Sure...send me a copy! ;-) Used OS/2 during the Windows 3.1 era though I didn't bother using OS/2 for Windows sessions but just ran a combo of OS/2 and DOS. Is IBM still upgrading OS/2 at all.....I quit using it when they announced they were dropping releasing it to the general public and that was quite a few years ago now; never did get around to using v4. :-) Just out of curiosity is there any real reason why the average user would want to run OS/2 in this day and age? |

I need the SNAP VESA drivers as it is currently running in 680x480x16 OS/2 is alive and well and has a new identity under the Police Protection Program. http://www.ecomstation.com/ |

Heh! I hear ya..... :-) > > I need the SNAP VESA drivers as it is currently running in 680x480x16 LOL!! Now *that* is a familiar scenario!! OS/2's biggest shortcoming in the old days...lack of drivers. Huh....never noticed before that the Virtualbox setup menu has an option for running virtual OS/2 sessions; I'm to fixated with playing around with linux these days I guess. > > OS/2 is alive and well and has a new identity under the Police > Protection Program. > > [..] Cheers....will check out the site a little later on today. :-) |
