You know what I've never seen documented (in video form): upgrading through every version of OS/2.
Is it even possible? I have absolutely no idea.
Last time, we started with a 286 based system and IBM OS/2 1.0, the plan is upgrade through each 16-bit version (in PCem) of 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, and then made it to OS/2 2.0. Next up is going to be upgrading to 2.1 and onward.
There's no official upgrade path to eCommStation or ArcaOS, so that will have to wait until a future video.
We might also try some interesting quirks of OS/2 such as installing Windows 3.0, testing some backwards compatibility and more. Ideas are welcome as we go along.
