I was once very much into OS/2. That was some time ago.
I have a 486/66 that has OS/2 Warp on it, and it's very sluggish, 8 megs of ram, 16 bit VGA.
Without wasting alot of time, money and effort, what are the limitations in
compatibility of OS/2 Warp 3/4, going past the 486 and ISA computer era.
Any feedback on those who might have experimented with this old OS on Pentium,
PCI and later technology would be great.
One experiment I did try, I did an image of the OS/2 hard drive, then recreated the
image onto a DOM chip, 512meg, the OS booted then an error came up saying it couldn't
start the HD, could be any number of reasons, the 16 bit IDE CARD, drivers?
