Guys,
Anyone have any luck running OS/2 under an emulator on Windows 2000?
Just wondering. I tried installing OS/2 Warp 3 on my copy of VMWare 3, and
it (VMWare) got mad and won't allow it to install. The web site says VMWare
will not (and has no intention of) support OS/2.
I was hoping to find a way to run trusty OS/2 on my laptop when I wasn't
busy with work......
Thanks!

They stopped trying to support it in the 2.x days. I got Warp 3 to
partially boot, but that's all IIRC. I'd say go find yourself a copy of
partition magic (or fips) and dual-boot if you want to play with OS/2. :)

Matthew,
My experience is that if the VMWare docs don't say it supports an OS, it won't.
I've tried several classic x86 OSs to no avail. Generally, you hardly get into
an install before there is some fatal error. When I've asked VMWare support,
they say: sorry, no bananas.

VirtualPC supports OS/2 (and also runs under OS/2).
Pretty expensive though at 235 Euro (OS/2 version) or 285 Euro (Windows
version).

Tried Plex86? It might work. And it's open source.
