I've been searching for years on how to run OS/2 1.x on modern virtual machines without success. Today, I偶然found a VHD of OS/2 1.3 that can run on VPC 2007 and a few previous versions. The download link is here, and you need to register an account to download http://vetusware.com/download/OS2%201.30.1%20Installed%20Drive%20Image%201.30.1/?id=4381 The maker of this image installed the following OS/2 1.3 on an antique 386 machine and then made the VHD http://vetusware.com/download/OS2%201.30.1/ For the usage method, set the memory of the VPC virtual machine to 16M, then boot from this VHD, and note that you need to wait about 45 seconds when booting [ Last edited by fujianabc on 2009-11-19 at 04:45 ] Attachments os2130.png (3.55 KiB)

I tried the latest VMware 7.x and found that VMware actually supports OS/2 1.3. Not only does it support OS/2 running, but also OS/2 1.3 installation. I don't know when VMware's support for OS/2 has become so good. I remember that VMware didn't support OS/2 before, but now it seems to support the entire series from OS/2 1.3 to eComStation. VMware 7.1 virtual machine configuration for installing OS/2 1.3: Operating system type: other Memory: 16M Hard disk: 0.1G IDE interface Remove the CD-ROM drive in the virtual machine [ Last edited by fujianabc on 2010-6-9 at 13:10 ]

I successfully installed it under VMWare, but I want to ask how to make VMWare support the mouse driver of OS/2.

Maybe it's because Parallels 1.0 started supporting OS2 as a stimulus
