Hi All
While browsing osnews.com I saw this:-
Mypal68: Firefox 68, maintained for Windows XP
Thom Holwerda 2025-07-17 Mozilla, Gecko 9 Comments
Do you have a Windows XP retro virtual machine or, god forbid, run Windows XP on your primary machine? You’re going to need a sort-of up-to-date browser, and it turns out Mypal68 offers just that. Terrible name aside, it’s Firefox 68 ported to and maintained to run on Windows XP SP3; SP2 and lower are not supported, but some people do seem to have some success getting it to run on those.
There are issues, of course: there’s a 1.5GB memory limit, and the browser will crash when it reaches that limit, and 64bit builds simpy don’t work at all, so there’s only a 32bit build. Version 74.1.0 was released a few days ago, but that version number doesn’t actually mean the browser is now based on Firefox 74; they had to change the reported version number for extension compatibility.
Could "a sort-of up-to-date browser" currently "maintained for WindowsXP" be of interest to us OS/2 users?
Would it be easier to port than Dooble + qt5/6?
If any of our "Mozilla experts" fancy taking a look: https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68

For new user trying it output:
[D:\OpenTTD]openttd
Error: No available language packs (invalid versions?)
the important thing to look for is to check what version you're trying of OpenTTD and download the Windows-32-bit .zip (for OpenTTD 14.1: "openttd-14.1-windows-win32.zip") package that contain all the files needed, unpack them (except openttd.exe) next to openttd.exe by Paul.
You might be overestimating my interest levels in getting midi working
>BTW do you have an SSD in the T43 ? Or a disc with revolving platters ? You can install an SSD I think in T43 if you have not done so.
No workey for me. Per Thinkpad Forums.
Some people have luck with using m2>ide sleds. Maybe it depends on model of ThinkPad, maybe it's the m2 adapter, tends to be in the air.
I also tried a real transcend solid state ide drive.

Also, if you very electronically talented, you can convert a T43 to run SATA, but that's above my pay grade and no one does that thing commercially.
Dave, I added a note to the ticket.
Thinkpad forum recommends that to speed up operation, you boot from the internal HD and put data on a PC Card with a compact flash adapter, like:
Compact Flash to PCMCIA Ata Adapter CF to PC Card Adapter PCMCIA Ata Adapter for Cf 2 Card (Come with 512MB CF Memory Card)
Can someone point me to some docs on how to get this up and seen under ArcaOS 5.1.1?
The ArcaOS development environment I paid EUR 150,- for does not work at all !
Had a nice time with OS/2 - I really loved it - and thank you for all the support you have given.
Oh, it works here, too!
