Sure, Ian. It's at:

https://outpostbbs.net/files/OS_2.rar (case-sensitive)

It's OS/2 Warp 4.52 with a slightly older Virtualbox guest additions added
into it. Just unarchive it into your VBox "Virtual Machines" directory.

Please feel free to share that with anyone interested.

Later,
Sean

Head into your TCP/IP configuration & check to make sure it's set up. Unlike ArcaOS...you have to set up your configuration to use the LAN with DCHP.

SATA drive. The new drive went right in & hums right along.

Congrats -- sounds like you got a winner.
Assistive SATA technologies served a purpose, but now it seems like a
lot of hoops to go through, now that SSDs are getting cheap.

True. The system was from 2013...the m72 version of the system.

I bought a ton of Hybrid SATA drives, they were like having a SATA drive with 4GB of cache on the side. Boot up times were no faster than SATA,
but once you started loading your apps, they served out of the cache instead of the spinning drives.

This was a plain jane SSD from Sanyo. Just a black box which weighed nothing. Never having messed around with SSD's...was surprised how light it was. May eventually find a use for it...especially on the RPi.

Lighter, less power used, nothing spinning to crash if you drop it --
they've changed the way I see a laptop.

Totally agree with you. If I'd had a nice sized SSD sitting around like I did the 1 TB drive I put in there...that would've been fantastic. Even thinking about getting a decent sized one for this box for the boot drive.
