Internet / Re: Mypal68: A possible alternative browser?
« on: February 25, 2026, 02:37:20 am »
Iceape= Seamonkey, Icedove= Email, Iceweasel= browser. Originally rebranded Mozilla by Debian Linux

 Source code:
https://mirror.cedia.org.ec/hyperbola/sources/other/

Windows version has updated security and javascript.  Should be able to compile for OS/2

Alternative to MyPal:

I use IceApe from there on XP. Less memory used than MyPal

Storage / Re: Sharing drive between OS/2 and linux
« on: February 19, 2026, 07:41:47 am »
Had asked the question of using OS/2 JFS partition on Linux in the AntiX forum. AntiX is a lightweight Devuan/Debian based distro. Besides the standard mount commands you use, do this as well after:

sudo chmod 0774 /media/device-name

Had Slackware based distros, Porteus I believe, read JFS partitions without doing anything special. That may have been a specific version as older distro could also read HPFS.

Yes to ftp client access on Hobbes. Use ftp daily.  As for organization could be improved. Example: ftp client/server
/pub/os2/server/ftp has servers while ftp client is under /pub/os2/apps/filetransfer/

/filetransfer could mean netbios, serial and parallel port connections, file managers, remote control apps. Not descriptive.

Better would be /pub/os2/internet/ftp with /client and /server directories below. os2site.com has similar. More logical

Hardware / Re: URGENT Need for OS/2 Compatible Inkjet Printer
« on: June 19, 2025, 05:50:03 pm »
I know a guy with a new in the box Canon S520 inkjet, parallel and usb connections, uses Omni driver. Individual ink cartridges. He also has several sets of extra ink cartridges.  It was kept as a spare OS/2 compatible printer.

Use Glinks web browser. Have always been able to download from SF. It ignores the javascript junk

Which mouse driver are you using? I use this:
DEVICE=D:\OS2\BOOT\POINTDD.SYS
DEVICE=D:\OS2\BOOT\XMOUSE.SYS

When you tune mouspeed, it is a combination of driver and mouse model. I prefer Rodent driver even better, however, IBM scroll mouse seems standard install, which does not want to be replaced with Rodent. Xmouse is addition to IBM, therefore functions.

Forget about changing mouse drivers, all OS/2 ones are slow. Put this in startup.cmd:

d:\program\mouspeed 4 2 7 4

you can adjust the numbers for speed, acceleration

Warp 3 was simple with the fewest problems. Still have a running Warp 3 computer.

Networking / Re: [SOLVED] Networking not working In Virtual Box
« on: April 07, 2024, 04:21:46 pm »
 I need to have below at end of startup.cmd to get full performance:

if exist %etc%\inetcfg.ini CALL inetcfg.exe -set all
call d:\mptn\bin\setup.cmd

you may need a dhcp line as well if does not start from elsewhere

Tried this with java apps that spawn a gui window. Jreepad functioned normal. Jripper was OK except that Alt-Q would not exit, only highlight the button. Use mouse for close button works. Will test more. Thanks, is great feature!

Most probable reason for your issue is using an old BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD which had a small partition size limit. Later versions corrected this and Dani's driver always had no small drive limit
