Had some time today to wipe the PS/2 Model 76i's hard disk and prepare a DOS/OS2 dual-boot setup. First installed IBM DOS 6.3, which - despite having 5 disks - did not even take 5 minutes. Those 2.88 MB drives are surely faster than regular ones. 🙂
Was a bit surprised afterwards that IBM DOS does not seem to have any equivalent to Microsoft's SCANDISK.
Next task is to install the CD-ROM drive and install OS/2 on the second partition.
