Please don't throw them out. :)

A long time ago Micoware sent me the Enhanced OS-9 for X86 Evaluation
CD v1.0. It has the evaluation package and the password-protected
upgrade package too. I don't believe the password protection was any
problem. I have a note with the CD saying the password was
X86-RNP9-8GN0-D#XN-5#EN . I don't know what version you have but try
that. I think I found it while browsing with a simple hex editor.

Let me know what you find. I've actually been wanting to play with it again.
