[Discussion] Create an image of an existing OS/2 installation

[Niels Jensen]

First of all appollogies for posting to both ecomstation at yahoogroups and
Discussion at lists.possi.org. At my former place of employment they have a
heat integrated distillation pilot plant, which is controlled by an old
computer which runs OS/2 Warp. A couple of days ago I read an article about
a another OS/2 computer used for process control, and the efforts to create
an image of that system in order to run the OS/2 control software in a
virtual machine on Linux. The article can be found here

Unfortunately the system I know about have no USB ports. My first idea would
be to run DFSee from a minidisk and create an image of the installed system
on an ethernet connected system. Is that possible? I know the system has an
ethernet connection, but I don't know how to get a connection from DFSee
started from a disk to a remote drive? Any suggestions?
