Anything made in that period is inaccessible from our local instance,

Why would it be? It makes no sense that age matters. I just arbitrarily searched for a community that was newly created on one instance from another instance, and it was found. I had to wait around 3 seconds because the check is done in realtime.

Thanks! That was helpful!

Looks like a good tip. Found this:

The specs say it’s Marvell 6281 1.2GHz… not sure what that is but the search leads to some deeper specs for a RISC CPU that is both 32bit and 16bit. The info is dicey because “6281” does not appear in those docs. In any case, I suspect you’re right, that it’s not 64 bit.

No, I figured if I could recall the name I could get a nostalgic fix by searching it. I found this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview

I recall DESQview was much lighter weight and better performing than Windows, but had limitations. I did not recall that the windows were text only within, but that’s starting to fill some holes in my memory.

To be fair, I was quite vague. I think there are multiple right answers… but I recalled one starting w/a ‘D’ and that’s what I was trying to recall.

In those days, DOS was the OS. Windows and DESQview were just window manager apps that ran other apps.

What is that? I don’t think that’s what I had in mind. I think it’s DESQview I was trying to think of. Anyway, not important… it was just driving me nuts I could not remember.
