IBM went away, simple people live here

The Shareholders of IBM corporation and Microsoft made the decision to extract resources (money) from OS/2 in the end of 90-th.

Since year 2000, OS/2 users live alone. The billions of dollars which were on this market, are not available anymore. Simple users and investors burn own money here.

Zero reaction

Many developers of OS/2 applications were working several monthes on a project, but get 0 feedback, 0 reaction.

1) The age of OS/2 users is high, they are watching but don't spend efforts to "send likes" to every project. 2) In current situation, it's necessary create products for 100% of the users, don't make special products.

What to do? (we don't have advice)

Unique OS/2 User Interface

OS/2 is diffrent from other systems thanks to unique User Interface.

"SVISTA a-la Vista"

We have released SVISTA/2 virtual machine in 2004,

Eugene Gorbunoff have combined "Serenity Virtual Station" to spanish "Vista".

2004, 2005, there were several announcements on all major computer web-sites.
later Microsoft released OS named Vista

What application to develop for OS/2?

It's clear that we need QR-code library so other developers can create some Solutions based on OS/2.

Russian version of ArcaOS OS/2

Install english version of ArcaOS. Install LIP package with russian resources

eCo Software is working on russian version of OS/2 since 2001.

Device drivers in OS/2

Major part of OS/2 drivers are universal. Ethernet drivers are full-featured, Video: VESA with acceleration, Audio - based on linux ALSA.

You can't stop time flow..

When UEFI and other barriers appeared, we said: it's not important what is changing in the computers. You can always install OS/2 to Used Core 2 Duo PC.

Time goes and we see that OS/2 must support new models of computers because old generations are not available. don't fit the requirements.

Innovations in OS/2

IBM OS/2 Warp was ahead thanks to innovations: list of features

ArcaOS 5.1.1 - DOS works again

DOS virtual machine works again (it was working on Core 2 Duo, and didn't for i5). Install ArcaOS in UEFI mode to use DOS VM.

OS/2 can't access memory

Usually OS/2 can use 4 Gb (3.5 Gb) of RAM. BUT, For new computers (let's say, manufactured after 2017 and newer), OS/2 can access 2 Gb, 1.5 Gb or less.

Wizard (Russia)

Wizard is designing for OS/2 since 2004.

Roderick Klein (Netherlands)

If you search the word "monk" in the vocabulary - you will see Roderick's photo as example.

Roderick Klein was interacting with all developers while working on eComStation. He was working in 24/7 mode during several years.

Stream: ArcaOS 5 - ghost of OS/2

Youtube video, russian language

(not translated)

Main idea: during two hours people are discussing OS/2 without knowing what is it.

How to setup USB Audio card?

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about OS/2, adding USB audio card

If you are writing documentation for your application then we recommend: create html files and publish at the homepage of your product. So it is indexed, so you can show it to other people, discuss the document in real mode.
