OS/2 is a match made in heaven for the PS/2 computers. I've installed it on a

looking for drivers either.
I just recently installed warp server for ebusiness on an IBM server 330 with
RAID and no problems there either. Runs fine with 64meg! I even bought the
remote management card for it and got that running with an old version of
netfinity for OS/2 I thankfully kept. I can remotely admin the machine if I want. I
could not find a video driver for the integrated CL video card and ended up
installed a PCI trident video card since I could find a driver for it. The IBM
support site is totally USELESS for finding anything for older machines now. I
could not find any support files for this 8640-ES2 server. For OS/2 drivers,
google on OS/2 device driver pak online and you will find what you need.

The 9595 would be a top of the line server correct? I was wondering how well
the workstations got along with OS/2. Why do I get the impression that few
people today collect and run vintage OS/2 hardware and software?

I still have my developer's kit for OS/2 1.3 and it's quite a pile of paper and
diskettes. Wonderful documentation, compared to other contemporary x86 operating systems
and pretty stable at that. I've run a couple of versions of Warp--they're okay.
I suppose a comparable question might be "Why doesn't anyone collect and run
vintage Windows 3.1 software?" Just can't get excited about it, I guess.
Cheers,

Actually, that is incorrect.
There are a LOT of people who still collect the older workstation
PS/2's. Some places have entire sites dedicated to just that. A lot
of chatter on the ibm.ps/2 google groups is around workstations and
not servers for ps/2. There is also an entire google group that is
active that discusses the various uses of OS/2 and some bullshit
knockoff known as e-comstation (often referred to by IBM'ers as e-con
- as in conning you out of your money).
comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware 'main one for hardware'(don't use the
comp.sys.ibm.ps2 as it is often just a bulletin board for spam and
there are no real posts on it most of the time).
comp.os.os2 (piles of sub groups under it, personally, I use .misc).
As it stands, I use an IBM ps/2 8570 and an 8557SLC (thank you fellow
classiccmp'er) on my TR network now and they can talk to the outside
world over a transparent bridge/switch to the Ethernet side that goes
to my broadband router. Yes, lots of classic and working perfectly
well stuff involved there. I even know a fellow who at 1 point, had 5
or 6 ps/2 workstations arrayed in Linux as a BeoWulf cluster (I don't
even think I spelled that right, then again I don't use a cluster myself).

New subject: System 23 Data Master information
Hi, I'm new to the list, but not new to classic computers.
I picked up a rare beast (Apparently) years ago when I bought a System
23 tower system at a thrift shop years ago, and it's been sitting in my
basement for a few years after a rough life in makeshift storage. I want
to see if I can get this thing cleaned up and running, but there's no
system 23 docs, much less even any acknowledgment of there being a
tower format for that system. Any help would be appreciated, but
schematics would be the best.
Thanks

Try this guy.
Gabriel Bakker (tree.sage at gmail.com)
He works for a software house that maintains to this day some applications
that originated on the System 23. I don't know the name of the company -
believe they are in Fla. They probably have some information.
You can use my name. Let me know if you have any success.

Uhhh. No. e-Comstation works just fine with a whole load of features
that WSeB doesn't have.

Has Serenity got IBM to hand over the late-fixpack Warp Server 4.5
kernel and other updates yet? Last I heard, eCom was still on the Warp
4.0 kernel, even tho' IBM had done substantiat tweaking & revision
subsequently...

I am running sCS 1.1, and already when that was released I got version
4.45. The SMP version would have had to be 4.5 at that time, since I do
not think there ever was any 4.0 SMP kernel. In any case, my eCS seems to
run better than my WSeB, and the fixes from Serenity seem to be tracking
those from IBM quite closely. I am not aware of any IBM updates that have
not found their way into eCS.
