Yeah, I’ve been waiting for the qnx thing to finally conclude.

It has no floating point support!!! The SDK is even in more rough shape. It’s crazy how RAW this build is, and no wonder it wasn’t for public showing

Still, I see no reason why IBM would not be able to add support for the disk to OS/2. OS/2 1.x predates the 2121 and would not have any special support.

Ignore this comment, I should have read more carefully.

OS/2 actually do support the type of disk controller that is in the PS/1. I think it is the same as on the PS/2 model 30-286. Look for DISK03.SYS on the floppy disks. Of course these PS/1 would have 6MB of RAM not 2MB.

it would have been something far later like the ‘consultant’ type stuff.. but I was sure those were all 486/pentium based. I know the later stuff with Warp was setup in dualboot as the owner didn’t even know they had OS/2, and when I showed them they immediately demanded it be erased as it was no doubt a virus…

I’m sure they’ve installed dozens of malware programs since then.

I am not surprised, as NE2000 came from Novell and 3Com was a LanMan OEM.
