I've spent last two days researching on subject of Apple's Network Software Installers and their release dates by looking at various Network Resources (ResEdit file) creation dates. This is what I was able to find out so far:

1.2 - 17. Mar '92

1.3 - 22. Nov '92

1.3.2 - 3. Jun '93

1.3.3 - 22. Jun '93

1.4 - 23. Aug '93

1.4.1 - 30. Sep '93

1.4.2 - 24. Jan '94

1.4.3 - 22. Feb '94

1.4.4 - 24. Mar '94

Regarding my search for NSI's with FDDI components included, this is what I have at the moment:

1. 'clean' Network Resources 1.3 file dated 22. Nov 92 (source - DaynaPort Ethernet installer)

+ modified FDDITalk Phase 2 - v.1.0 creation date 18. Dec 92. (source unknown)

2. 'clean' Network Resources 1.4.1 file dated 30. Sep 93 (source - Cabletron FDDI installer)

+ 'clean" FDDITalk Phase 2 - v.1.0.3 creation date 30. Sep 93. (source - Cabletron FDDI installer)

3. 'clean' Network Resources 1.4.4 file dated 24. Mar 94 (source - some Apple Developer CD)

+ 'clean" FDDITalk Phase 2 - v.1.0.4 creation date 24. Mar 94 (source - some Apple Developer CD)

These last two thanks to protocol7

Oldest traces of FDDI so far are in MPW SampleCode file CheckFDDI.a, creation date14. Dec '91

I was able to find out that NSI 1.4 was included in Apple Developer CD November 1993 and spent almost 5 Hours d/l it from one particular place. Much to my frustration, it turned out that it had 'regular' NSI 1.4 included, with no FDDI components at all xx(

Would anyone of you with Developer CDs collection, be so kind and check them for anything related to FDDI and Network Software? It will be highly appreciated! Ideal time span would be between November 1991 and December 1994.

TIA,
