os2 and its perfectly functional drive partitioning :)

if you give it like 10gb hard drive the entire thing fucking falls to pieces

@lyncia@social.pixie.town I would install os/2 on my thinkpad 380ed, but it only supports internal drives of up to 4gb (and even then I think 4 is an issue) and the old magic tricks to go past that are pretty much impossible to find or don't work right

@theking theres a hour and a half long video on youtube of a guy (druaga1, "Installing OS/2 On An SD Card) learning this the hard way

i only do os/2 in virtual machines for good reason

@lyncia@social.pixie.town oh I should've been clearer, the laptop bios only supports 4gb, it won't boot or post with more than that

(Also I know druaga1 already lol)

@theking OH.
thats a new one for me. I have never encountered a machine like that before.

@lyncia@social.pixie.town I was hoping it was partitions that were the issue...
Nope, a driver larger than 4gb does not boot at all, no bios even

@theking thats like how the original R4 cards didnt support sdhc so anything over 2gb was a nogo
