historical OSes and platforms without having to worry about configuring/installing emulators and OSes or corrupting emulated installations, you’ve come to the right place.
Just about every well-known OS and platform (and also a lot of obscure ones) is included in some form, spanning the entire history of stored-program computing from the Manchester Baby of 1948 (the first stored-program computer) to the present day.

Added to my seed box will seed for as long as it keeps getting traffic. 10Gbps upload of both versions. Honestly this will most likely be torn apart, reduced or removed soon. I will turn around and upload it to a few other private trackers to keep it alive.

BeOS?
121 gig download fyi
I thought it said 170. But that’s the full version. 20GB for the shell & OS’es d/l a la carte.
That’s decompressed, so you’ll actually need near 300 gigs of free space.
It’s a big download but honestly 500 gig drives are really easy to find, often free.
