way back when, i started my Warp 3 Connect on a 486-33... then i moved the
drives to a PII-200 (full blooded, not celeron) and then a PII-300... at
some point, i tried a PII-450 (celeron) but OS/2 was very very very
s.l.o.w. on it... it took over an hour to boot up where i could safely shut
it down again and that took a long while, too... i didn't try a celeron
ever again after that... at another point in time, something happened to
the boot drive so i reloaded Warp 3 Connect on it again... that was on the
PII-300... several years later, the machine ate itself... i was able to
recover by cloning the drives over and installing then with eCS on a
PIII-800... i'm pretty sure that Warp 3 Connect would have worked just fine
on this new hardware if i had been able to just move the drives over...
installing it was another matter due to available memory and needing
certain updated drivers that i didn't have access to at the time... eCS was
the best way to go and certainly after Warp 4 refused to install...

basically, i'm saying that you shouldn't have to go all the way back to a
486 to install either of the Warps... a PII should be far enough back...
just watch the HD size and remember that 2Gig partitions are needed up to a
certain point... i've got four of them on one drive and two 10Gig
partitions on another drive... the 2Gig partitions were done before i found
the 2GBFIX TSR utility for DOS sessions... now that i have it, i've been
planning on adjusting things to have fewer drive letters and having larger
partitions all over... i'd love to put six HDs in and move each partition
to a dedicated HD but that means needing another PCI PATA IDE card which i
don't know if i can find these days... the next step is either a VM or a
newer dedicated system with SATA drives... the 384Meg of RAM is more than
enough for the system's usage so that's not anything i'm worried about ;)
