This demo will run directly form CD, when inserted in the CD player of the computer. It will not touch the harddrive in any way, but instead run entirely in RAM memory. This enables the user to evaluate the eComStation product easily, without having to having to modify their system.
The demo CD is able to detect and configure a possible network adapter, so the user will be able to access the Internet directly from the CD. If no supported network adapter is found, it is possible to use a modem connection to dial-in to the Internet.

System requirements:
- minimum of 160 MB of system memory (RAM)
- Boot from CD supported in system BIOS
- High speed CD player is preferred
- Network card for Internet access
- alternatively an external modem
- Booting from anything other than CD (i.e. USB memorystick) is not supported

14 years ago Serenity Systems and Mensys BV reached agreements with
IBM regarding eComStation (operating system based on IBM OS/2 Warp).
(source)
eComStation 1.0 was released in 2001.
The development of eCS is performed using internal resources
(sponsor units from users and selling of licenses to commercial customers)

SSD drives are 5-10 times faster than usual hard drives, SSD are silent and cool.
Contact your locla eComStation reseller and order SSD with eComStation pre-installed.
When do you need it?
- You don't have time to learn installation procedure
and you need ready for use disk
- The cost of SSD drive is high in your city and low in the city of the reseller
- Sometimes you can't install eCS to PC and you need aux PC.

We have spent 50 hours
to upgrade and test russian LIP package
(upgrade of eCS 2.1 russian LIP to eCS 2.2 russian LIP)
We have excellent translation of eComStation User Interface to russian
language (if compare with Russian Windows).

We could see that users wait for eComStation 2.2 and need all its features
and updates as soon as possible.
Currently eComStation 2.2 beta is available
- If your computer is equipped with UEFI instead of BIOS,
switch it to Compatible with BIOS mode.
Reminder: eComStation should work with any UEFI PC.
- Genmac installation fails, install
Genmac manually (from eCo Market or ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/genmac/)
- Sunny icons are not activated. Install full shareware Sunny icons.
- If you have problem of "RAM 512 Mb",
install external video adapter to the computer
- More troubles and solutions are collected in
eComStation bug-tracker (ecomstation.com -> Log in -> Profile -> Bug tracker)

In the end of 90-th the users were expecting that
the development of OS/2 continues with new forces.
eComStation
system was founded in the end of 90-th, the development continues during the last 10 years.
General goal of eCS developers: eComStation (IBM OS/2 Warp) should run on real hardware.
There was a dangerous moment for OS/2 platform in 2007 when new generation of
video adapters flooded the market, so eCS users couldn't use the system on new computers anymore.
eCo Software was making research during several monthes, as result
Panorama VESA video driver was released
(developers of Panorama VESA).
The computers were changed in 2012 again, this required new significant changes
in Panorama VESA (Mensys BV).
Early (in 2005), the development of ACPI sub-system was started.
Computer without ACPI driver is similar to disabled robot-terminator packed to container.
To start the computer and make it work at full speed, it's necessary initialize it via ACPI.
eCo Software made the most complex part of the project - creation,
integration of ACPI-subsystem to the operating system. Several thousands of bug-reports were processed (we had several bug-trackers).
Active stage of development continued till the end of 2008.
In 2011 new generation of ACPI driver was released (Mensys BV).
New version of the driver works on any computer without blame.
The improvement of suspend/resume continues.

What applications do you recommend?
What applications to include to eComStation Demo-CD?
"It should be graphically rich, with many different screen styles,
games, tricks and hooks. We need something to get people hooked and talking about it. Even if it's a stupid gimmick."
The applications should demonstrate the power and functionality
of eComStation. Demonstrate hardware compatibility and technologies supported.
There should be some objects in the folders,
so users can click and watch something, close in 1-5 minutes.
- History: Include a flash demo (or slides) with History of eComStation / IBM OS/2 Warp.
- Games:
Mars and Sunny pills
- System information..
include an utility which shows information about the PC
and writes what hardware is supported / not supported by eCS

In the second week of April Mensys will release:
- The new updated eComStation demo CD based on eComStation 2.2
- eComStation 2.2 German and English will then be out of beta and released as a final product.
A beta of the English beta product will follow. The hold up of this
beta public is to make the transfer of the from the IBM USB host
controller drivers to the newly updated drivers. The keyboard and mouse
driver are already finished. There is currently still being worked on
the USB host controller (these communicate with the USB controller
chips in your computer).
In eComStation 2.2 ACPI has been switched on by default when
eComStation is not installed in a virtualmachine such as Virtualbox or
Virtual PC. This will enable eComStation to boot on modern hardware with a much
higher degree of success. This will also resolve the TRAPS/hangs on
loading screen01.sys.
Also in eCS 2.2 the Panorama graphics driver has been upgraded to
provide much better performance on modern hardware.
A lot of drivers such as IBMKBD.SYS, DANIS506.ADD, AMOUSE.SYS and
UNIAUD have been updated to work better with ACPI. Some updates have
been to fix suspend/resume issue's.
The current eComStation 2.2 beta is basicly complete and being tested
to work out the last installer issue's.
YUM/RPM is included but can be installed as an optional package. Its
not required.
CUPS has also been integrated in eCS to have more up to date printer
support on eComStation.
