Windows 7 inside OS/2 Warp - eComstation

[tuxcup]

Will this work in my super old computer?I want a newer OS for it.

@PBLeg70CD

Go to Hobbes for OS/2 (googel search) and look there for Virtualbox.

Does wireless internet work?

[SigurdWarp]

@sulmann26

There is support for WLAN, but only up to Intel4965 BGN cards, there is a driver for newer chipsets (starting Intel 5100 and newer) under developement but unfortunately no results so far.

@mysticchip

Yes, OS/2 was the first build in JAVA Operatiingssystem. Today JAVA 6 is under developement.

can i install os/2 warp on my pc without the floppy disk?my floppy drive is broken on my fujitsu ehh...please comment...

[SigurdWarp]

@MrChezco1995

Yesd, you can - if you use OS/2 Warp 4.52 or eComStation. OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 are not possible, only way for them is to update them via UPDCD, than it works.

[MisterEvasion]

EComStation. The more I see it, the more I long to have it as my main system. The problem is hardware support as someone has already said. I suppose if you customized, you could easily find out what ECom supports best and go from there. I am tired of Windows and the communists. This is a great third option.

Thisis so cool

Seems odd that they didn't change the splash screens to say "eComStation" instead of "OS/2 Warp" (especially with the IBM logo on the first one).

Nice to see that audio is working -- bad sound support for my old SoundBlaster 16 in Warp 4 was why I switched to Linux back in the late 1990s.

nice to see os/2 still being around, as i've said on another video, too. :) do you th9ink this could be installed on my thinkpad t42?

[semco72057]

I have a copy of OS/2 Warp 4 on CD, and eComstation 1 which was good. I have been using OS/2 since version 3 which came on floppies. I was able to run virtual boxes with many other OS' like the Amiga to run their programs. It is primarily used today in business and I think the company making the software look to them for sales. I didn't know that you could run Windows 7 or any other version in OS/2 though.

Verdammt gutes Notebook, wenn Win7 selbst unter einer Virtuellen Box in OS/2 kaum RAM/Prozessor-Auslastung anzeigt.

Ich woltle vor ein Jahr mal eComStation testen, weil mich dieses OS/2 einfach interessiert hat.

Leider war die LiveCD für mich etwas kompliziert einzustellen und es hat hinterher auch mein Internet erkannt, weswegen es für mich witzlos gewesen ist :<

impressive, is ecomstation still being developed/maintained? i'm aware os/2 warp is old but i know very little about ecomstation. also did you compile virtualbox yourself or does the windows executable work? and just wondering, but what are the advantages of ecomstation or os/2 compared to linux or windows?

[SigurdWarp]

Hi,yes, ecomstation 2.0 is still under development. Look for the ecomstation homepage in the net. Virtualbox: there is a 1.6 for OS/2 availiable, I did not need to compile something.

Advantages: Small, fast, no virus. but limited hardware support - so it depends on the hardware you have.

It may be worth a try depending on your hardware.openoffice 3.1.1,flash 10beta,Latest firefox, thunderbird and seamonkey are also as OS/2 and ecomstation versions availiable.

[schmidtbag]

cool, thanks for the info. i don't think i'll install it on anything i have but i'll probably look into it a little more some day

[rufuscure]

This is so cool, good job

[thenerd23]

excellent video even though I don't understand German :)

[TPmania]

It's Great. Good job.

My system(MCP2 & eCS 2.0rc6a on ThinkPad240) is not work Virtual box.

But, I felt a big possibility because I saw this movie.

[SigurdWarp]

Hi,

what is the reason for Virtualbox not running on your system? It should according to the facts yo told. What kind of Thinkpad is it exactly you are using?

[TPmania]

Mr. SigurdWarp,

My small ThinkPad has CPU of 400MHz, and there is only a memory of 320MB. It is considerably severe to make OS of the Windows 95 class work with VPC.

It might not be a performance that VBOX demands.

It is thought that it is necessary to buy ThinkPad of faster CPU so that I may use VirtualBOX without the inconvenience.
