Hello!
I think i will buy OS2/WARP V3 CDs, but i will only do it if I know it is compatible with my hardware. So can anyone help me? Here is my hardware:
Pentium III 550 MHZ
256 MB RAM
HD 10.2 GB
Motherboard PCHIPS M748LMRT
SIS 620 Video/ CMI 8738 Audio/ HSP56 Micromodem all of them onboard
CD ROM player and CD Recorder LG
Diskette Drive not working (is it really necessary?)
I want to install it on a second partition....is it possible to make a dual boot with my XP?
thanks,
giovanealex

Go for Warp 4, best version 4.52 CD install as you don't have a working floppy.

Your hardware it's no problem except probably modem & sound.

Warp3 it's a bit too old, however it could be installed after all necessary fixes to installation diskettes etc.

Other possibility buy eCS


ciao, os2power

The hardware is no problem, it is powerful
enough to run OS/2 without problems. But OS/2
instalation must boot from a floppy diskette, so you have to change it.
