Hi Jim
If it is open for consideration I would recommend you first to install Warp 3 on a Virtual Machine (Virtualbox) on a host machine (Windows or Linux) for practice.
You require the floppies on Warp 3, there was no "boot from CD" edition on that version. So you need to grab the .DSK files from the CD, you require the first three diskettes and from that it will install from the CD.
On a VM I would suggest first to grab the three first diskettes images (the are inside the CD) and from the DSK format, transform it to .IMA (You can use
WinImage on Windows). And conver the CD to ISO. With those files run a VM and install the OS so you can get used on how was the install procedure.
On real hardware:Once you want to move to real hardware, you require the floppy drive, diskettes and to update the install diskettes so it recognize the CD and the HDD drive size (according to the size), just like Fahrvenugen suggest.
Depending on the hardware you will require to find the right drivers and install it to have network, better video, sound, etc.
If you install it and get some traps, messages and error, post it back here to check if we can help.
Regards
Note: I always wanted to create the "Updating Warp 3" wiki page just like I have for
Warp 4.52 but I never got the time to create it.
