Yes I know and with your wellstocked file department I understand that.

My system has more or less become a bulletin board as the BBS states.
I distribute ANS, ARRL, SRAL and SSA bulletins to scandinavian hams.

Well, I'm not interested in the latest hardware because OS/2 runs very
nicely on semi-old machines. I do however want to install OS/2 on a
laptop with dual core processor and maybe also on a stationary PC.

I would also like to try OS/2 on a VM under Win10 but that's not so
important because of the blue-screen presented to users because of
programming errors done by M$.

SD> Something fun: someone has written a 16-bit OS/2 shell for Linux. :)

I find no need for a 16-bit system. I don't even have so old hardware,
except the museum pieces Sinclair ZX-81 and a Triumph-Adler CP/M machine
