For this project, starting with version 3 of the beta, B builds were included separately. B builds strip out most media to drastically reduce the size compared to the original full version.
The following content is stripped out of B builds:
Video files
Video project files
Many image files
Audio files
Audio project files
Extra program files (Python, Audacity)
With this project, an album of 11 audio files is included in WAV format.
Here is the tracklist:
01 CDVDRAYCheck .wav 02 Chord.wav 03 Connecting to receiver.wav 04 Dead Chirp .wav 05 Exclamation .wav 06 Floppy check.wav 07 Shutdown sound.wav 08 Startup sound official.wav 09 System crash type A.wav 10 Virus Detected .wav 11 Virus removed .wav
Here is a link to the first instance of the full album on GitHub (build 4)
The total running time is 154 seconds (2 minutes and 34 seconds)
This is only the external hard drive edition of MEDOS, there are other versions available for different external storage mediums, such as:
MEDOS Floppy edition (only for virtual machines)
This version of MEDOS is designed for virtual floppy disk files to be used remotely through a virtual machine.
MEDOS Solid State Drive (SSD) edition
This version of MEDOS is designed to run on external Solid State Drives, either through a host machine, or remotely on a virtual machine.
MEDOS Tape drive edition (coming soon)
This version of MEDOS is designed to be run on a tape drive.
The MEDOS commercial was an old project within this project for a commercial for the product.
The commercial uses audio files of Stephen Hawking generated by Lingojam and talks about the future of dos over old operating systems and 286 computers (NON HTTPS LINK WARNING). The commercial is outdated.
This project has a few spelling errors that I cloned to GitHub. I didn't fix these, as they were originally like that in the original project, and I can't change it at all, as I want to have a complete archive with no differences (other than things added, or files I can't upload)
The only word that was misspelled in a folder/file name is Armenian (spelled as Armanian)
This project includes 2 third party, free and open source programs, for the Windows, MacOS, and Linux architectures, so you don't have to get them yourself. The included programs are:
