Some time ago I installed Warp 3 on an old Elonex Pentium 166MHz PC, together with Windows 3.11fw plus some old OS/2 office apps I was lucky enough to find on ebay. I only did all this as an experiment, but I like the system and I would like to develop it much further. I am hoping to migrate the installation onto a vacant Celeron 700 system in the next two weeks. There have been problems however. My installation refuses to recognise a second hard drive or a CD ROM drive. Regardless of whether or not there is a CD in the drive, OS/2 does not see the drive. The same effect occurred when I installed a second hard drive in the system, although that was so long ago I cannot remember how the extra drive was formatted. OS/2 would not see the second hard drive.
I intend to keep working on this system over the next few weeks and hopefully develop it into a practical, working PC. I intend to upgrade the video card/driver, install a PCI network card with TCP/IP, and install some worthwhile software so I can actually use the PC, particularly with access to my hard-wired LAN and maybe even the Internet. To this end, I would like to have Odin or a good Win32 interface. I went onto the Netlabs Odin site and looked up Odin, but the most recent build I could find was early 2005. Are there newer builds available? Where can I find one and which is the most stable?
