Now I'm "recovering" system from your CD. Despite it's bootable, the Packard Bell PB640 couldn't boot from it, so I had to extract OSBOOT floppy. I can see all the results tomorrow. Excellent! I appreciate your efforts. Despite using that NEC for the entire second half of the 90s, this is the only …

You could install/recover your system on 86Box, and then take files from virtual hard drive with WinImage or something else. On VirtualBox I wouldn't get those screens with 256 …

Anyway, I really wanted to see the actual videos again, but my Win 10 machines predictably wanted nothing to do with SETUP.EXE no matter what I did. I ended up teaching myself how to bring up a virtual XP desktop using Oracle's VirtualBox so that I had something I could actually install it on, and …

Amazing. Thank you! Unfortunately, those video files only play audio on my end. I tried a few different programs. I wonder if the actual video output is embedded elsewhere on the CD. Oh well, I appreciate the attempt! No, video files here are complete and play successfully on included Quicktime 2.0 …

In it was my NEC 962X recovery CD (note "Tri Films Merlin II"): nec-recovery-cd.jpg And something I've had living in the vague recesses of my memory for decades now -- a standalone installer for Merlin himself, version 2.0: nec-merlin-cd.jpg I've downloaded your copy, but only yesterday have looked …

I apologize for necro-ing a thread this old but I have a rather curious story to tell. Don't worry, it's okay. My friend really wants to find Merlin again. I realize this is ridiculous but, please, if it is at all possible, could you make an ISO of that disc or … or SOMETHING? I'd also accept just …
