I tried OS/2 v1.0, v1.1, and v1.3 on Microsoft Virtual PC. No show. v1.0 kept reseting the PC, v1.1 did nothing (No disk activity), and v1.3 got the message "Invalid Country.sys" file. I got OS/2 v2.1 (No sound), OS/2 Warp 3 (With Sound Support), OS/2 Warp 4, and (I know this is not the Linux forum) Redhat 6.2.

I tried to setup sound for OS/2 v2.1. I have the multimedia extensions. I do know that VPC supports sound for OS/2 v2.1. Sound works without problems with Warp 3. My expiriences with Modern OS/2 have been problem free.
