HR>> Go to ebay.com. There you can find OS/2 WARP 4 for less than $50.
AS> I was thinking of getting the Warp 3 red box.... and this website
AS> you're talkign about, is that used or not? I'd rather prefer not
AS> used.
It's used. It is an auction side. You my find some interesting things - and
OS/2 WARP is there highly interesting!
OS/2 WARP 3 (red/blue spine, Connect) is since some weeks not more supported
too.
...and mainly only on CD.
To become internet connectivity you have to buy at least WARP 3 Conncet.
Because WARP 3 red/blue has only a stripped tcp/ip 2.0 - and will never be Y2K
ready.
WARP Connect and WARP 4 has tcp/ip 4.0 and there are Fixpacks to make it Y2K
ready.
So if you'll have actual Fixpacks, modern tcp/ip with fixes..... you would buy
a (used) OS/2 WARP 4.
AS> And I don't have a CD rom drive either.
Do you like to handle with more than 30 diskettes to install an OS?. Plus
approximate 20 diskettes for a Fixpack + .....?
On ebay you my find a used CDR for a few $.
On other hand if you have got a friend with a CDR you my copy all needed
diskettes from CD to diskettes. On each WARP CD is a .cmd (startable under
OS/2) and a .bat (for DOS systems) for copying the dikette images to
diskettes.
I forgot:
Hardware requirement for
WARP 3 WARP 4
CPU I386 I486 (creeps on 386 too)
Memory 12 MB 16 MB (with Voice Type 24 or more)
Disk 250 MB 400 MB (including swapper.dat)
