Turbo Pascal 1.0 Floppy
I was giving out a couple boxes of old Delphi and Turbo Pascal books last night at the users group. I have this habit of leaving odd things in books though, including large sums of money, so I have taken to inspecting my books before giving them away. A lot of them had the original CD’s or 3.5″ floppies (yes, that old) that came with them. One of them did have an unexpected bonus though.
A Turbo Pascal 1.0 floppy (5.25″ even!) Notice the lack of version number, and the copyright date of 1983. It is for IBM PC & Compatibles, not CP/M. You can download the contents of the disk for free, but it is kind of cool to have one of the actual disks.

This of course now requires you to find a 5 1/4 ” disk drive in another old book……………………..

Do you, by any chance, have a copy of the original Turbo Pascal “Book license”? Thanks.
