Early Video: Token Ring on IBM PS/2
Added 2025-07-16 18:18:29 +0000 UTCAs promised, got back at it this week to finish up the Token Ring IBM PS/2 video. It was definitely the disk format you saw at the end of the draft, I make a lot of progress after that!
Video goes live on Friday!

Token Ring is fascinating, but it sure does make me thankful for Ethernet.
