(While ArcaOS can utilize the Intel HD Audio adapter, better fidelity is generally obtained with the SoundBlaster 16 emulation. Select Audio, and ensure the Audio Controller is set to SoundBlaster 16, that Enable Audio is checked at the top of that page, and that Enable Audio Output is checked below the adapter settings. Be sure to leave the Hot-pluggable option unchecked for both the hard disk and the optical disk. Select the virtual hard disk now attached to the SATA († – AHCI, in VirtualBox 6.1) controller, and under Attributes on the right, set the Solid-state Drive option, if desired, to improve seek performance (it is not necessary to have a physical SSD installed in the host system for this option to be set or for its performance boost to be realized this is just to have the virtual disk behave as an SSD).

Select the newly added ISO and click Choose.

Click the Add button above the list of available drives, and browse to the ArcaOS installation ISO.

† – In VirtualBox 6.1, the Optical Disk Selector is automatically presented.

Back at the Storage Devices list, click the Add optical drive attachment button to the right of the SATA († – AHCI, in VirtualBox 6.1) controller, and select the option to Choose disk.

This will still show as Attached (to a controller) because no changes have been saved as yet.

From the list of available drives, select the virtual disk which was previously attached to the now deleted IDE controller.

Click the Add hard disk attachment button to the right of the SATA († – AHCI, in VirtualBox 6.1) controller in the list, and select the option to Choose existing disk.† – In VirtualBox 6.1, the Hard Disk Selector is automatically presented.

† – In VirtualBox 6.1, this is listed as AHCI (SATA). 1 device=1 port, so one virtual disk drive and one virtual DVD drive would require two ports in total.

#ORACLE VM VIRTUALBOX INSTALLER DRIVER#

Set the Port Count to a reasonable number to accommodate your devices (the AHCI driver recognizes a maximum of 16 ports per controller, so anything higher than this will be ignored by ArcaOS, anyway). The option to Use Host I/O Cache should be checked.

Right-click in the Storage Devices list to access its context menu (or click the Add Controller button below the list) and select Add SATA Controller.

Right-click the IDE controller and from its context menu, select Remove Controller (or press ).

Do not enable 2D or 3D acceleration, as these will likely provide no performance improvement.† – In VirtualBox 6.1, be sure to keep the default Graphics Controller of VBoxVGA. This value may always be adjusted after the VM has been created.

Select Display, and set the video memory as desired.

† – In VirtualBox 6.1, VT-x/AMD-V is assumed to always be available. (See notes above about hardware virtualization being required in the host system.) Leave all other System settings at their defaults. This should be the default setting for an OS/2 machine type. On the Acceleration tab, ensure that VT-x/AMD-V is enabled (checked). On the Motherboard tab, ensure that Enable I/O APIC is selected.

Once the VM has been added to the list in the VirtualBox GUI, select Settings, and then System.

(Additional virtual disks may always be added later.)

Configure a virtual hard disk of 2GB ( dynamically allocated is fine), and of either VDI, VHD, or VMDK.

In Expert Mode, the settings look like this: Set Memory size to 1024MB (minimum recommended: 512MB). Select IBM OS/2 as Machine Type, and Other OS/2 as the Version.

The following assumes the use of the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager GUI. This configuration still requires refinement for optimal use, and we are working with the VirtualBox team to improve the defaults.

New as of VirtualBox 6.1.32 is the ArcaOS IBM OS/2 subtype.

We will attempt to keep this page updated with major changes as we become aware of them. Later releases of 6.0 and/or 6.1 may also introduce layout changes.On other host systems (Mac or Linux, for example), the layout of some screens may differ from these images, even for these versions, but the terminology should be consistent.Where screens or textual items differ with VirtualBox 6.1, they are noted with “†” in these directions. The screenshots here were taken under VirtualBox 6.0.14 and verified under 6.0.24 on Windows.Check the host system’s BIOS setup options and manufacturer documentation to be sure this is available.

#ORACLE VM VIRTUALBOX INSTALLER MAC OSX#

The following directions apply to VirtualBox 6 on a Windows host, though Linux and Mac OSX hosts configure similarly, as does VirtualBox 5 on these platforms.Īs with all hypervisors which are to support OS/2 guests, the host system must support Intel VT-x or AMD-V hardware virtualization. VirtualBox officially supports OS/2 guests, however, there is currently no ArcaOS-specific machine configuration available.
