Setup & Installation / Re: Citrix Multiuser 2.0 Problems
« on: April 14, 2019, 10:31:23 pm »
I installed using Bochs. Use a sub 500MB disk.
I put the disk images up on archive.org after I'd bought the package
https://archive.org/details/CitrixMultiuser20
The kernel is the OS/2 LA, which means that the executable format and layout changed, so it won't run anything from the GA. This isn't the 32bit OS/2 you are looking for. Of interest (to me) is that Citrix got it's OS/2 license though Microsoft, and this OS/2 is 100% IBM branded. Meaning that by the time of LA, Microsoft was 100% out of the OS/2 market.
It's okay for multitasking 16bit OS/2 and MS-DOS stuff. DooM will run on the console, and there is the start of Win-OS/2 in this release as well, but it's more like 2.1 for Windows, in that you have to bring your own copy of Windows 3.0. I used it to play SimCity for Windows on the console, while connected and mucking around with Fortran 5.1.
I don't know if they had updates to do DOS graphics over the terminals, the sales stuff sure insinuates it was going to happen, but I have no idea if it shipped. Just as I have no idea if the kernel ever was updated to the GA.
