Title: Startup sound files
Post by: jasperdog on 2011.11.29, 23:38:44
 ::)I'm very sorry I threw out OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 packages and all the disks, as well as software like MainActor over a decade ago. I'd really love to get ahold of the startup sounds for Warp. I'm not sure whether it was Warp 3 or Warp 4 that had a delicious-sounding soaring stereo chord at startup.

Is it really possible to dual-boot to OS/2 Warp? How difficult? How would I start?

Thanks for your help!

Hi jasperdog

I think you are referring to the Startup Sound from Warp4 - part of the Desktop sound theme.

As for multibooting (dual boot was something that booted DOS from the OS/2 Desktop as a Virtual Machine) I guess it depends what other operating systems you have on the hard drive and also how new the hardware is.

Hi jasperdog

You will have to choose first what do you want to do.

1) Run OS/2 on a Virtual Machine
You can visit the wiki page "OS/2 running as guest" to give you an idea.

2) Run OS/2 on Dual Boot.
You can read this article also to give you an idea:
