Lotus 1-2-3 version 1A ancient DOS software
« on: Fri, 07 June 2013, 20:01:43 »
I came across an original Lotus package of software and manual.

Can't test because I don't have a 5.25" floppy anymore, but I think it is OK.

$15 shipped domestic US.

Perfect for your 1986 retro rig.

“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

Such an OG dataentry software, truly a piece of computer history. Wished I had something that could run it.

I have a 5.25" floppy drive, but it uses an old-style connector. I would love to figure out how to rig it to an outboard USB enclosure.

I will have to dig it out.

I have both cable and drive, it is the "naked contact" style where the cable piece sandwiches into the "C-shaped" socket on the drive.
