[OS/2 Warp]

Hello,

Recently I've been doing some tests running OS/2 Warp 3 and OS/2 Warp 4.52 on both Virtual PC 2004 and VMware 5.5.1. Here are some of my results.

Virtual PC 2004

OS/2 Warp 3

-> Installs correctly

-> During installation reboot required to add BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT to config.sys

-> Virtual PC Addons cause trap on restart after installation

-> Installed DEC 21x4 network adapter driver (Found on http://hobbes.nmsu.edu)

-> Banyan Vines client works correctly.

OS/2 Warp 4.52

-> OS installed easily, no problems visible

-> Virtual PC Addons installed and working

-> Installed DEC 21x4 network adapter driver (Found on http://hobbes.nmsu.edu)

-> Banyan vines client will not work (OS issue not Virtual PC issue)

VMware 5.5.1

OS/2 Warp 3

-> Installed

-> Used AMD PCNet 32 drivers for network support (Found on http://hobbes.nmsu.edu)

-> OS performance is EXTREMELY slowly. Could be virtual machine settings

-> During installation reboot required to add BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT to config.sys

OS/2 Warp 4.52

-> Using IBM installation CD's, OS would not boot.

These are just some of the results I have achieved thus far. I plan on continue working with OS/2 Warp 3 on Virtual PC. Hope this helps,
