Hi Mark,

HG> Why this talk about Virtual OS/2?

ml> because sometimes you have to run OS/2 on hardware that is too
ml> new...

My impression is ,and it has been confirmed, that eCom and Arca-OS can
be installed/run on modern hardware.

ml> because sometimes you have to reduce your hardware count and still
ml> need to run OS/2...

Yes I know. This machine only runs OS/2 but I have two machines running
Windows 10pro that could be running OS/2 if I install that first and
then Windows, running the OS/2 FDISK to reactivate the BootManager.

ml> because sometimes you cannot be playing games rebooting and
ml> switching OSes all the time...

I don't have time nor the inclination to run games.

ml> i tried bootmanager one time and the only thing i found it good for
ml> was being able to boot to a maint install...

This machine always starts up with the BM but if I don't decide to boot
to another operating system within xx seconds it autoboots to OS/2.


Have a nice day,

Holger
