The equivalent driver in OS/2 is E1000.OS2 ("Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection").
I am running under a Windows host but I would hope the answer will be the same:ġ) Use " Intel PRO/1000 MT Server". Q:What "network adapter" to use in VirtualBox OS/2 Guest? Or check that VT-x hardware virtualization is turned on in your computer's BIOS. That means that your computer has to be modern enough to have that feature.įAQ / Troubleshooting Question: ArcaOS, eCS or OS/2 freezes on booting, showing only the logoĪ: Check that your computer has the VT-X mode enabled.
Some testing with shared folders had been documented at VirtualBox IFS - Sharing Folders.ĭocumentation is available on the VirtualBox site to install several Guest OS's: Īccording to the VirtualBox Documentation, OS/2 MCP2 was reported to be stable but it requires VT-x hardware virtualization support. VBOXMOUSE.SYS will replace AMOUSE.SYS and your config.sys will look like this: If you are running ArcaOS guest on a window, you don't have to disconnect the mouse with "Ctrl Right" to control the host OS.
It had been tested with Windows 10 as host and ArcaOS 5.0.3 as guest using OS/2 Guest Add-ons. You can copy+paste text from Windows or ArcaOS without problems after installing the OS/2 Guest Add-ons.īe sure to enable the shared clipboard (bidirectional) on the virtual machine. It has been tested with Windows 10 as host and ArcaOS 5.0.3 as guest. The shared clipboard integration is working. You can use a Windows program called "WinImage" to generate your own IMA Diskettes imaged. On the settings of the Virtual Machine on "Storage" you can add the diskette drive. The diskette integration is very easy too: Here it is some sample on the parameters on config.sys for USB: USB virtual ports are working on the platform. Access the settings page for resolution and select the new one. This will add the new resolution on the ArcaOS Screen Resolution options. Turn on the guest OS/2 or ArcaOS and on the /SNAP/ directory run: You will get no confirmation from this command code. Vboxmanage setextradata "ArcaOS 5.0" "CustomVideoMode1" "1366x768x32" VBoxManage setextradata "" "CustomVideoMode1" "1366x768x32"
Using the SNAP drivers you can get a custom resolution.įrom the host machine you can add a custom resolution support to the guest OS with the following command: Pending: Finding out to set HD resolution. "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" setextradata "ArcaOS 5.0.3" "CustomVideoMode1" "1920x1080x32"Īfter that boot the guest ArcaOS machine and you can see the resolution on the "System Setup - Screen" This is a Windows 10 host example, with the VM turned off execute: You can do that from the command prompt of the host.
Sometimes you need to configure the guest machine (from the host OS) to get a custom resolution. InstallationĬopy the vbxgradd.dll file to the C:\OS2\DLL folder.Ĭheck that you have REM out any other "set c1=" or "set greext=sddgrext" from the config.sys. This driver is available on Valery Sedletski OS/2's guest additions files. So it may be recommended to use GENGRADD or VBOXGRADD. But SNAP and Panorama are not really necessary and may be generating some little overhead according to some opinions. It had been reported that GENGRADD, VBOXGRADD, SNAP and Panorama drivers may work on the guest virtual machine. The MMLEM.OS2 (Multimac) will work fine with the three virtual Intel network adapters.Īlternative the E1000.OS2 driver may work too, but it is an older driver. Using UNIAUD (UNIAUD32.sys - 2.02.05 / 22:20:21) (UNIAUD16.SYS - 1.09.7 / 17:11:40) included in ArcaOS on you config.sys will look like:įor the PCnet-FAST III you need to install the "AMD PCNet Ethernet Family Adapter" that is included on ArcaOS.įor Intel Adapters ArcaOS will select the Multimac driver. If you select "ICH AC97" as device of the Virtual Machine, it will work with the UNIAUD driver. Included PCnet-FAST III on ArcaOS Installer Included ArcaOS USB driver and Netlabs' USB Drivers VBXGRADD, GENGRADD, Panorama or SNAP Graphics You can improve some performance of the guest machine installing some different drivers or tuning some of them. It will install and run with the drivers ones included on ArcaOS 5.0.x. Within this application, additional operating systems, each known as a Guest OS, can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment. It is installed on an existing host operating system as an application.
VirtualBox is an x86 virtualization software package, originally created by German software company InnoTek, now developed by Oracle as part of its xVM virtualization platform.
