In reply to neozeed. There is a ready compiled version there, so no need to run PDS.

In reply to Peter. No major updates as of yet, however VMWare Player is still available, they just renamed it to VMWare Workstation Player. A horribly confusing name for sure, and they bumped it up to version 12 to match the workstation product version. But rest assured it's there! I'll give it a shot, I have PDS somewhere around here, so I assume it ought to run on OS/2 and the OS/2 subsystem of NT up to Windows 2000.. It doesn't peek/poke so it ought to be fine.

Are there any updates about using VMPlayer (meanwhile there is no free version left, but the last one, version 7, should still run fine) or VirtualBox “hosting” OS/2 ?

Btw. I didn’t use OS/2 since a few years, may be you’re able to test my BASIC game I compiled for OS/2 ? See my own blog at http://www.z80.eu/blog/index.php?entry=entry160315-220000 …

In reply to Tobis87.

Cool! Good to here are are at least 2 of us running ancient OS/2 ..!

I think I’ve seen TCPIP 1.3 somewhere, but I had no interest as I didn’t know anything that would work with it, and by comparison OS/2 2.0 is so much more capable than 1.3 …

Thank you so much for this!

I got the AMD PCnet-Family driver running in OS/2 1.3 (VirtualBox) with this setting.

PSFEATURE = “TRUE” in C:\OS2\LANMAN\PROTOCOL.INI

Does someone know if IBM TCP-IP 1.3 works with ADSM 1.2 (Now IBM TIvoli Storage Manager)?

Would be nice to save my OS/2 1.3 Installation to my TSM home setup.
If someone knows where IBM TCP-IP 1.3 can be located.
