Some softlist update improvements for the five and quarter inch size floppy diskettes medium. (pre - PC AT hardware stuff)

ICEknight 's post https://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=117400#Post117400


Somebody has just uploaded the PC booter games from Demonlord's site over here:

According to the ibm5150 softlist, some of these had been MIA since the site went down.

What a contributor had uploaded (via another link from another forum from ICEknight's post) might somewhat help fill the missing gap here and there.


From the hash/ibm5150.xml hash file entry list is this known list of what is yet to be found and supported with many being boot-up type games.

The IBM additions might not be a fully working assembly line compared to the Apple II community at this time, but any current IBM floppy diskette preservation and updates helps out.


I hope to see more original IBM bootup games being added.
