#os2

I've had a lot of fun playing with this machine, and first off I installed Red Hat Linux 9 on it. This went off mostly without a hitch, although my USB mouse gave me issues (but switching to a PS/2 mouse solved them).

I love when installers have fun little quips. I miss when most software was fun in some way.

Installation went well, as did configuration once I figured out the mouse issue. The machine is partially deconstructed here because I needed to troubleshoot a Zip drive (I think it's just broken).

Next up that I wanted to try was OS/2 because the BIOS has an OS/2 compatibility setting and the chipset has OS/2 drivers.

I don't know if the hard drive I was using was on its way out or what though, but I just couldn't get OS/2 to install quickly at all. The first stage of copying files alone took about 24 hours. This is as far as I got before putting the project on hold.

What makes me think it was the hard drive was that it seemed to be behaving strangely and was rather noisy.

Here's a video on RHL 9, and I'll get a video on OS/2 out as soon as I continue the project :3
