    If you really want to install this, use 86box/pcem/varcem.

    VistaFan6002, you can install it on VirtualBox. I did it with no problems.

    It installs fine in virtualbox. Just make sure to use only 16 MB of RAM and a 500 MB hard disk. Also, make sure to select 1.30.1 or 1.30.2, as those will handle newer processors.

    I have every version of OS/2 (Both IBM and MS) on VirtualBox. Not only 1.30.1/1.30.2. Even 1.0.

    OS/2 1.30.1 is working really fine on Virtualbox, thanks to the linked tutorial.

    The last one... Its filename states it'sSwedish; however the corresponding language column states English.

    Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.

    I remember this version well.. first time I'd used remote console / remote management (a product called 'Decaff') also this version included a full range of print drivers so all our OS/2 print spoolers worked again :smile:

    I've been playing with IBM 1.30.2 Standard Edition and Word 1.1B and Excel 3.0 crash with Trap D in a system call but work fine on 1.30.0. Is this just me, expected, or is there something wrong with the dump?

    My 286-20 gives Trap D during install diskette boot unless I disable turbo. I need to keep turbo disabled throughout the installation and whenever I want to run the installed OS. Tried 1.30.1 and 1.30.2, and replaced BASEDD01.SYS with that from the service pack ISO. Nothing seems to help.

    Anyone gotten past this?

    Word 1.1B can't launch in 1.30.1, and crashes with trap D in 1.30.2. Installing WR05200 on top of 1.30.2 even makes the print manager to crash with trap D immediately upon entering the desktop.

    I own a legit copy of OS/2 1.3 Extended edition, and my floppies went bad before I could backup all of them. Of the disks I was able to backup I compared them with the files in this archive, and they were 100% identical (md5sum over the entire disk image). I've been searching for years for the exact same version I own, and now I have it. Thanks!
