ArcaOS, eComStation, OS/2 - commercial

The development of OS/2 was performed by commercial companies. money is the fuel. the goal - to earn money.

eComStation: Significant part of money was coming from the sponsors.

On the other side: major part of new OS/2 applications are based on open-source modules.

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.

eComStation developer

eCo Software was the leading developer of modules for eComStation 2.0

"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.

USB Flash in OS/2

OS/2 doesn't support Windows USB FAT32 flash disks. You should re-format USB flash disk in OS/2 to FAT32. After this you can use this USB flash in Windows AND OS/2.

OS/2 Hardware Test

Testing OS/2 with different computers: i5 Gen 10, Gen 12, UEFI, ..

Web-browsers in OS/2

WebExplorer web-browser was integrated to OS/2 Warp in 1994

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.
