It predates the completion of OS/2 1.0 by some eight months. On boot, the following message is displayed on-screen: CP-DOS version 1.0 Copyright 1986,1987 Microsoft Corp. PIGSKIN Internal revision 7.68.17, 87/02/26 This prototype was designed to test two important new features of the Intel 80386 processor: paging and V86-mode. Most of the work on this prototype occurred between December 1, 1986 and February 28, 1987, with the principal goal of demonstrating multiple DOS applications running in V86-mode to BillG; that demo probably occurred in March 1987. However, another underlying goal was to demonstrate to IBM that Microsoft was ahead of the curve on 32-bit design considerations for OS/2. Up to this point, all OS/2 design and development work had been 16-bit, since the dominant state-of-the-art Intel CPU at the time was the 80286. The FOOTBALL prototype was based on pre-1.0 OS/2 sources, and the only hardware it supported was the Compaq DeskPro 386-16. The source code was later sent to IBM, who in early April 1987 was adapting it to run on the Model 80 PS/2. After OS/2 1.0 was finished in October 1987, FOOTBALL changes were merged into a fresh set of 1.0 sources, which initially was version 1.3 (also known as **PIGSKIN** and later **CRUISER**) but ultimately became version 2.0. A directory listing of this disk is provided [below](#directory-of-os2-football-boot-disk-v76817).
