This is an overview of small operating systems and Linux distributions, most of them work well on older hardware (pre-dual core era). eComStation delivers a proven virus free, zero-downtime, OS/2. eComStation is a reliable and secure operating system based on IBM OS/2 Warp.

And since OS/2 Warp 4.52 only works with Virtual Box, OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 users have been left out in the cold, literally. Ecomstation 2.1 Iso Download Apr 14, 2021. I had a feeling that the reason why OS/2 Warp 4 doesn't work with Virtual Box 2.1.0 (and later) is the requirement of Intel VT-x and AMD-v.

Not sure if it's related wanted to pass it along. eComStation is a reliable and secure operating system based on IBM OS/2 Warp. I found that if I unmounted the floppy, then remounted it and pressed Enter again, the system would then register the diskette change and proceed.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 may also be the last version that will work for OS/2 Warp 4 as well. I'm saddened to say that VirtualBox 2.0.4 was the last version that worked for OS/2 Warp 4. That's quite odd.I was hoping that you filed a bug report regarding your problems running OS/2 as a guest. Haven't tried 2.2.4 on Linux yet but the changelog doesn't list anything that looks like it might fix any of my problems there. Still get the Boot Manager "disk 1 is not ready" problem but I was expecting that. When it does boot, the screen redraw is at an acceptable speed and my USB hard disk is detected and does appear to work OK. It boots up about 1 time in 3 usually - either hitting "VirtualBox.exe has encountered a problem and must close" or terminating the VM with an error. I installed 2.2.4 on XP and then copied an eCS disk image over from the linux system and set that up. Had a chance to test this under Windows XP today and most of my issues listed above are not present there. I don't use USB in my guests, so my knowledge on that is very limited.Īre you running under Linux or Windows? Mine is Linux host, OS/2 guest using SNAP 3.1.8.
