Install and run IBM OS/2 2.11 in 86box. You can find the ISOs and boot floppies online. I found an ISO with 2 boot floppies. It could never load the CD-ROM. I ended up using 14 floppy images to install.
Does not have a built-in driver for CD-ROM that works. OTHER doesn’t work. No “Unlisted IDE CD-ROM” option like in Warp 3.0. There is probably a driver available online you could install.
- Choose Cirrus Logic Video driver in OS/2.
- Does not support NIC cards or networking.
- Install Sound Blaster 1.5 driver in O/S 2 after install in Drivers Control Panel.
