I started my computing career with OS/2 . I am downloading the full archive now and I hope to make it available on Mega by the end of the week.
I’ll try to set up a torrent seed while I am at it too.
EDIT: Here is the Mega link.

If you post the magnet link I will put it on a seedbox and forget about it for a while ^^

Hope the Internet Archive can back it up, I guess.
My first not embedded OS! Actually not… It wasn’t the hipster “warp”… Boy i am old 😅
Never seen an OS/2 computer in the wild unfortunately. How similar was it to Windows?
1.3 wasn’t really great, although it was used by a number of embedded systems such as ATMs and the like. Version 2.0 was actually quite good. It could typically run DOS and Windows software in addition to native stuff. I got one of the Wing Commander games to run on it.
Sadly, there were basically no native applications, so there was no point in switching from Windows. So it never took off.
For someone who has been on the internet for quite some time, that archive was one of the later ones 😃
Anybody remembering wsmr20.army.mil, especially accessing it through bitftp@pucc (yes, that was the complete address, no com or edu!).
