OS/2 bietet die Möglichkeit, ein DOS von Diskette oder Image-Datei zu starten, also ein einfaches "VirtualBox". Hat eins eine Boot-Diskette für DOS zur Hand, kann das DOS gestartet werden.
Auf meinem PC mit ArcaOS unter VirtualBox leider extrem langsam und damit quasi unbrauchbar.
Muss aber mal testen, ob ich so auch CP/M-86 unter OS/2 starten kann...

How about a chat client with #XMPP, #Matrix and #Meshcore support!? Well... Here is it. https://github.com/andreaspeters/vacuum-chat
But still many things to do. 😃 And yes, since I've started 10 years ago vacuum-im as OS/2 port, I will also publish a version for #OS2. -

B-right/V R4.5 (JP) on 86Box with Socket 7 (Dual Voltage) [1996]
TRON (The Real-time Operating system Nucleus) is one of the real-time operating systems that was started by Ken Sakamura of the University of Tokyo in 1984, and its mission is to create an ideal computer architecture and network to provide for all needs. BTRON (Business TRON) was responsible for operating system functions and was one of the sub-projects for TRON.
Fast forward, B-right/V OS version 4.5 was officially released in 2006 to provide you with a real-time operating system on most i386-compatible computers. There were efforts to get it working under QEMU and virtual machines as seen here.
Our focus in this article is testing B-right/V R4.5 (JP) on an 86Box emulated machine with an Socket 7 (Dual Voltage) [1996] motherboard. You can download the installation media for B-right/V R4.5 here. Using 7-Zip, you must extract one of the following files:
Boot-1.44M.imgunder[BOOT]bright00underBRIGHTasbright00.img
We have used
Boot-1.44M.imgas a floppy disk for the installation media, butbright00should work, too. However, don’t usebright01as it only leads to a boot error.We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:
We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:
- Machine type: [1996] Socket 7 (Dual Voltage)
- Machine: [ALi ALADDiN IV+] Biostar M5ATA
- CPU: Intel Pentium @ 90 MHz
- Memory: 32 MB
- Video: [PCI] S3 Vision968 (Number 9 9FX 771)
- Keyboard: AT Keyboard
- Mouse: PS/2 Mouse
- Floppy disk controller: Internal device
- Hard disk controller 1: Internal device
- New hard disk: BRIGHTV4500-JP.vhd
- C/H/S: 2080/16/63
- Size: 1024 MB
- Bus: IDE
- Channel: 0:0
Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image you’ve extracted, then insert the
BRIGHTV4500.isofile to the CD-ROM drive.Let the operating system start to the installation program.
You should see a single disk that has the size you requested. In our case, it’s 1022 MB. Click on the System Registration button at the right.
Leave the settings as they are, and press Create at the right side of the green dialog box.
Confirm the creation by pressing Create, again at the right. You’ll then get asked if you want a complete installation or a minimal system. We’ve chosen to install everything. Click on Register at the right side.
Specify how you want the disk to be formatted using either a long format (right option) or a quick format (middle option). We’ve decided to use quick format.
Afterwards, the installation begins.
You’ll be taken back to the partitioning screen, but, this time, you should see B-right+ and Startup beneath it.
Click on OS Boot Menu Registration at the bottom left side of the screen. You’ll get asked if you want to install or uninstall the boot menu. Since we’re installing B-right/V, we’ve chosen to install the boot menu. In this case, just click on Continue at the right.
You’ll get asked to confirm your decision in case you have boot managers installed. Since we don’t have any boot manager, such as System Commander by VCOM, click on Continue.
The boot menu installation is now complete. Now, click on Finish at the top of the partitioning window, and you should see a message asking you to remove a CD-ROM. 86Box automatically ejects the CD-ROM, but you’ll have to manually eject the boot floppy, too.
Click on OK, and the system restarts. Let B-right/V start up.
A window then shows up, asking you to configure your system for the Kana keyboard layout for the first time boot. Choose whether you’re familiar with BTRON keyboard layout or the Windows keyboard layout. We’ve chosen to use the Windows keyboard layout.
Then, you’ll get asked to select whether you want to use Kana or not.
Then, you’ll get asked for the keyboard operation method, whether you’re familiar with Windows, or if you’d like to try out the BTRON method. Finally, the setup is complete.
Click Finish, and B-right/V is now fully configured, ready for use!

IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 Blue on 86Box with Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995]
OS/2 is a proprietary computer operating system that was initially developed jointly by IBM and Microsoft. However, a feud between two companies happened, and Microsoft ended up handing the development of OS/2 to IBM. In 1987, IBM OS/2 Warp has become official, and the last major version of OS/2 Warp was version 4, which was released in 1996. The development slowly halted as it couldn’t compete with Microsoft Windows.
IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 was officially released on October 1994, and it comes in two flavors: Blue Spine which contains WIN-OS/2, and Red Spine that doesn’t contain this feature.
Our focus in this article is testing IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 Blue with WIN-OS/2 on an 86Box emulated machine with an Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995] motherboard. You can download the known working floppy boot images here.
We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:
We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:
- Machine type: [1995] Socket 7 (Single Voltage)
- Machine: [i430FX] ASUS P/I-P55TP4XE
- CPU: Intel Pentium OverDrive @ 150 MHz
- Memory: 32 MB
- Video: [ISA] IBM VGA
- Keyboard: AT Keyboard
- Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
- Floppy disk controller: Internal device
- Hard disk controller 1: [PCI] IDE Controller
- SCSI controller 1: [ISA16] Adaptec AHA-154xB
- Address: 0x334
- IRQ: 11
- DMA: 6
- Host ID: 7
- BIOS address: C800H
- New hard disk: os2warp3blue.vhd
- C/H/S: 2080/16/63
- Size: 1024 MB
- Bus: IDE
- Channel: 0:0
- CD-ROM drive 1: [SCSI-2] PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-32TS 1.03 (32x)
Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called
Disk0.img. Then, insert the OS/2 Warp CD-ROM (Installation.iso) to the CD-ROM drive.Configure the BIOS by loading the ROM defaults and by changing the boot order so that floppy comes first, then immediately saving the changes and quitting the BIOS setup.

IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 Blue on 86Box with Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995]
OS/2 is a proprietary computer operating system that was initially developed jointly by IBM and Microsoft. However, a feud between two companies happened, and Microsoft ended up handing the development of OS/2 to IBM. In 1987, IBM OS/2 Warp has become official, and the last major version of OS/2 Warp was version 4, which was released in 1996. The development slowly halted as it couldn’t compete with Microsoft Windows.
IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 was officially released on October 1994, and it comes in two flavors: Blue Spine which contains WIN-OS/2, and Red Spine that doesn’t contain this feature.
Our focus in this article is testing IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 Blue with WIN-OS/2 on an 86Box emulated machine with an Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995] motherboard. You can download the known working floppy boot images here.
We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:
We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:
- Machine type: [1995] Socket 7 (Single Voltage)
- Machine: [i430FX] ASUS P/I-P55TP4XE
- CPU: Intel Pentium OverDrive @ 150 MHz
- Memory: 32 MB
- Video: [ISA] IBM VGA
- Keyboard: AT Keyboard
- Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
- Floppy disk controller: Internal device
- Hard disk controller 1: [PCI] IDE Controller
- SCSI controller 1: [ISA16] Adaptec AHA-154xB
- Address: 0x334
- IRQ: 11
- DMA: 6
- Host ID: 7
- BIOS address: C800H
- New hard disk: os2warp3blue.vhd
- C/H/S: 2080/16/63
- Size: 1024 MB
- Bus: IDE
- Channel: 0:0
- CD-ROM drive 1: [SCSI-2] PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-32TS 1.03 (32x)
Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called
Disk0.img. Then, insert the OS/2 Warp CD-ROM (Installation.iso) to the CD-ROM drive.Configure the BIOS by loading the ROM defaults and by changing the boot order so that floppy comes first, then immediately saving the changes and quitting the BIOS setup.
Let the operating system start to the IBM logo where you are asked to insert the first diskette, which is
Disk1.img.Then, let the system start.
Then, let it pre-define the partitions by choosing Easy Installation. You can also try Advanced Installation, though we haven’t used it in this experiment.
