The IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 product provides basic TCP/IP networking support for the IBM OS/2 operating system. Numerous additional "kits" were available that added additional application or networking functionality on top of the IBM TCP/IP product..
This is a special OS/application CD-rom specifically for IBM Ultimedia computers. It contains pre-installs of OS/2 and Windows 3.x as well as Windows 3.0 Multimedia Edition add-on.
This is the diagnostic and runtime software provided with the IBM PC Voice Communications Adapter. It is a prerequisite for other software that makes use of this expansion card. The he IBM PC Voice Communications Adapter, released in 1985 was a digital signal processing card that supported a huge variety of functions including voice recognition, voice synthesis, audio recording, audio playback, telephone modem communications, telephone management, and telephone line monitoring.
The IBM Workplace shell is an alternate desktop shell for Microsoft Windows 3.1. It gives Windows the appearance and feel of the IBM OS/2 2.0 Workplace Shell.
Utilities and drivers for Intel OverDrive processors.
IntelliPoint is a set of mouse driver software for Microsoft's IntelliMouse series mice. It adds customizable buttons, mouse orientation, special effects, customizable pointers, magnification tool, and a tool bar, This software is redistributable but posted here for convenience.
Assisted MacOS users with connecting to the internet
Adds Japanese language support to MacOS
This is the driver disk for the Tall Tree Systems JDiskette floppy drive controller board. density 720k 5.25" floppy drives in an IBM PC or PC/XT, and supports up to four internal floppy drives. The included driver enables PC-DOS 2.x to make use of these larger capacity drivers.
The JLaser is a hardware memory expansion board for IBM PCs and clones indented to help operate new memory-hungry laser printers. The software also translates regular DOS text output in to formatted PCL. Notably, it contains a driver for Microsoft Windows 1.x/2.x.
These are the drivers used with the Tall Tree Systems JRAM series Multi-I/O RAM expansion card. Includes diagnostics, ramdisk, spooler, and clock support files.
These are the system disks provided for the Kaypro 16 computer. This includes a Master disk set for floppy-only operation, and an autoload set that installs to a hard drive.
Microsoft LAN Manager is a networking system for OS/2 similar to their earlier MS-NET product. Licensed variants of this product include 3Com 3+Open, HP LAN Manager/X, IBM LAN Server, and Tapestry Torus.
LANLink is a low cost networking program that is optimized for, and exclusively uses, common serial and parallel port connections. It features faster file transfer than other serial/parallel transfer programs, is easy to set up, and enables direct file and printer access.
Lantastic is an easy to use, low cost networking system targeted at small networks and home users. It was very popular and highly rated in the early 1990s. Unlike most LAN networking software of the time, Lantastic required only installation and minimal, straightforward, configuration. Lantastic gives users the ability to share printers and files on a hard drive or CD-ROM. It is considered a "peer-to-peer" network, as there is no need for a dedicated server. Any computer may be configured as a server as well as a client. Lantastic was also very memory efficient, using minimal DOS memory in both workstation and sever modes, enabling users to run most popular DOS applications while Lantastic was running. Lantastic supported Ethernet, ARCNET and Token Ring networks. Artisoft also sold networking kits that included both network adapters and the Lantastic software. Lantastic was avaialble for DOS, Windows, and OS/2. At the time it competed against Novell Netware Lite, and many other small LAN oriented products.
LIMSIM is a relatively easy-to-use commercial program for 286 based and later computers that emulates paged EMS memory using standard 286/386 XMS memory.
Logitech mice and pointing devices were popular competition to Microsoft or Microsoft clone mice. Logitech mice often had extra features that required Logitech drivers, and early Logitech mice were not Microsoft or Mouse Systems protocol compatible.
"Long File Names for Windows", from VIEW Software, is a commercial program that modifies Windows 3.1's save-as and open dialog boxes to use long file names, which it stores in its own database. Later versions can also be used under Windows 95 to store long file names for 16-bit applications. It competed against Vertisoft Systems Name-It.
A set of Apple hardware testing utilties.
Max Blast is a utility for setting up Maxtor hard drives. It includes a partitioning tool, BIOS overlay, bad sector re-mapping, and an advanced diagnostic program. It also includes 32-bit mode IDE drivers for Windows 3.1.
MAXLLF is a utility for low level formatting IDE (PATA) hard disks drives. Technically, on newer IDE drives this simply wipes the drive, but also forces bad/weak sectors to re-map to spares. Supports CHS and LBA up to 127GB and works with any brand of drive (not just Maxtor).
This is the software needed to test and operate a Baby Blue expansion card. The Baby Blue is a Z80 based CPU card that enables an IBM PC to seamlessly run CP/M-80 programs under MS-DOS.
Microsoft Diagnostics is a DOS-based diagnostic troubleshooting tool
Microsoft Direct X is a library addon/update for Microsoft Windows that adds or improves the ability to render high-speed 2D or 3D graphics, and use special input devices, mainly for games.
These are drivers provided by Microsoft for the Microsoft BusPort, serial, and PS/2 mice. Introduced in 1983, The Microsoft Mouse is historically important as it was one of Microsoft's earliest hardware products (The other being an Apple II Z-80 CP/M card). The first Mouse for the IBM PC was actually from Mouse Systems, not Microsoft. However, most clone mice emulated Microsoft's serial protocol and DOS driver software interface. The first Microsoft application designed to make full use of the mouse was Microsoft Word for DOS, and they hyped a product called "Microsoft Windows" (not released until several years later) that was to compete against the upcoming Apple Macintosh and the Mouse Systems based Viscorp Visi On.
