Is there an archive somewhere of older Hercules binaries/source zips ? I'm looking for 3.05 or earlier.

Hi ***@sympatico.ca,


It looks like the source code for old(-er) releases can be found at the
github page, but no pre-build binaries :

https://github.com/rbowler/spinhawk/releases


But I'm curious: why would you want these older releases ?

I seem to recall that there was an OSA change and that you need to have 3.05 or earlier to run something like OS/390.

Hi,


Well I'm certainly no expert on the matter, so perhaps I should really just
let the experts weigh in on the matter.

Having said that (sorry, cant help myself) ... that statement seems a
little odd to me, at the very least. I would expect 'newer'
Hercules/Hyperion versions to (better) support 'newer' emulated hardware,
and the operating systems that require it.

Anyway, Ill crawl back under my rock now.
;)

Some of the binaries are still on www.hercules-390.org <http://www.hercules-390.org> . Copy the URL and manually change the version. Because of the way the windows versions were built the names changed. See:-



https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20080701053537/http://www.hercules-390.org <https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20080701053537/http:/www.hercules-390.org>



for the 3.05 versions, but if the current version is not working with any OS please submit a bug report
.



Dave
