Dear Friends,
I recently obtained a Agie Agiecut 2F from 1999. It was cheap and advertised as broken so i am now puzzling to make it work.
To be sure the operating system is good i want to reinstall it. The harddisk in it is from 1996 and i sought for a more recent replacement.
It seems, by what i read, OS/2 is quite picky in what it accepts as harddisk. The old harddisks i searched for on internet are or used or around 200-300 euro, which is a bit excessive for a ancient 2GB thing.
A proper replacement i thought would be a SCSI emulator using flash disks. This one has the 50 pin connector. The vender page says it supports OS2.

I just requested a quote.
Would love to hear any ideas or experiences.
Best regards,
Paul
ps besides reliability the startup time is also probably better

3.5" SCSI 50-Pin Narrow SCSI SSD Disk Drive Emulator to CF (SCSI Emulator for SCSI Drives)
The CF2SCSI / SCSIFLASH 1,2 50 pin Disk Drive Emulator replaces legacy storage disk drives. It operates with many SASI, SCSI-1, or SCSI-2 drives…
