Hello
This is just a novelty question, is not that serious or something that I want to do right now. I just have the bug that I never made "IBM WorkSpace On-Demand (https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/IBM_WorkSpace_On-Demand)" to run. I tried on the year 2001 with some lab machines, RIPL was kind of a problem, there were some tricks to make IBM WorkSpace On-Demand to make it run on OS/2 Wsfeb, since it didn't recognize version 4.5.... anyways, I still have this little bug.
Do you think it will be possible today with ArcaOS, and VirtualBox, to create like a virtual server with "IBM WorkSpace On-Demand" and made some other virtual machine to actually get to boot OS/2 from a the WSOD server?
I just want to hear some thoughts.
Regards

I am not certain. But WSOD uses RIPL boot best I can recall. And this support requires a NIC that supports RIPL boot (NETBIOS). I highly doubt any of the software NC's in any VM support RIPL boot....
But I could be wrong...

WSOD 2.0 can also use PXE.
For running WSOD 1.0 you can simply create 3 VMs:
1. Warp Server
2. Warp 4
3. Workspace On-Demand
The installation is straight as all fixes are included with WSOD.
The 3rd VM should be modified by using a ROM from PRORPL.EXE (Intel) or AMD's RBOOT.ROM.
