So I have this MO disk, but the MO drive in my cube doesn't work:
Is this software available in any of the various online repositories? I poked around a few of them, but didn't find it. Does anyone have this software, or have a working MO drive and could extract the software off of this disk into a compressed tarball or some other digital form?

Never heard of this software, but I would be willing to image it. I'm in the US.

I did find this (https://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Articles/NeXTWORLD/92.1/92.1.Spring.MediaStation.html)...apparently a single-user version was $1k back in the day :o Anyways, PM incoming :)

Neat! Another dead branch on the multimedia family tree. This one seems like a competitor to (offline) WWW, Hyper-G (https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2025/05/prior-art-dept-hierarchical-hypermedia.html), or MediaView (https://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Software/NEXTSTEP/Apps/Graphics/Multimedia/MediaView/MediaView.pdf) (especially that last one) rather than a HyperCard contender, but I guess the reviewer only had so many options for comparison. Kevra.org has some screenshots (http://www.kevra.org/TheBestOfNext/ThirdPartyProducts/ThirdPartySoftware/Multimedia/MediaStation/MediaStation.html).
