Hi guys, I'm trying to "collect" every single publicly released version of Memtest86+ in floppy image format (except the last one which was a beta). I'm only missing version 1.00, which archive.org doesn't seem have.
Filename is "memtest86p1_floppy.zip" (54.9 KB - MD5 : f85e4a553a1b278e165d02b3fb897aa3). If any of you have it, can you upload it here? I'll put it together with all the others and upload a 7zip file with all of them for convenience.

Thanx in advance.

Actually it's there, just buried in this subdirectory:

For information, latest memtest86+ that works on a 486 is v2.11.

I have been using 4.10 on my 386 and 486 machines without problems (to test RAM sticks I made and sold), later ones need a Pentum at least.

As Tiido also wrote above, 4.10 is the last version that runs on a 386.

However if V4.1 fails to work (as it does on my Packard Bell 486), then 2.11 is still your best bet for 386 and 486 systems.

Life isn't long enough to re-enable every hidden option in every BIOS on every board... 🙁

I'm trying Memtest86+ 4.10 on my 386DX-40 - indeed, seems to work fine!
