Description
A demo for Windows 95 and 98 by Phosphor Labs, first shown at Kingsville Bay Byte Fest in 2003.
Provenance
Bought as part of a box of disks at an estate sale and donated anonymously. The dye layer had begun to fail at the outer edge; the last sectors came from a second read in a different drive. Independent reads agree bit for bit.
