Retail ULSI Math Coprocessors came with a utility diskette. The last I had seen a few years ago nobody had archived one of them yet. Does anyone have a source for one?
I know a few other ones like IIT have finally been found.
Thanks!
I have no seen ULSI's yet. Just the Intel and IIT plus some generics....

I have had this thing for years... time for the unboxing ceremony?
In 2003, I voted in favour of joining the European Union. However, due to recent developments - especially the restrictions on cash usage - I'm hereby withdrawing my support. DOWN WITH THE EU!

Wow! Nice ! Hope the disk is still readable. If you open the package just right (maybe just the top two pinch points and shake the disk out 😉 ) you can keep the never opened look since it one of those clam shells, ....

Is it supposed to open without cutting through the joints?

This one have snap button at corners. If the edge was not heat sealed.

The snap buttons must be heat-sealed, holding strong...
Edit: there's the instructions there...
"To open slide scissors between plastic and cut rivets"
New-in-box stuff is nice... but it's also nice to protect software from bit-rot...

You might be able to use a exacto knife or razor knife (like a box cutter/sheet rock knife) and just cut thru the top ones....just a thought

Been trying to archive everything I have, this seems like the best starting point. The disk image was also made on the same system as the mathco is installed and has been since the early 90s. I can also make a flux image of the disk too, just haven't set that all up yet.

Thanks ! Checked it with DiskImage viewer (IMDV) and it shows a disk full of data but when converted (IMDU) to raw file it only shows ULSI.EXE.
Is that the only file on the floppy disk ?

Yup. That's all that was on there.
