Great post about the various #OS2 #16bit server software packages by #Microsoft and #IBM like #LanManager or #CommunicationsManager: https://www.os2museum.com/wp/os2-history/os2-16-bit-server/
@Sparky there's no valid reason to use #T568A nowadays, since even the shittiest #PoE-Injectors and #Switches do #AutoMDIX!
#Cat8.1-Ethernet as per #T568B is the way to go, unless you can go with #OM5 or #OS2, then go with those #fiber standards!
In the mailbag today: a worthy OS/2 supported graphics card for my Dual-PII-Intellistation :).
Now I only need to find the 2nd CPU ... anyone ;)?
Seems like I need to extend my OS/2 shelf soon ...
@golem leider nix neues. #NetCologne entstand gerade weil die #DTAG sich verweigerte, auszubauen!
George Michaelson recounts some interesting history from the DEC world.

From the other end of the spectrum, it is interesting to observe the reasons that #POSIX initially did not specify what happened when one did ".." from the root directory. It wasn't just because of the Andrew File System. POSIX defined an API, and theoretically one that could be provided by something that was not Unix, that did not use Unix filesystems.
Early #FAT did not have a ",," entry in the root, or even subdirectories at all in very early versions of MS/PC-DOS. ".." was wasteful of limited root directory space until FAT32 came along and root directory handling stopped having to always be a special case anyway.
#HPFS did not have "." or ".." entries on-disc at all. They were synthesized by the filesystem driver from a special start record. But the root directory had one of those.
Of course, NTFS just brings us back to the #DEC world. (-:

#fleetstreet unter #os2 . Hach, war das schön :)
Ever heard of Citrix MULTIUSER? In 1990, it turned MS OS/2 into a multi-user system with serial terminals. Let’s bring it back to life! #OS2 #RetroComputing #VintageComputing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWOLxKLC5k
Puzzled, I asked, "But if you can't run the EtherLink Plus LAN Manager drivers, and you don't supply a LAN Manager driver for your board, how can you say that you support the LAN Manager?"
"I think we mean that we support the LAN Manager kind of like we support Nelson Mandela," he chuckled.

Iron Spring Software proudly presents version 1.4.0 of their PLI compiler, now able to *sometimes* handle array expressions! 🎉 Meanwhile, the world collectively wonders who still uses #OS2 and gets excited about "DOGroups" 🤔🙄.
