  20. Re: OS/2 on Upcoming OS/2 Release Will Be Called ArcaOS 5.0 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    The kernel was fundamentaly 16 bit, hence the 16 bit asm device drivers.

    Microsoft wanted windows api on os/2, but I'm sad no. Not surprisingly since ms was 100% in control of os/2 nt, they switched the primary api to a 32 bit windows api.

    Now that the OS/2 betas of football have shown up, Ms had mvdm working on an os/2 1.0 prerelease in 1987!!

    I used to think it was ms who screwed up os/2, but it's pretty clear that Ms could have delivered a killer 32bit os in the late 80s!

    IBM never got the kernel out of 16bit space

    Get ready to fight cache settings and you'll need a sub 8gb disk, preferably sub 2gb disk.

    The ide cd detection is a joke. Also have MS-DOS with edit handy to go in and fix config.sys... and make os/2 boot disks backups so you can run chkdsk, since os/2 can easily get itself into a scenario where it can't repair itself.
