Where can I find BeOS R5...

Forum thread started by CuDobh on Mon, 2005-02-28 19:27

I made my first contact with BeOs a couple of months before they shut the company down.

At first I used BeOS PE but I wanted to install it "for real" on my computer.

I tried to get hold of a copy of BeOs R5 but ended up with a couple of e-mails saying it was no use to ask for it.

Is there anyone who can give me a hint where I can search for a, legitimate, copy of BeOS R5 (4 or 4.5.....)? I asked this question locally in Sweden where I live without any results...

Thanks for any help I can get!

However, you can install PE. Onto a real HDD. As big as you want. And Pro has bugger all extra in it.

I found it for a price that felt affordable, shipping included, at purplus.com.

That E-bay auction was cheaper yes but I'm not really in to that kind of trade...

Thanks to both of you for your help!

You could also download Developer Edition from Beosonline.com. Making the disk is a little tricky, maybe.

Or a BeOS MAX edition - both DevEd and BeOS MAX are based on R5 PE but CD-bootable and able to partition the HD during setup. Both come with developer tools already "installed" and both come with some updated driver support for newer machines.
