    OK, I found out how...

    But I guess nobody else is interested.

    Does anyone know if you can run win95 (win32s) programs under #ecomStation 2.1?

    TIA!

    Bin heute mal wieder zufällig über meinen leider längst verstorbenen Lieblings-PC gestolpert, ein IBM Thinkpad 600X mit Docking Station. 64 MB RAM, 6 GB Festplatte. Gebraucht gekauft.

    Ich hatte darauf OS/2 Warp 4 laufen. Das war traumhaft...

    Ich hatte leistungsfähigere PCs, aber nie einen besseren.

    Die 600er waren noch offiziell für OS/2 geeignet und haben das System gut unterstützt.

    Als mein ThinkPad den Geist aufgab, endete für eine ganze Zeit meine Beschäftigung mit OS/2. Erst mit eComStation (in Virtual PC) fing ich wieder an, mit OS/2 zu arbeiten. Aber nie wieder auf echter Hardware (einen Versuch hatte ich noch gemacht, mit ArcaOS 5, aber Hardware und Betriebssystem mochten sich nicht).

    @jbz what I'd like to know is if I can run #ArcaOS in a VM or get a container version. I tried installing #eComStation from CD's in #VirtualBox, based on someone's video, but utterly failed.

    All I really want to do is run an old version of #PGP so I can extract my keys and use them as the basis for new #GPG keys. Apparently GPG's backward compatibility only goes so far 😢

    So I uploaded a copy of eComStation 1.1 for preservation sake. I said "a copy", not "MY copy", because I got this from a Chinese site that I am 100% sure will die in a few or less years.

    Guaranteed working, I tested it on an emulated slot 2 Pentium II Xeon machine in 86Box, it's in English too.

    @jwz depending on the browser you need, you might be able to do something like

    OS/2 on Virtualbox

    I tried it a while ago with a different, install from scratch methodology, and failed, but this looks more viable, and, thanks to you giving me an excuse to look it up, I now have a link to another way to do it 😋

    P.S. I do have licences for several versions of OS/2 and eComStation, but you might feel differently about this approach.

    @loke

    First experience in 1993 (AFAIR Slackware) on my 80386 with 8 megabytes of memory. From 1997 (SuSE Linux) I had it installed in parallel with #OS/2 and later #eComStation, which was primary. From 2007 and on it has been pure #linux (openSUSE) on desktop, laptop and server. From 2010 i also have used #linux on my phone (#Maemo on the n900 succeeded by #SailfishOS).
