Found clean floppy disk images from MSDN sets, so build 528 of NT 3.1 now has a 5.25" floppy disk for CD-ROM based installs. Most translated versions have their floppy disks for CD-ROM based installs added, too. MSDN often contained whatever the latest service pack was at the time a set was made, those discs are here now too. Microsoft was cost-conscious of printing many CDs, so these are often combined with other software. A sole independent Windows NT 3.51 SP4 disc has been found and included here. Were other 3.x service pack CD-ROMs made? Most likely SP5 was, but I have not located one. Were 3.x service packs released on independent CD-ROMs from the MSDN sets? If so, they should replace the entries here. The resource kit CD-ROMs for 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0 are all included here. These contain companion software to the "Windows NT Resource Kit" book that was published. Even without the book, many of the utilities prove useful for the operating system. Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 has been replaced by a properly prepared/shipped disc from Microsoft with an autorun installer.
