As my
internal network progresses this box has value as I have a SMC 10bt
NIC for it. I figure OS/2 warp V3 or Win3.1 would be a good os for it.
Being 286 there are few unix based OSs with a networking that run well
> on it.
That and its just too silly not to.
the only version of OS2 that will work on the
mod50 is 1.3. any OS2 version
with built in windows support requires 386 or higher. you can put in various
memory cards to goto max supported mem of 16meg. plus, the hard drive has
bus attachment with only 160meg size being the biggest i've seen.
I'm not sure, but I suspect that getting any kind of networking for
OS/2 V1.3 is going to be difficult. IIRC, it doesn't come with networking
support. One of these days I want to dig out the only PS/2 I've got in my
collection and see if I can get the copy of V1.3 loaded. IIRC, about the
only thing I had that would run under V1.3 was TE/2 and some ports of the
Windows Applets! (What can I say, I had a hard enough time affording OS/2
itself, IIRC.)
Warp 3 was the last version I ran, and I don't remember it having any
networking software either.
