-> Maybe you could find an OS/2 Warp 4 installation kit = 2 CDs

If somebody makes ISO images and posts an Emule link, maybe I can ...

Those too.

-> That is a good solution. The OS/2 Warp 5 operating systems requires
-> very little processor power and occupies only 120 Mb on the HD. That
-> means that you have plenty of space even in a 1 Gb partition.

Not so good really. Motherboards of that vintage are 20 years old now.
That exceeds the life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitors onboard.
They can be replaced at small cost, if you can do the job yourself, but
it requires steady hands and good eyesight.
