Yes, you read that correctly.

I have in my possession a TK-50 tape for the PDP-11 system which contains none other than
OS/2 operating system.

Many people have claimed this never existed. But I have the tape!
I had done a directory dump of it and can supply it.

One other person who's checked the directory listing has said it is authentic.

I'm not sure what to do with it, and I believe IBM made OS/2 open source, so technically it should be "free"
of it's chains

maybe someone can turn it into something useful, or just run it and have the most unique PDP on the planet, I don't know... whatever :)

anyhow, it's a really weird bit of computing history, and I'd hate for it to be lost. it should be in a museum :)

Dan.
