Thanks! It's really hard to find any info online and even for the Slovenian version we just have a copy of a copy of the original installation CD and no photos

  Yeah it's really odd how much OS/2 software has been lost considering the last IBM release of OS/2 Warp was only December 2001. Thanks for your work. Personally, I am currently debating buying a ThinkPad T23 or T30 and dual booting OS/2 Warp 4.51 and Arca OS 5.1

    I was a keen OS/2 2.x user. I reviewed ArcaOS: https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/04/arcaos_51/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/04/arcaos_51/ ... and interviewed one of the project leads: https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/19/retro_tech_week_arca_os/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/19/retro_tech_week_arca_... So when I read this: > dual booting OS/2 Warp 4.51 and Arca OS 5.1 ... I laughed, bitterly. It is still _extremely_ fussy about installation and across 4 test machines I never got ArcaOS to dual-boot with anything except a single basic IBM PC DOS 7.1 setup. Anything more than a single bootable primary partition in BIOS config is highly unlikely to work, in my experience. In UEFI mode it's even fussier and of course actual IBM OS/2 won't run then. Forget dual booting, except maybe with DOS. Trying to dual boot two OS/2 instances sounds like a recipe for hair loss or a cardiovascular incident. I don't think I'd try to do that if you paid me. Paid me a lot.
