The white box logo is for OS/2 Warp, identifying as 3.0 by TCMDOS2 (gui 4os2). The wavy logo comes from OS/2 3.1, or 'Warp Connect'. The same picture turns up in os2 bitmap os2logo.bmp, this is the only bitmap different between the two versions. IBM - OS/2 Warp 3.0 Connect 3.0. Original and untouched ISO from OS/2 Warp Connect 3.0, incl. WinOS, Multimedia, TCP/IP for OS/2, LAN-Manager, Internet Access, in 4.rar compressed files. Apr 13, 2014 IBM OS2 Warp 3 - xxx - 8.162 - Simplified Chinese - Diskettes.zip download 49.5M IBM OS2 Warp 3 Connect - Blue - 8.162 - English - Diskettes.zip download. OS/2 Warp is available in two editions, OS/2 Warp Version 3 and OS/2 Warp with WinOS2 Version 3. OS/2 Warp Version 3 is designed to install over Windows 3.1 or its updates Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and integrate with the Windows code enabling the system to run Windows applications simultaneously and seamlessly.

The main IDEA of the project was taken from eComStation DemoCD. My version has smaller memory requirements (for eCS DemoCD => 192 Mb!!!). Tools needed for CD/DVD making:
  1. Distributive of OS/2™ Warp 3.0 + XR_W044 + XR_D003
  2. Distributive of OS/2™ Warp 4.0 + XR_M017 + XR_D003
  3. Distributive of OS/2™ Warp 4.52 (MCP2, ACP2) + XR_C006 + XR_D003
    + with additional drivers Os2Ahci, DaniS506, DaniAtapi, DaniDASD, RamFS, NTFS, Fat32, JFS/UDF etc.
  4. BCDW 1.50z (for loader menu)
  5. BCDW 2.01a (for fdd loader) - loader.rar
  6. cdimage, oscdimg from Microsoft or mkisofs (for iso-image creation)
  7. mkbootcd (for making boot-catalogue)
  8. Winimage (for working with HDD/FDD images)
  9. Nero Burning ROM.
  10. Memdisk/OS2CSM/PmVdmCC tools by Veit Kannegieser.
  11. Emulatiors. Connectix/Microsoft VirtualPC & VirtualBox.
Bootable CD creation is made in MS Windows environment.

CD contents.

Here are the components of my CD:
  • Craig's PCI Hardware Sniffer.
  • Browsers: FireFox, Mozilla, Netscape 4.61, SeaMonkey (start them from RAMFS or HPFS partition ONLY)
  • DFSEE.
  • FC/2 2.30, 2.40.
  • GRADD 0.99 + SNAP Graphics drivers.
  • IBM Theseus v3 (and v4).
  • Innotek Flash 7 Player.
  • MPTS / TCPIP 32Bit (or 16Bit) + support over 80!!! netcards. OpenGL libraries
  • mplayer, Warp Vision, Z! Player.
  • ODIN32 XP.
  • 7zip, arj, rar, lxlite, nelite, hiew, (un)zip, biew, sl, emx lib...

CD operating manual.

!!!NB : if you have more then one CD/DVD device you must boot from the first one. HDD not required, but recommended for swapfile.
If your system does not supports CD booting, loading is possible via bcdl bootable floppy (http://bootcd.narod.ru/) to run this CD on PCs w/o BIOS support for ELTORITO ATAPI CDROM BOOT (look BCDWLOADER.RAR = 3 images of fdd-loader), BUT in some cases:
1) only FDD 2.88 Emulation (HDD Emulation now works only in Warp 3.0);
2) FLOPPY must be disabled. Otherwise IBMINT13.I13 traps when in HDD Emulation mode.
The booting process is also possible using 'Ontrack Disk manager' bootable floppy ('Press spacebar to boot from diskette or Press C to boot from CD-ROM' option).(http://www.ontrack.com/) Works on PCs w/o BIOS support for ELTORITO ATAPI CDROM BOOT.

This CD supports the following boot media emulation types:
1) FDD 2.88 Emulation (2.88 Mb FDD Image).
2) HDD Emulation (40-60 Mb HDD Image).
3) No Emulation MEMDISK (4 Mb MEMDISK Compressed Image).

  1. Here is loader menu BCDW 1.50z

Plans.

  1. Install MMPM/MMOS2 (now only libraries are set), SNAP/SDD (installed, now in testing).
  2. Install browsers: Opera, etc.
  3. Install Warpoverlay.
  4. ODIN for win32 implementation (installed, now in testing).
  5. WIN/OS2 for win16 implementation (installed, now in testing).
  6. Make kernel selection (W4/UNI/SMP).

Special notes.

  1. EGA/CGA video modes work ONLY via HDD emulation. (???)
  2. Netscape works ONLY via MEMDISK option. (???)
  3. DOS subsystem works ONLY via HDD emulation.
  4. WiN/OS2, ODIN/OPEN32 subsystems may not work correctly.
  5. The CD may not be loaded with '[v] Use FLOPPY' option - I recommend to disable it.
  6. In HDD Emulation mode IBMINT13.I13 halts booting process when hdd with more then 8 Gb is detected.
  7. In FDD emulation mode IDE CD-ROM doesn't work (IBMATAPI/OS2CDROM not needed) by design.
  8. The system is in testing regime now & has some traps :)

Startup sample.

Os%2f2 Warp 3 Iso Download To boot from CD select:
For GUI-mode set marks - 'RAMFS' & 'Enable mouse'
Then - [F10].
If you have some problems booting this CD after you see 'OS/2 WARP x.x CONFIG.SYS BOOT OPTIONS' you may change boot parameters.

Manual CD creation.

To create such a CD by yourself use the following directory tree:
  • [DIR] APPS - Miscellaneous programs.
  • [DIR] BOOTIMGS - boot catalog for MemDisk.
  • [DIR] BCDW - Bootable cD Wizard 1.50z
  • [DIR] CID - OS/2 CID.
  • [DIR] FC2 - subj. & others (lxlite + archivers).
  • [DIR] IBMCOM - OS/2 Network components.
  • [DIR] IBMI18N - OS/2 Network components.
  • [DIR] LANGUAGE - UNICODE language components OS/2 (for all).
  • [DIR] MMOS2 - OS/2 Multimedia.
  • [DIR] MPTN - OS/2 Network components.
  • [DIR] NETSCAPE - subj.
  • [DIR] ODIN - subj.
  • [DIR] OS1 - root dir OS/2 v 3.0
  • [DIR] OS2 - root dir OS/2 v 4.5
  • [DIR] PSFONTS - subj.
  • [DIR] USR - some useful progz.
FDD/HDD images are made using Winimage.
IsoIt is possible to make image from 'real' HDD drive - Primary Master (C:) (better not greater then 100 Mb).
