Digital Archaelology: Codex (Floppy Disk) #1

As promised in a previous post, I'm going to share the contents of various tomes (in the form of a box of 5.25" floppy disks) I discovered in a thrift store a long time ago, along with some others of my own that have not been accessed for years. I'm starting off with the ones I found, in no particular order...

On the first one, the label didn't really give much clue. Apparently it's bootable and I need to read the READ.ME file. The disk mounted and copied in Linux without any problem and here is the list of files that were there:

Not much of a clue there. The files are all dated from 1987 except the READ.ME which is dated 1989. So time to check out the READ.ME file. Here's the contents of that:

Well, it looks like we have some sort of porn related material here. A bunch of random 1980s era floppy disks picked up at a thrift store a decade or more ago and the first one I check out has porn on it. Not much has changed I guess. Eager to check out 1980s era computer porn, I installed DOS Box to see if I could get this to work. A few minutes later it was up and running.

Be warned, it's about as explicit as 1980s era low resolution two color porn can be...
