- danieldk 8y agoAnd OS/2 Warp, I had OS/2 Warp (and 2.1 IIRC) on 3.5" disks first, before buying the CD-ROM version later. Apparently Warp + Bonus pack was 35 disks. In comparison: Windows 95 was only 13 disks [1]. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20050819-10/?p=34513 https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20050819-10/?p=...
