Below are selected [PCx86](/docs/about/pcx86/) demos of classic IBM PC applications. In many cases,
|
||||
we've had to create our own "Demo Disks", because copies of the original distribution disks are difficult
|
||||
to find, and in some cases (e.g., [Executive Suite](1982/esuite/)), the original disks were copy-protected,
|
||||
so we've been forced to use a "cracked" copy of the software instead.

IBM PC Disk Library
|

-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Our [IBM PC Disk Library](/disks/pcx86/library.xml) lists all the [Disk Manifests](#disk-manifests) in the
|
||||
[PCjs Project](/docs/about/) and makes those disks available to any [IBM PC Machine](/devices/pcx86/machine/)
|
||||
in the project that uses the library.

The [IBM PC Disk Library](/disks/pcx86/library.xml) lists all of our [Disk Manifests](#disk-manifests)
|
||||
and makes those disks available to the project's [IBM PC Machines](/devices/pcx86/machine/).
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever possible, PCjs archives copies of original distribution diskettes. Exceptions include the application
|
||||
"Demo Disks" that we've created for our [IBM PC Application Demos](/apps/pcx86/). PCjs may also make minor changes
|
||||
to a disk's boot sector, to ensure that all PCjs disk images can be mounted in modern operating systems. This is
|
||||
documented, for example, in the description of the [PC-DOS 0.90](/disks/pcx86/dos/ibm/0.90/) disk.

"Demo Disks" that we've created for our [IBM PC Application Demos](/apps/pcx86/). PCjs may also makes minor changes

to disk boot sectors, to make it easier to mount the disk images in modern operating systems.
|
||||
[macOS](http://www.apple.com/macos/) has built-in support for mounting *.IMG* disk images, and Windows can mount
|
||||
them with the help of third-party software like [OSFMount](http://www.osforensics.com/tools/mount-disk-images.html).
|
||||
See the description of the [PC-DOS 0.90](/disks/pcx86/dos/ibm/0.90/) disk for an example of boot sector modification.
|
||||
|
||||
The summary below is not a complete list of everything in the library, just highlights. For some of the disks,
|
||||
we have provided more information about the software, and in some cases, machines that automatically run the software.
