OS/2 on Virtualbox with 8 COM ports
ivan:
It is not surprising that there is so much 'odd' material listed in the config.sys because it appears to be a complete install of a very early version of Warp 4 including much of the bonus pak.
Should be very easy to apply the last fix pak and convert to SMP for the HP computers.
Dave Yeo:
I never could get my Warp V4 install to run for more then a minute in SMP mode.
Daniele:
So guys,
Monday I hope to find some time to try to clone an HD of one machine and run it on HP desktop.
If it works next step is to find a multiple serials pcie board that can workunder OS/2 and a 3com ethernet board....
Where I can find fixpack you tell? Is better to install in any case?
Thanks
Regards

Here's one place to start http://web.archive.org/web/20060926004818/www.warpupdates.mynetcologne.de/english/site_contents.html. A lot of dead links but file names to Google. For Warp V4, IBM should still have them on its FTP. http://web.archive.org/web/20060926005938/http://www.warpupdates.mynetcologne.de/english/base_fixpak40.html
Your are going to need FP15, which will update you to Warp v4.5, the device driver FP2, which will update stuff like the disk controller to handle large HD's. Probably a newer kernel and possibly more.
Finding a Convenience Pack 2 ISO image might be simpler, that is Warp v4.52 and would be more SMP safe if you care about using multiple cores. Likely unneeded for your use.
ivan:
For fix pak download and update kernels just look in the IBM FTP site as follows:
ftp://service.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/english-us/xr_m015/
ftp://service.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4.5warp/english-us/xr_e003/
ftp://service.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/update-kernels/
The big problem might be the need for a lot of floppies - there is a way round that and I will look up the ISO of the CD I made to allow running from CD. If you need that let me know and I will see if I can post it somewhere.
