China DOS Union

I'm trying to install the Chinese edition of IBM OS 2 in Virtual PC5.1, but it never succeeds. Can any expert teach me how?

Wuwu, how come not a single person uses this system?

That's not for PC machines, it needs specially designed IBM hardware

Oh,,, isn't it for use on PCs????? I remember it was a system IBM used to compete with Microsoft啊

It's IBM OS/2 WARP Chinese edition,,,, installed from floppies,,, if only there were a CD installation version

Where can I download it??

I looked online too, but there was nowhere to download it,,,, I dug this out a few days ago,,,, the system alone needs 15 floppies,,, altogether it should be 45 disks I guess,,, didn't count carefully.... It errors out when it gets to the third disk,,, says: not formatted or disk error,,, I think maybe Connectix Virtual PC doesn't support disks larger or smaller than the standard 1.44MB,,,, thanks everyone,,

I still want to say a couple more things about IBM OS 2 WARP，，when it was first developed it was a system to compete with Microsoft's WIN，，and its performance in all respects was much stronger than WIN, but because of various reasons, everyone knows how it ended．What a pity
So I think Microsoft is really quite something when it comes to major marketing strategy and overall control．．．

If it's been left sitting for a long time, maybe the disk has lost its magnetism? If the VPC image has an error... is it VPC giving the warning or the host system?? Can your host system's Explorer read it?

If you can make a VFD disk image, could you send me a copy?

The first and second are both 1.4MB,, the third disk is 1.79MB

Also,,, I tried other floppy disk images too,, and ones smaller than 1.4MB don't work either, Connectix Virtual PC doesn't recognize them.

They're image files,, in DDI format,,
Mihu,,, how am I supposed to send them to you,, no mailbox that big,,

What a pity～～

But OS2 floppy format really is 1.8M, now that you mention it I remember. Maybe it can be written back onto a floppy? Hehe, that's the dumbest method, let's think of something else

Do you have an IBM OS/2 warp boot disk? I want one.
