Warp Factor 3, engage!

About a week ago one of our volunteers dropped off a Packard Bell Pack-Mate 3000CD all-in-one computer. The Pack-Mate 3000CD has a Pentium 75MHz CPU, a base RAM of 8MB (chips soldered on to the motherboard) expandable up to 72MB, and a 540MB hard drive. Even for a refurbisher like us this is a truly old system. It sat unused and untested for most of the week until I got the crazy idea to install OS/2 Warp 3 on it.

The Pack-Mate 3000CD was designed to run Windows 95, but we work with Windows almost every day and most of our volunteers have lots of experience with different versions of Windows. It was time to show something a little different and OS/2 Warp 3 fit the bill.
