Re: 10g: SQL Plus

Well, we have a good, working 5.25 floppy drive installed on our Oracle Museum PC (486, 25 MHz) now, and we're planning on installing WordPerfect 4.2, Lotus 1-2-3 (with the plug-in for Oracle, which Cary will bring over for the Database Forum next week), and other goodies. We have 5.1 running, and it's very, very fast to start up. Oh, and exports from 5.1 are fine to import in 9i. We haven't tested 10g yet.

We're showcasing this wonder - and the rest of the Oracle Museum for which some of you have so generously helped - at the 10g launch days next week here in Denmark.

Now, Mladen, would it be possible somehow to get hold of eg a zip of those 4.1 floppies?

We have of course ordered another 486 PC, and we intend to give it all of 4 MB of RAM like the other one.

The guy that sells all these things has a shop called Dinotech, and he still has about 9 new 5.25 drives from way back then. He'll sell for about 100 kroner each.

We paid 200 kroner for the IBM DOS 5 in its original wrap.
