Hello,
I've been reading this newsgroup for 2 months, and I'm getting more and
more interested in purchasing OS/2...but
I own a Toshiba notebook (a Dynabook V 386/20) with 6 Mb of RAM and a tiny
40 Mb hard disk. According to the consensus, 8 Mb of RAM would be better
but it seems possible to run OS/2 on 6 Mb.
Actually, my main problem is the hard disk.
Although I haven't got a lot of applications, I would like to keep at
least 10 Mb of free space on my hard disk. This raises two questions :
(1) Is it possible to satisfy this condition if I install
the complete OS/2 package (i.e. with the WPS) ?
(2) Same question, but without the WPS ?
I think that I will eventually buy an external hard disk. However, these
kind of devices can only be connected to the parallel printer port,
either (a) directly, or (b) through a SCSI adapter.
(3) Does anybody know if these kind of hard disks can be
recognized by OS/2 ?
In fact, I would be very happy in hearing news from people who have already tried (or managed) to install OS/2 on this kind of laptop (especially Toshiba ones).
