A New Discovery From the Time of the Ancients!

Dude found a copy of a lost computer OS from the 70s.

Today I was presented with a treasure. I am speechless. This 8" floppy disk contains the last known copy of the operation system for AI Computer of the ABC-20 series. It was expected to be lost and now I found it in the home of an old woman working with it in the late 1970s.
She is pretty hardcore, too. She used to design circuit boards with this very system, back in a time when nobody did it (everybody was using paper) and there was not a single woman in this business. She told me she had to take her husband to companies because nobody took her seriously.

She also gave me some floppies with software, like CAD and word processing. I have this system ( AI Computer ABC-26) in my collection for many years but I never expected to find anything like this. I heard only around 700 were sold in Europe, but have no real information except what one can find on Wikipedia.

We will now read and dump the content of the floppy disks and spread it to the world.
