Has anyone tried the eCS 2.0 demo? I think there is a link to the demo at http://www.ecomstation.com .

eCS Demo which is available on www.ecomstation.com is NOT 2.0 but only 1.2R.

Version 2.0 Beta1 B is now available for download for Software Subscribtions Services users only. Includes bootJFS, ACPI, NTFS.IFS (read-only version), SNAP ENT integrated on install CD and some more features.

... and works great even on my "stupid" Acer TM230

--- What has been updated since beta1:

volumes

problems on several computers.

- Updated Gnomi network card drivers, SoundBlaster Live!, CMedia 8738 to
support interrupts higher than irq 15 (important for ACPI only-systems)

- New UniAud included to fix several issues with interrupt problems

I burned the ISO and it boots and starts the install but just after loading the desktop it stopped

I guess that is why it is a beta version? I have read similar problems with it at either the forum at http://www.os2world.com or at the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ecs-technical group.
