Hardware and Software

The hardware and the operating system of oldcomputers.dyndns.org

I use ECS (OS/2). As it is an older operating system having problems with todays fast machines I decided to use an older one with less power and speed as
this is not needed. The web server runs under ECS 2.1 ( OS/2) and I got this version from www.ap-com.de/software/ecomstation/.

Today:

The OS/2 runs on a virtual machine using VirtualBox on modern hardware and host operating system.
A second system on real hardware is in standby mode if the 1st system will be down.

1. VirtualBox on modern hard./software

2. Arm cpu driven small computer with Debian and a light httpd web server.
    The small system is a sheeva plug computer with an external usb harddisk. As the sheeva plug was released in 2009 it's more or less unknown today
    so here is a link to wikipedia and a howto install debian on the sheeva plug including some nice pictures (opened in a new windows).
    I added a external psu as the original died after a year because of a blowing capacitor and less cooling.
