General Discussion / MS os/2 2.0 kernel
« on: March 22, 2024, 01:32:00 am »
I've seen the news on the MS OS/2 2.0 SDK and I got a bit confused. It says that it's a 32 bit kernel running and comes packed with compilers and tools and that's able to run DOS in independent VMs... etc etc.

I was under the impression that all those features were added later by IBM only. I thought the kernel was of IBM making only. This looks like OS/2 2.0 from 1992 without WPS.

Is this the same kernel that evolved into IBM OS/2 2.0 (probably) or is it a different kernel? and are the tools of any use today?

Does anyone knows

General Discussion / OS/2 1.0 online simulator

Please check a very interesting site that has many 80's PC machines simulated using javascript. One of them is OS/2 1.0 and includes an SDK. Very cool stuff

Hardware / Time for a OS/2 box
« on: April 03, 2018, 11:42:45 pm »
After reading about the history and evolution of Amiga and now about Apple thinking on moving away from Intel, I came to the thought that maybe we should try to find a way to create a box specially design to run the latest OS/2 without having to worry about compatibility issues and it would focus efforts on one set of requirements (drivers and features like hardware 3D ... and some other dreams).

I know that some vendors offer boxes that are 100% tested to run OS/2, but this is more on the line of a BeBox or the Amiga example. Times are different now than back in the late 90's when Intel/Microsoft would crush any resistance...


What do you guys think?... what about PS/2 .... haha!
