Marketplace / CBM Pet
« on: 2008.08.10, 03:10:10 »
the CBM Pet PRO Series 2oo1 has been a centre piece for IBMshow, until this summer that is, in an attempt to derive more pleasure as well as continued provinance from the event we are scaling down alot; I have up for sale this CBM which 'POWERS ON' but I have not used same. I am selling in as is condition and do not have the serial drives that could be used with it, as i said its just a show piece and will lose its blue spotlite when its sold, unless of course you so demand it, price: MAKE OFFER for a good cause folks, i.e. IBM Show Trailer Upgrade ala os/2 Warp International A P P R E N T I C E Museum Module on wheels
...its as fun as jiffydos... and as ez as a typewriter that copies everything you type on a TTL...

eCS (1.2r) ha, would eCS rel. 2 work on an "older system" and not become: ""overwhelmed""
even a virtualized IBM 77oZ laptop would take the whippin-progress always pays a cost which is way beyond its price, kind of Malthusian it seems; Linux distros are certainly useful but why not get a dual boot thing going, why hell why not put VMware to the task and run several OSes simultaneously, on the faster computer; just a thought...BTW Sun Solaris/Studio Dev will load and run on almost anything without having to worry about partitions and works well with GRUB, I put it on my new Gateway and have room for lots of partitions, BWG, do you have any ideas on how to partion HPFS and NTFS on the same boot loader config?

Thanks for setting me straight here, yes there was the TCP/IP "base kit" for OS/2 ver2.x but I meant to say that at some point I purchased the TCP/IP app separately, in 1996 and I thought it was for warp3 and later came in warp 3 connect, now I guess you mean to say its already inside warp4 server: the ISBN no was not avail at the time of purchase for the app, I know it was not a net monitoring thing like Tivoli just the stack... So, I dont need it as an app any longer with the WSeB and all the goodies, I appreciate that Robert...would that have been "fix pak 15" or?

these things would be good for watching weatherbug, being ~half the size of my mobile laptop PC, I could drop it more often. :o :o oh goodie!

Have a safe trip down the PanAm HWY SAB, if they would make the Smart for Six [stre_ctched S42 ver we talked about} you get more shameless self promo for your rolling dolla...its all about exposure, look how much MORE exposure c/would benefit EComSta/Serentiy Systems when its released in a new wrap and as a new version, you could just wear no clothes...longer wheel base means=>>> larger logos means more face time===>a lasting impression=eye candi for the window of the soul, look at all the attention the air car gets now that gaz is the evil agent of our demise [according to the big media], speaking of stretch, if you have lots&lots of air "under the hood" instead of horses that is: stretch a French AIRCAR
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoWFvm1sdf4&NR=1 [sans MDI's Guy Negre]
you could take it to the extreme: an aircar converted into a 'hot_air_balloon car', one that suddenly floats above the great plain states upon its arrival to the suburbs outward bound from Lewisville thereby announcing the ECs 2.0's (SSI's) release off Beta in living colour with blue blinking lights and everything...ufo reports notwithstanding, this would even be a better business move for serenity sys...if only wraps could fly, think big, we are talkin Texas and the great beyond...

Funny ::) you should mention CBM Robert, I still have one of those Pro 2001 Series, I may sell it for the right price in case any one is interested, if so will post a pic of her(Betsy) on the Marketplace or as soon as I can find the S/N for it and some software? Thanks for all your posts on the quad core stuff you run thats fun to read about as well...oh, did you also use the early C64's/128's and/or the Australian Commodore boxes?

Comments, Suggestions & Questions / Re: OS/2 Warp 4 Server
« on: 2008.08.09, 22:54:15 »
It was nice to have read the rundown on all the server and client conglamorates and also enlightening by young apprentice Robert; Now, here is/are the other burning question(s), if I go further/fwd and develop with WebSphere for E Business, will I still need the old OS/2 Warp TCP/IP app I bought running seperately from NET START SERVER calls? Its imbedded in warp 4 server so why was it[TCP/IP]offered as a separate app? Is this a layer thing? BTW,  I watched this thing go on ebay in spring of 05 for $400USD???) Why did it cost so darn much $? And still im cornfused about the mobos, can dual core and other similar boards run well with Warp? I recently visited MICRO Center's tech desk and was blown away by all the newer boards for sale with cpus sold as combos, interestingly ASUS was well represented as was Intel, though Intel boards are more conservative, my postulate has alway been forget Athlon and go Intel CPU chipped to an Intel Board, Mid Priced, and as preferred would I do well to rebuild my big tower and run Warp4 Server on a newer mid priced intel dual core or ?

Polls / Re "OFFTOPIC" :: Poll about Faxworks disappearing ::
« on: 2008.08.09, 22:17:01 »
ohk, faxwerkx long gone, whatever, the question wuz-and I paraphrase: "do we need an open os/2 fax project going on or not"? ie should it ]faxworks or pmfax or whatever it is that is defunct[ be replaced by something like it but more mod? I say no, but I am not really against the idea so maybe the poll should have had an "other" ambivalence column: neither yea or nea that way I wouldn't come off as being againt anything here...so if you even thought about voting, YES your vote really does count on Os2w-its a virtual poll, and its not senility software that gets your tinkers damn goin it Serenity. Seriously, interesting enough to me though, Kim and I quote you:

"Above mentioned activity was actually the reason why I started to use OS2 seriously; due to that Windows at that time really showed the limitations on how to handle hardware and software. We actually tried to build above solution around Windows and we just never got it to work and it also crashed all the time. Switching over to OS2, even a beta, everything just ran as it was supposed. At that time I also came from using the Amiga and I liked OS2 GUI with the combination of running command lines interfaces as well; just as we could on the good old Amiga." .. ..I find that very interesting... :-*

I am not surprised windows "crashed all the time" on you, hey, with four fax cards in a box, it may have turned out that persuing the project with one fax card only, tWinDose would have still crashed back then, due to all the problems with IRQs, eh, speaking of Amiga [as I drift even further off topic], I liked the old video toater in those machines, that was the hot setup...video in WINDOWS uh not so great, uh fax with windows, not so great, uh deskview or delrina fax uh, OhK, but NO TANKS!

