That's strange.  Send those over to my email martiniturbide -at- gmail.com. If I got those I will try it out why they can not be uploaded to the forum.

Hello mauro

Thanks for sharing it, I didn't knew about this project.

- Chromium is open source - multi platform browser ?
As far as I know is open source.

- does multiplatform browser 32 bit means theoretically portable in OS2/ArcaOS ?
Yes and No. But I prefer someone with more experience to reply this.

For what I see this project support 32bits and 64 bits Windows XP, Vista, and 7. I think we should check the source code of it, the libraries that it uses and see how portable it is to OS/2.

The source code seems to be here: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium

Maybe, as a first step, we can get the Windows 32bits version and see if it runs with Odin.

Regards

Hello

I started to create this gallery of OS/2 box packages in the OS2World wiki some time ago. Call it craziness if you want, but I think it will help collectors and general OS/2 fans to know what was out there.

I wanted to document the part number of the packages and if possible trying to list all the content with the part numbers too.

If you want to check it out I think the best way is to surf under this wiki category.
https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:IBM_Product_Package

If you want to help me, if you have an OS/2 box and can share your pictures and list the contents of it with the part numbers, just contact me or post here the pics. I know I'm still missing a lot of languages.

Regards

Hello

I checked the "Terratec Promedia DMX Xfire 1024 " here:
https://theretroweb.com/expansioncards/s/terratec-promedia-dmx-xfire-1024#chips
It says it uses the "Crystal CS4294" chipset. On Hobbes we have reference to Crystal chipset driver, but I haven't found any reference to the "CS4294" one.

FYI: Sound Blaster Live 1024 (CT4830) specs are here:
https://theretroweb.com/expansioncards/s/creative-sound-blaster-live-ct4830
To give it a try I would start with this one:

Hello

I just wanted to get back to this thread to leave it documented to me.

1) OS/2 Full Screen Session. Didn't work
2) Win-OS/2 Full Screen Session. Even that the Windows mouse shows and works, when I get back to OS/2 the pointer does not show up.
3) Going to a command line, running e.exe and double clicking on the text. It worked. The pointer showed up again.

Thanks for the feedback.
Regards

Hello

I found this demo on some Japanese CDs.

"Magus PageTurner version 1.00.03
Magus PageTurner provides PostScript file viewing and electronic publishing capabilities."

I guess this is a .PS file viewer. I can not make it run. It installs, runs, shows a logo and it hangs the machine. I can not kill it with TOP.

There's also a driver floating around that fixes some DOS issues, the name escapes me right now.

Dave, do you mean "vio-1.0.wpi" patch?

Hi Doug

It is good that you see at least the mouse improvement in Win-OS/2 full screen session. I don't know if this improves something on the DOS VDM, I don't think so, but I may be wrong.

By any chance did you tried the vio-1.0.wpi patch and try if it works for your windowed sessions?
- https://mantis.arcanoae.com/view.php?id=1193
Does this patch applies today with ArcaOS 5.1.1 ?

Just in case, I have some personal notes and links here:
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=DOS_and/or_WIN-OS/2_Sessions_Problems_on_ArcaOS

There is also this from Arca Noae:
Quote
If you have a need for DOS and/or Win-OS/2 sessions you will need to install ArcaOS in UEFI mode so that the installer will install a compatible VESA emulator. You could disable the CSM (legacy support) in the BIOS settings, or just make sure the system boots the installer in UEFI mode.

Hello

In my case the problem had been fixed. It no longer Drag+Ctrl creates a zero file on the host. But the WPS message warning about the EAs (that is not part of Vbox) now shows up. I can live with it but I hope that it can be turned off.

From the side of VirtualBox 7.2.0 on the Windows Host, I had to uninstall the older VirtualBox and install 7.2 because I was getting an "Make sure the Kernel Module was loaded..." error when running any VM. But now it seems to works fine.

David, thanks for the heads up about this new release.

Knut is awesome: https://github.com/VirtualBox/virtualbox/issues/98#event-19124240227

I will try out the new host and the new guest addons today.
