(Edit 2/26/2024) This build is now available here: https://archive.org/details/ibmos22.0...

A quick installation and demonstration of the official Early Code Version 1 release of OS/2 2.0, dated July 2nd, 1991. This build was released not too long after Microsoft had a falling out with IBM, and as such have no involvement at this point. Compared to the retail build, it is distributed across 13 disks as opposed to 22, with 1 being the install disk, 9 being the actual numbered disks, and 3 being device driver diskettes.

Before anyone asks; yes, these disks will eventually be made public. It's just a matter of organizing everything and scanning any documentation.

Special thanks to Stephen Chapman (ReflectiaX) for sending me these disks!
