Japanese version[edit | edit source]
The Japanese version of this build containing the x86 (IBM PC/AT and NEC PC-98), DEC Alpha, and MIPS architectures was included with the December 1994 issue of Windows World magazine (as "Daytona Trial Program")[3] and was dumped by ReflectiaX on 20 December 2020.[4]
The CD text claims that this version of the build expires on 31 January 1995, but when the build is installed past the aforementioned date, a message will appear to ask the user to obtain a retail copy of Windows NT 3.5. Despite that, it is still usable.
New features and changes[edit | edit source]
WINNT.BMP
has been updated to show the Windows flag natively again. Also, the bitmap is now in landscape instead of portrait format.- The "MPS 1.1 Multiprocessor PC" HAL has been added.
- Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) 2.0 support is introduced in this build.
- Added Bulgarian, Croatian/Slovenian, and Romanian keyboard support.
- Support for the AppleTalk network protocol has been added.
- The Sound Blaster driver has been enhanced to add support for the Sound Blaster Pro and 16.
CLOCK.AVI
is included as a test video file, which would be kept until its removal in Windows Vista.- The About dialog of
winhlp32.exe
has been replaced byShellAbout
. The copyright date has been updated as well, from 1990-1993 to 1985-1994. - New bugcheck codes have been added.[5]
A kernel thread terminated while holding a mutex
(0x4000008A
, later renamedTHREAD_TERMINATE_HELD_MUTEX
)- This unusual STOP code value seems to likely be a result of a typo (likely from copy and pasting) resulting in the bugcheck being considered a message, akin to those present at the boot screen. As a result, most modern documentation lists STOP
0x8A
as invalid, despite the intended value being the aforementioned STOP code.
- This unusual STOP code value seems to likely be a result of a typo (likely from copy and pasting) resulting in the bugcheck being considered a message, akin to those present at the boot screen. As a result, most modern documentation lists STOP
This system may be infected with a virus.
(0x8B
, later renamedMBR_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH
)
Setup[edit | edit source]
- This build removes the file system warning for Windows NT 3.5 beta users seen in builds 612 and 683.
- The disk examination during text-mode setup can now be skipped.
