Now that I have a good machine to try installing OS/2 on (a PS/2 Model
95), it seems that the install disks for my copy of OS/2 Warp 3 have
become re-magnitized in a patter to obscure the original data. Does
anyone have a copy of OS/2 that they can send me (Teledisk images or dd
images or an ISO is just fine with me) or know if I can talk to someone at
IBM to get new media to replace the failed old media?
Thanks for the help!

Better yet, you can make replacement disks straight off the Warp CD.
The tools are in \diskimgs and the images themselves are in \diskimgs\os2
You'll want disk0.dsk (boot) and disk1_cd.dsk (install for CD)
ok

We used in my job from OS/2 1.3 to OS/2 4.5 advanced.
All in spanish, but some of the first versions were English
versions. I can check if we have yet the OS/2 Warp English
version in CD-ROM (and operative). In this case I could
send you one copy.
Greetings from Spain

Well, if I owned the CD version that would probably work. However, I have
the floppy disk version and a good number of the install floppies are not
readable.
