I need a bootable setup floppy image of Acronis OS selector.
In order I that I can setup a dual O/S on an early laptop.
I'd guess this was once free and for early versions of O/S.

Looks like it was included in Partition Expert 9.0 beta.
That is apparently when it was introduced and you would need to buy a copy if you want the non-beta version of 9.0.
Also looks like the beta version had issues with Partition Expert but worked fine if you installed it by itself.

Ah, well, you should be able to use almost any boot manager. Do you have any unusual requirements?

Not really ..other than both OS will need to be seperate primary partitions ..

so isolation is key..as both will be fat 32.

Search PLOP Bootmanager , it's awesome
I really like PLOP. Others have recommended the bootloader that comes with XFDISK. That one looks handy as well.

Thanks guys ..
I'll run a search for plop ...though in UK parlance Plop is also excrement ..so gawd knows what the search will reveal 🤣
😉
A search for "plop bootloader" should cut it down.