RE plea for pollers! Yea, hey anyway its election yr here in the good ole USA - its good practice, I don't fax any more myself so I voted that I do not really need/use same, but its nice to be asked. I think its about time to query the crew as to whether or not it would be a good time to start an open project that in essence unloads an hastala_Vista like desktop and runs off a CD based on backtrak2 for os/2 eh? ;D ;D ??? :D :'(whatdya say?_?

deal withit El Vato guy...you'll receive alot more compliments, via KUDOS, the older and wiser you become, we get tired but trudge on, the other day I was reading one of your way out posts and I had no clue what you were referring to, this sometimes happens to me with other posters like your own; I re read it and it suddenly became completly clear to me -after a little research online. Funny how this stuff grows on apprentices [young and olde] and vets alike. TIA/Mucho thx

if its blue parade it, show it off, if its Twindoze, STOP/stomp it [making it disfunctional as it is... :-\ ]

No accident comrad mention of the M68000 CPU in the Wiki article on the 8088/XT history topic, both went a long way in/for office automation, as did the 68000_Motorola chip;  esp. for CAD/CADD/CADAM on UNIX based workstations like high perfromance Intergraph IGDS [M68000's]for bridge deck design, verticle curve and b_spine curves, plotting spiral roadway sections, wan via micowave, Unixmail, XT terminals, Tectronix, on and on, many of the FED/State and ACOE design depts used several IBM XTs plugged in direct using a NIC so you could monitor the whole UNIX/VAX system in DOS remotely, check the print spooler, SysAdmins checking on network stats outside the machine room, and for load balancing, etc., etc. What a fantastic time...even though few techs had heard of IBM OS/2 yet...[there was that whole generation brought up from before the PS/1 PC, 5150's crowd, the early days of IBM System 360 mainframes at Cal Tech, and then late comers like me on a later Z80 Coleco game box...read about the Altairs and 70's era hobbists plopping down 5K for a kit computer, then there were clones the AT&T PC/TTL terms touting 64k memory to run the OHMYGOD screen saver like programs...even though kit/ MAC users had the leg up we were'nt far behind... :-*

for a connection on a LAN, netBIOS notwithstanding, isnt Novell or a generic Lan manager able to talk/see to any box regardless of the type of session, ie for folder and printer sharing?

Hardware / Re: Hardware report ASAP
« on: 2008.08.08, 18:34:32 »
here's a comercially nuetral link for ya all... http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php?name=feedbackusbsite .. VIZ.for hardware reporting...
Ok, steering_smearing, I am having a tough time keeping up with this posts' thread_ing, its like a finer and finer tipped needle which I have to jump through, to get the gist - I too am missing the point? -well I guess; I thought the steering was about just go somewhere like Mensys if you like OS/2, they are running the monkey and organ grinder show now not us, not IBM, and I thought all along we here on this Forum at least were kinda leaning toward a non profit kind of thing, open source or whatever, you can always make money if collaboration is non-cryptic, [open standards for HW/SW] as MS did it with open sourcing hardware, ??? ::) IBM did not take that track and therefore I believe that is why IBM lost out, although it was in their best interest to keep the PS/2 and its early OS/2 migration strategy " closed " for licensing purposes,  it was not in the best interest of MS to do that(follow a closed standard for hardware, which is why so many more devs partnered with MS for the purposes of making TwindoZe run with so many devices, furthermore are we talking home use or banks? I can not see open source for banking even though Imatix has done some of this, an open source OS/2 software package is probubly not going to happen unless we all demand it in the open market, when we do, and so very loudly-IBM will have to come around for fullfilling the needs of a market if its a BIG market; I cant gloat over no code, I can understand steering up to the limit of my dissatisfaction, buy a big machine and IBM will go out of their way to support your enterprize, buy a desktop, move to china...so OS/2 has to be patched when its sold old by todays device standard, Vista
has no fixpacks and can never be totally fixed, I still get the BSOD when I have to use it; esp with IE8; I was hoping for a simple_machine with a simple_OS someday supported by a developer community in tune with the needs of its following, visa vie "can u say Lnx" ...something that looked alot like my warp machine: NO hangs, no mysterious invalid memory over runs, no drivers to update all of the time and no darn expensive upgrades every other year that seem to carry on all the dead code from the past on with it and no more throwing out all my hardware every two years because some kuke says I have to...I love the Virtualization model aforemetioned, but as far as being a purist, following IBM not Linus, if you follow the money, as most do, I guess I am stuck with ECs, I hate giving money to MS continually becoming more disillusioned having done the migration toward a BalmerNirvana...meanwhile the [real] unanswered question remains with regard to the big fork in the road though vague as it seems...so where/what am I supposed to migrate to IBM?

Painful being a purist isnt it?
