With the death of Watcom and looming end of RIM I think Waterloo tech and ICON is pretty much dead.

We need them to do a ROM dump before the system dies of old age. :/

Preferably software disks too.

From what I gather it wouldn't be too difficult to write one, as there are plenty of 8086 cpu cores out there, but I've never seen any icon ROM dumps, nor any of the QNX software disks……

It'd be a LOT of work to play fur trader though… 🙂

Evidently the government destroyed the whole system and it's impossible to find anywhere. This greatly saddens me.
