OK, the bug only seems to exist in the German version.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X13 gen 2, and while I didn't get it to run ArcaOS, I was curious if it could be done.

It can't. (see attachment) Actually, it can. See correction below.

Yes, I also tested it with standard VGA.

Did you test with only 256 colours?

Thanks for the reply Steven.

I'm creating the wiki page for it.
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Kensington_CSMT-2_Compact_Wafer_Transfer_Sorting_Mapping_Tool_Sorter_8%22_-_167586

The Kensington CSMT-4 seems to be also from those days, it has an IBM PC 300. If someone knows if it used also OS/2, please let me know.

Any more information on these models are welcome, manuals, config.sys, software screenshots, program .exe names, etc.

Applications / IBM-Works Chart
« Last post by Michael on January 02, 2026, 07:54:20 am »
Hi,

IBM Works offers the option to change the color of chart bars. Unfortunately, the dialog box for this cannot be opened, and Works crashes completely. This error occurs on various systems and OS/2-Versions, regardless of hardware or graphics card.

However, it only happens with IBM Works version 3.0. Does anyone know if there was a service pack for IBM Works 3.0?

Thanks,
Michael

As google tells us:  A wafer sorter is an automated system designed to handle, sort, align, identify, and transfer wafers between cassettes or process tools. It ensures that wafers are correctly oriented, placed in the right sequence, and mapped accurately for downstream processes.

A wafer sorter is one of several systems that make up a semiconductor wafer production line.

The CSMT-2 is an older model and the control software is OS/2 based.  I don't know exactly how many are still in production use, but they are definitely still in use on some production lines.

Hello

I got the tip of another Industrial Machine that used to had OS/2.  It seems to be something like a "Kensington Laboratories Wafer Mapper/Sorter "

If someone has more information about it or what it does, please let me know.

I found this one on ebay, but I'm not sure it comes bundle with OS/2. It comes with a IBM PC-350 machine.

I just want to publish any public information on how it works and what it does at the OS2World wiki.

Thanks Dave. It was working. i am glad you told me where the downloads went.

Good. It is kind of a weird place to download files to when there is also \Home\Downloads but I think that's how it works on Windows and many a Linux Desktop tries to follow Windows. OS/2 itself is too old to have a Downloads folder but perhaps it should have.

Setup & Installation / Re: eCenter button image
« Last post by Adrian on December 30, 2025, 01:17:11 pm »
Hello

I don't fully remember this, but I believe that eCenter was just a rebranded xCenter. And xCenter is part of XWorkplace, so xWorkplace should not be removed.

Adrian, what OS/2 version are you using? IBM, eComStation or ArcaOS?

Quote
Or is it possible to get the old ecenter back?
Is there any way eCenter has something better that xCenter? Because I think that with the latest version of XWorkplace (that has xCenter) we should be fine.

Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Regards

Hi Martin,

I'm using ArcaOS 5.1.1 on a Lenovo T60 laptop.
In the past, I have installed the complete version of workplace, and sometimes strange things happen.
Now I have increased the SSD disk size and partitions, it is more clear and ArcaOS works fine.

Gras,
Adrian
