I have W3C/W4FP12~16/MCPx/eCs1.x all running here, some are better on 
older hardware.  Keeping the applications/data on separate drives from 
the Bootable System Partition, makes it easy to test out new versions 
without losing the old, particularly if you invest in removable 
HDU-drawer units.  Drives don't have to be gargantuan!

Open-source of OS/2 is *never* going to happen - IBM don't hold the 
copyright to the third party stuff inextricably included in it,let alone

W4 Fixpack17 [28,907KB] is currently available on the SWC, for those
