Sure, Ian. It's at:

https://outpostbbs.net/files/OS_2.rar (case-sensitive)

It's OS/2 Warp 4.52 with a slightly older Virtualbox guest additions added
into it. Just unarchive it into your VBox "Virtual Machines" directory.

Please feel free to share that with anyone interested.

Later,
Sean

Hi Don Lowery

as is it just a question

Head into your TCP/IP configuration & check to make sure it's set up. Unlike ArcaOS...you have to set up your configuration to use the LAN
with DCHP.

Okay, thank you for this, I will check the TCP/IP configuration section and see what I can find.

If you decide to make the leap to ArcaOS...like myself & others...bought a
used Lenovo ThinkCentre (same type of system they use in retail outlets).
With a DVD drive...4 GB DDR3 (upgraded mine with another 8 GB) & an 8 GB SSD (which I replaced with a 1 TB laptop drive I had sitting around)...paid $50
for it (including shipping off of Ebay).

The only thing I haven't set up or found is the wireless drivers. Everything else is seen/usable. Can't even get an RPi with a complete add-on package for the price.

Want to get a great laugh...head over to look at some of the networking hardware drivers. Worked as a temp decades ago to do a move for I believe
Ford Motor Company for an office. Had to set up the systems...make sure they ran under OS/2 & would hook up to the Token Ring network...then be seen on
the WAN.
