Awesome thread! I really like OS/2. May I join ?
Some tips for OS/2 :
- The BIOS setting "OS/2 Onboard Memory >64M" is only for old versions of OS/2.
- Avoid long filenames for drivers. They seem to only work on HPFS.
- The ODIN compatibility layer lets you run Win32 applications. Like Wine for OS/2.
- OS/2 can provide up to 512MB of RAM for a Win-OS/2 session (doesn't require real RAM, uses swap memory aswell).
Real Win 3.1 can only provide a virtual memory three times the size of your RAM.
- Pro Audio Spectrum 16 soundcards are ideal for OS/2.
You can use the native part for OS/2 and the thunderboard part for WIN-OS/2 (or vice versa).
- To work properly, OS/2 needs at least 8MB of RAM. Remember, that's the minimum. 16MB is highly recommend.
- OS/2 has a safe mode. On boot up, if you see the OS/2 logo, press ALT+F1. It then generates a new Config.sys file.
