Gen’s rich history
Thomas Ochmann from Akra Software Development sent me some fantastic photographs of Gen’s rich history – you can click on them in the gallery below. Gen has been around for more than 20 years, as you can see from some of the dates on the media (anyone remember 5.25 inch discs ?). Particularly amusing is the collection of Gen “merchandise” he has – from Sterling Penguins to JMA mugs…
Many thanks to Thomas for sending them in, and I hope that you all get enjoyment and possibly bringing back memories from the past by looking at them !
EDIT: See the request from Thomas for old installation media: can anyone help ?

[...]A reader of this blog is an avid collector of old Gen installation media, specifically MVS. he is also interested in other Gen-related media – books, videos [...]
Hi to all,
I hope you like it
I’m seeking old tapes or other old data storage medium with Gen/IEF installation for mvs..
I promise put them in our AKRA-IEF showcase and post photos of them to Gentalk
