I got it by accident, I’ve never been able to reproduce it.. so naturally I saved a copy of it!

It’s Microsoft OS/2 1.1

MS OS/2 Base Operating System
Standard Edition 1.10 Component ID 560109201
XR000000

the devinfo in config.sys mentions EGA so I guess this is mono EGA? I can’t even get windows/386 3.0 to load CGA right to compare dosboxes/vs os/2 boxes…

The screenshots at http://www.os2museum.com/wp/?page_id=278 were all taken with VirtualBox, but there were numerous OEM versions of MS OS/2 1.1 and they were not all the same.

thats what I had thought at first, so I disabled all of that stuff, and the AMD still crashes out like crazy (Vbox complains, but I think its more so needed for OS/2 2.0++)

Or maybe the Intel-VT stuff just works?
