In moving from FL to TX, my PS/2, 9556, with a CD-ROM, 16mb ram, 1gig HDD in beautiful shape, got "lost" by Mayflower! I am an OS/2 collector, having run the OS from 94-2008. I also had an XGA-2 with the 1mb of vram, and a network card. I have checked all around the Austin area, and have come up dry. I have been interacting with this group for many years, and hope that someone can help me. TIA, Bob Grimes -- "What do you mean there's no movie?"

Mayflower lost the damned thing, along with most of my entire OS/2 collection!!!! I have replaced, through ebay, Warp Connect and Warp 4, two books on Warp 3 and 4. I am looking for a replacement computer, any PS/2 with the same type of specs that my 9556 had. In fact, you sent me the 1 gig HDD for that 9556 in the late 90's. The movers lost my Stardock Object Desktop, which so far, I have been totally unable to find. I did manage to find Lotus SmartSuite 96 for OS/2 again, but the main problem is no computer to run OS/2 on. -- "What do you mean there's no movie?"

Lorenzo, it has been a long slog since the start of September. Dove season, now Woodcock, Pheasant, then unfortunately Deer season. My Brittany Spaniel is continuing to develop, but it is slow since we might see one or two birds for the morning. The flight does not appear to be down here yet. Tuesday was a nice day, Belle found a down Woodcock and she pinned it to the ground. I suspect shes not having anything to do with one getting away. Not a toothy mark on it. As you can tell, micro channel activity is by exception only. > Louis - how've you been? =) >

Also note that while "the purists" require a PS/2 to run OS/2, the later OS= /2 versions (like the version 4.52 e-business edition) run quite nicely on = more common, later IBM Type-Models with Pentium 4 processors (including typ= es 6792, 8305, 8141, 8187) and most of the Netfinity class server machines. So if you can't find the "right PS/2 at the right price", you have other op= tions (unless you insist on keeping your "purity score" high).

Rick, is that the vaunted "purity test"?

It is not for purity, it is because I have Warp Connect. I used to have several copies of the 4.52 distro, I was a Software Choice subscriber. -- "What do you mean there's no movie?"

ThinkPads until 560E should also run fine. -- Andreas

Nope, the "purity test" applied to certain activities, traits and attributes of people who participated in IBM's internal forums (geared towards, but not exclusively targeted at the IBMPC forum community). My personal score was not very "pure".
