This is part one of a two part article about a “real life” control system that is a candidate for moving to a VM on Linux. This control system is being used right now in a real manufacturing facility. Last year in February I wrote the article “Windows 98? Linux and VirtualBox! (Maybe)“. It is . . . → Read More: Virtual Control – Linux, VirtualBox and OS/2 or eComStation  This announcement hit the various eComStation (eCS) mailing lists yesterday afternoon: Almost all issues which have delayed the 2.0 GA have been resolved. Most of the remaining work is resolving the issues with the installer and the integration of disparate components. The ACPI feature is now reaching a point that not should delay . . . → Read More: eCS 2.0 Silver then comes eCS 2.0 GA Dear eComStation Community, A few months ago I was in a funk over eComStation and started to write up a rant based on my feelings. I spent about two hours writing, reading, deleting, rewriting, tweaking and generally wallowing in muck. I eventually became aware what I was writing was not productive.

Here are the specifications of this system . . . → Read More: Multiboot PC for FreeDOS, Linux and eComStation My company, ERA Computers & Consulting, builds personal computers and servers to customer specifications for customers that want pre-loaded eComStation, specific Linux distribution, FreeBSD, other operating system pre-installed or no operating system installed. These personal computers and servers are all x86 type systems with one or more AMD single-core or dual-core processors. We do not . . . → Read More: Building A Modern eComStation (OS/2) Personal Computer The news of the demise of IBM’s OS/2 is at best premature and at worst deliberate spread of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Disinformation). Sure, IBM is no longer selling the OS/2 brand itself and stopped supporting it in 2006. However, those who got hooked on the Workplace Shell (a.k.a. WPS) can still get their fix by . . . → Read More: Oh Where, Oh Where Has My OS/2 Gone? |
