Okay, details...I spent year running OS/2 based global networks for the =
auto industry back in good old Detroit. I even own several copies, they =
are just burried in storage and I can't get to them. Where I work now, we =
do not nor have not owned or used OS/2. I'm building a monster box upon =
which I can test various operating systems. Today, eveyone offers some =
kind of multi boot support, yet all pale to OS/2 Boot Manager. I did find =
a Warp CD, but IBM doesn't give you a way to create boot disks...unless =
OS/2 is installed and running...catch 22. So I'm just looking for three =
boot disk images so I can run OS/2's FDISK and install Boot Manager. I =
hope that help explain what I'm doing. Can anyone help me find boot disks =
with FDISK on one of them? Thanks for your help.
