"itsa WINDOZE based machine... {"maybe now, finally its an OS/2 warp candidate visa vi Walmart sells PCs with Linux why not OS2 ver 9? open sourced that it~}"

::on notebookreview online[ http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3775] I read recently that Ubuntu installs on this lap[mobile pc] BUT the unit has problems with internet via the NIC or by other means like the modem, pcmcia data or whatever...once Ubuntu is booted::

Gee couldnt they just have used IBM TCP/IP?

It can't really hurt it to boot from the eCS 2.0 rc5 install CD, can it?

Sounds like everything should be supported fine, good luck!

besides the mobile PC I also have a rack server box FOR SALE with an ASUS X series mATX board with an AMD CPU installed, this black rack box comes with CD Rom version of OS2 ver3; an external USB drive by Maxtor - 80GB, an IBM kybd and mouse, some DDR Ram installed - there are only two slots on the micro mobo, each has one stick of DDR ram; 512MB total; there's also a card reader installed in a 3.5in bay - but I don't know how to get OS2 to talk to the card reader, ooops...ver 3 is in the orig. box, blue spine with bonus pak! PM me if you might be interested...
thx, MZ

OS/2 C++ is now here! I.E. _VISUAL AGE for OS/2_ item is sealed in orig. cello on CD, Version 3, with a copyright date as: '89-`95  as I recall; I apologize in advance here as there are no printed dox or manuals, please pm MZ if you have questions or need more info on this (or on the RACK)...BTW, since there are no dox, the CD label declares that IBMs reader software and the like can be ripped from the CD and used to read the doc files for C_++ V3 on the CD, or as you please installed on your drive...as usual there are always bonuses for this purchase...
S&H will be around $4 USD and here at IBM show we only ship UPS with signature to lower 48.
thx,
