I have the SFF version of this model with a transplanted Xeon in it, running eCS. Do not recall having any problems setting it up.

I want to setup a replacement computer system with multiple operating systems on it.
I have learned that the boot manager that comes with ArcaOS is useless on any of my AMD Ryzen based systems - it does not display any of the menus so it is impossible to select an OS.
Before I start this project I would like to know if anyone is using the old OS/2 boot manager in such a situation. I know the primary partition limitations and since I only want three operating systems on this new system (Boot Manager, OS/2(ArcaOS), Linux Mint and Win7). There will be several hard disks - the number will depend on how well the system will work.
The reason for this is because I am fedup with having 5 or more computers running at the same time all feeding into a KVM switch and two monitors, also on a HHDMI switch.
Any information and comments? Thanks in advance.
It is possible to run DOS packet drivers in a DOS session if you disable the DOS/2 networking, but not recommended, FTP Software (the company) also sold a TCP/IP stack for OS/2 that had a VDD that allowed DOS sessions to use DOS packets via emulation, but alas that is impossible to get hold of these days. The Essex Systems stack also had some VDD trickery, but I cannot remember it it supported the FTPS packets specification.
Is it true these older OS/2 TCP/IP and NetBIOS over TCP implementations used proprietary APIs which limited their use to only the network applications/services that were distributed with these packages?
Hi
So, I need to find the documentation inside the "IBM TCP/IP for DOS 2.1.1 Programmer's Toolkit".
On the "IBM TCP/IP VERSION 2.0 FOR OS/2" announcement there are some references to something called "DOS/Windows Access Kit"QuoteDOS/WINDOWS ACCESS KIT: This facility allows DOS applications written to the IBM TCP/IP for DOS Version 2.1 programming interfaces, and Windows applications written to the Windows Sockets API Version 1.0 or Version 1.1 specifications to run in an OS/2 environment on top of IBM TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2. This product requires the customer to have the OS/2 Version 2.1 operating system installed.
I'm still trying to find something on a package of TCP/IP 2.0 for OS/2, but I still haven't find that documentation.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Martin
No idea if DeskMan/2 is still available http://www.devtech.com/DeskMan/index.html
OS/2 doesn't adjust to daylight saving time anyway. Of course, I can set daytime (if I run it) to take DST into account, but I wasn't running daytime while using the additions.
As far as an UltraBay Floppy that can be swapped in place of the CD drive, I think the T540p series is the last one.

Hi,IBM stopped supplying floppie drives as standard back in the 90's, they replaced them with "Ultrabay" a hot swappable slot that can take CD-ROM's, floppies or batteries etc., depending on need. I think the last Thinkpad series that came standard with a floppy were some of the 300 series (486 era), AFAIK all the newer models had the floppy drives as Ultrabay options, the last models that could take an Ultrabay with an internal Floppy (Ultrabay 2000) were the T2x series and the A3x series.
What is the latest model of thinkpad with integrated floppy drive ?
Thank you.
Some USB audio devices were also tested, all with the same hardwareID: 8086:0808Fairly certain this is the default HiD for the C-Media CM108 USB codec
