Applications / Re: Java applications

I've been working on getting an old F/OSS XML IDE back up and running. I've got a newish version of Saxon-HE  (2017) running, Xerces and Xalan updates (XSD 1.0 only), and ISO Schematron support. Right now it still supports Java 1.6 and thus OS/2. Give it a try! https://github.com/HiltonRoscoe/exchangerxml/releases

Hardware / Re: ThinkPad T60 Wifi

Thank you all for your replies. I got the drivers installed for the WiFi, but it is very flaky connecting to my ASUS Router (RT-AC68U). My connection is a WPA2-Personal (AES). I previously installed ArcaOS on a T40 and got wifi working so I know I am doing it right? I will continue to post updates.

Hardware / ThinkPad T60 Wifi
« on: January 21, 2021, 01:33:25 pm »
Hello! I recently purchased a T60. I restored WinXP on it (factory image) and got it dual booting with ArcaOS. However, I'm running into some issues getting a few things working:

* Universal Sound Driver doesn't seem to work
* The WiFi card isn't supported by ArcaOS? (Atheros card)

If the latter is true, what is a good card to put into the ThinkPad? A/B/G is fine, just looking for something that works with minimal issues.

Thanks!

Applications / How OS/2 determines which VM to use
« on: September 06, 2020, 12:03:38 am »
I've been playing around with Odin lately, and noticed that while DOS applications open in a DOS window and OS/2 apps open in their respective windows, Windows applications always open with The Windows 3.1 VM. This is fine for when the EXE really is Win16, but is kind of annoying for Win32 applications, as it won't work (perhaps some Win32s would).

I assume OS/2 determines which VM to use based on the file header. Is this configurable? Could it be changed to run ODIN/Wine/Whatever when it sees a Win32 EXE?

Hi

I republished some old pictures from the Archive to the Odin wiki page. Any more material is welcome.

Regards

How does one get a login to the Wiki? There are some apps I've tested out and happy to update the compatibility list.

Hardware / Re: VM Parallel support inside OS/2
« on: August 14, 2020, 09:35:31 pm »
I plan to use VirtualBox, unless people suggest a reason to use another VM. The fax/printer can only communicate over Parallel and only using its proprietary drivers, so TWAIN or more general purpose FAX products for OS/2 will not work.

Hardware / VM Parallel support inside OS/2
« on: August 11, 2020, 02:23:24 pm »
Hello!

I'm about to take the plunge and get AcraOS for my old ThinkPad T40. The only thing I use it for right now is connecting to an old fax/scanner (HP LJ 3100). I still want to use the fax machine going forward, but understand OS/2 will not have drivers. So I'm wondering if I ran a VM inside OS/2, is the parallel port support good enough to interface to the printer from the VM? If so, which one? I'll probably run NT 4.0 or 2000 in the VM.

Thanks!
