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.

Wenn ich die @BaFin wäre würde ich jenen #Technologiestack von #Microsoft wegen #CloudAct als unzulässig erklären da im Zweifelsfalle nicht die #ITsicherheit und #Verfügbarkeit geschäftskritischer Systeme und Vorgänge gewährleistbar ist!

  • Gab gute Gründe warum #OS2 lange bei #Banken genutzt wurde und warum die #SLES & #RHEL zeitgleich bei RZ-Infra nutzen!

Hintergrund: Ich hab auch schon fürn Zahlungsdienstleister als IT'ler gearbeitet. Die #BaFin verlangte u.a. reproduzierbar wiederherstellbare IT-Infrastruktur von Null + Backups!

Denn so sieht das aus wenn ein [mutmaßliches Nachbars-] Kind mutmaßlich ne Büroklammer in ne Kabeldose klemmt:

Wenigstens ne Art Abdeckkappe wie bei Herdanschluss wäre 1NICE!

Und ja, #SharedMedia wie #GPON / #XGPON sind nur was #Funkstörungen angeht weniger problematisch als #DOCSIS-#Kabel!

ArcaOS 5.1.1 released

It's been two years since the release of ArcaOS 5.1, which was a hugely important release because it brought UEFI support to this continuation of IBM's OS/2, ensuring longevity for the project for years to come. Since I don't think much is known about what, exactly, Arca Noae, and eComStation before it, has access to within the licensing agreement with IBM, it's difficult to ascertain just how mu

Hi :) für freunde des ehmals besten #pc #betriebssystems, #os2 #eCS
