Pentium -s 100 MHz and OS/2 Warp 3.

[fjk61011]

I came across a Pentium-S 100 MHz PC. I'm going to install OS/2 Warp 3 to see it working.

I'll report back on the configuration and result.

I remember running this back then. Don't remember on what type of system, but it ran well. I was running a BBS on it at the time. I have a copy running now
under Virtual Box.

I have an IBM Developer's Network CD-ROM with Warp 3 on it. Haven't run it in many years, but I recall having to create two 3.5" floppies to load it (kicker1 and kicker2). I don't recall the CPU that I used it on--probably a 486. The CD-ROM contains other developer tools as well, but sadly not Warp 3 Connect.

It's OS/2 warp 3 Connect.

Can't get CD to be recognized.

Have a PCI NIC. Have to ID it to load driver.

http://www.warpdoctor.org/downloads.html has updated install disks that support larger than 4GB IDE drives and ATAPI CD-ROMs. While they are listed for Thinkpad, the drivers work with other systems.

Without any programmes running there is an awful lot of disk activity, swapfile maybe?

All up and running but can't get CD drive to be recognised

I think I did my installs using a SCSI CD-ROM reader. You probably need to find a driver for your particular drive...

 

[krebizfan]

Swapfile if you are very memory tight like 16 MB or less. Otherwise, it could just be that the WPS is quite big and will take a while to load.

For those thaty don't know this-The first version of Warp IDE CDRom drivers were terrible. IBM provided updated drivers. Try Warp Connect,

Warp 3 on a Pentium will fly. I normally run it on a 486.

 

[fjk61011]

The CD-ROM install works. However, the install doesn't set up the CD-ROM. Installing the driver from OS/2 fails because there is no access to the install CD to load the driver.

 

[Chuck(G)]

I looked for my copy of Warp 3 -- found it in a Plextor caddy, so that answers what kind of CD ROM drive I used.
Try copying the CD installation files to a floppy. It'd probably fit on a kicker floppy.

Dani has updated OS/2 v3 updated IDE drivers. My previous post still applies.

 

[fjk61011]

I installed PC DOS 6.30 and set up CD drive support. I then XCOPYied the OS2IMAGE Directory to the C drive. Booted up os/2 and pointed the installation setup to thatdirectory. CD access now from os/2

 

[fjk61011]

Next challenge is to get an isa or pci NIC working.

 

[Caluser2000]

The original Warp 3 wont have Nic support out of the box. You'll need Warp Connect or the Warp network client from Warp 3/4 server or another Warp network client such as Novell Netware.

It's warp 3 connect blue

My 3com etherlink II NIC has blown capacitors. I have an EtherLink Iii somewhere

Excellent! MS Windows 3.1x support as well.

I have Wark v3 Connect on a 486 but installed the OS/2 Warp v4 Server OS/2 network client because it supports DHCP and has a full 32 bit TCP/IP stack.
