wmarsh Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 If anyone is interested, you can run OS/2 Warp under VMware Fusion. Build an "other" virtual machine. Before starting it, go to Documents, Virtual Machines Right click the OS/2 VM, show package contents open the vmx file with textedit change the guestOS line to: guestOS="os2experimental" Warp 4 works best patched to Fixpack 5; higher won't run.

wmarsh Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Where can I get an installable OS/2 image file? People sell old copies of warp on ebay all the time. Warp 3 is easy, Warp 4 you might have to hunt awhile.

guckuck Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I tried to install OS/2 Warp Version 3. After the Welcome-Screen i get a black screen with an unterscore and nothing happens anymore. Any ideas? I followed the instruction as writen above. New "other" virtual machine and after that changing the guestOS parameter to "os2experimental".

Awesome!! Thanks, been thinking about setting up OS/2 in a vm for some time now, this came in quite handy! :-D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72630-vmware-fusion-runs-os2/#findComment-1116044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gittela Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I just have one question....... Y? SticMAC Because it's fun! I have used OS/2 in the past, it's a great os! This is just for fun and to keep the mind sharp and not forget ways to work at a problem. Same reason as to why keep my C64 around, my Spectrum, my SGI workstation... fun to tinker with. And of course, it's a blast from the past! :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72630-vmware-fusion-runs-os2/#findComment-1116517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
