Thank you very much!

Can't wait to see OS/2 Warp 3 on my 486Dx2 and even the Warp 4, using an Am5x86 cpu.

Hardware is compatible, S3 Vision968 VLB and ESS1868F have OS/2 drivers.

But will see...

I will inform soon about my progress and the upgrade of the OS/2 using fixpaks and separate udpates.

I'm trying to help someone install ArcaOS on an IBM Thinkpad T23. I'm interested to see how it goes for you. He is not getting the installer to start from DVD.

I'm using installation from the USB drive, it's easier and quickier...

From DVD you must burn the media with lowest speed, make a verification of the data and close the optical media for further copying of files.

Also what is the condition of the optical drive?

Did he changed the boot order on the bios? Is the machine using the latest bios?

Thank you both for your answers!

I will try them soon, I'm just waiting my summer leave for free time!

Also another question.

On ArcaOS I know hot to replace the boot logo (OS2LOGO) to use the Warp 4 one or another, is it possible to replace also the button for opening application manager that says ARCAOS to OS/2 desktop with the OS2WARP one form 4.52 just to have more OS/2 nostalgia look?

Greetings to everyone,

back on the beginning of 1995 a friend of mine had bought an Aptiva 2144-910 (486 Dx2 66 MHz) and I was excited when I saw that instead of "Starting MS-DOS", it was mentioning "PC-DOS 6.3". But It had a boot manager to select DOS or OS/2.

It was OS/2 Warp 3 connect version installed!
Very good impression on me! At the Beginning of 1996 he installed Windows 95 and never again saw the impressive OS/2 logo.

Years ago when I was watching Computer Chronicles episodes my eye fell on episodes with OS/2 4.0 version and I was in love again!
Three years ago I've started to collecting vintage hardware, hardware I use to own, or wanted back on the day. So I have now on my possession a ThinkPad 380z, a A20m and a T23, which all they supported from Warp 4.52. So I've installed 4.52 on them an play a little bit. I also tested eComStation, a friend of mine had given me his installation media. Last August I bought ArcaOS and works great on my ThinkPads!

Recently I bought genuine versions of OS/2 Warp 3.0 Connect (Blue) and OS/2 Warp 4 and I want to install them on my 386 and 486, because DOS support is great, I've tested it on PCem.

I've just want to know which fixpaks to install on them to be able to use SNAP or SciTech vesa drivers.

The last fixpak for each version of OS/2 it's enough to patch the operating system to the last version?
