We are planning a vintage OS/2 museum for this year's Warpstock event in
Hershey, PA (October 6-9).  I'm still trying to round up the hardware to
run most of what we will have, but so far it looks like we will have most
of the OS/2 1.x versions, 2.x versions and probably some of the Warp
versions as well.  We will also have vintage applications as well, such as
Microsoft Word for OS/2 (yes there actually was both a 16 bit text version
and a PM version of Word), Excel for OS/2, WordPerfect for OS/2, games and
lots of other things you may have never even seen.  We also are working on
having a genuine IBM PowerPC running OS/2PPC, which would give people a
chance to see this rarest of IBM releases actually running.  

If you have something that you can bring along that you think might be of
interest, please let us know.  We will try to have a couple machines
available for playing with.  Since we already have a sizable collection of
software, you might want to check that we don't already have it first.  We
could use some help with hardware though, so if you have any vintage AT or
PS/2 machines and you can bring it (assuming you are driving), please let
us know.  We are trying to avoid having to pay to ship these well built
but extremely heavy machines.  If you are looking to donate your equipment
to a good home, we are in the process of looking for a place to house the
collection after the event.

We will need a few volunteers to watch the exhibit area, mainly just to
provide security, but if they are knowledgeable about the vintage versions
of software and hardware that would be helpful, but not required.  Anyone
that can help with that, and also setting up the equipment please contact
me - os2museum2005{at}warpstock.org  As at all Warpstock events, access to
the exhibit area is free to all.
