-> Ok, finally getting some steam rolling over here and porting the
-> InterMail and other apps over to see about supporting OS2 as well.

First off, welcome to the echo, Dale :)

-> So with ARCA, are there any do's and don'ts when installing it.
-> Anything special to support DOS apps?  Small C drives, certain drive
-> or video setups?

If you are installing under VirtualBox, you will need to install the OS/2 
Additions package.  There is a README file there that will tell you how to do 
that step by step.  Also, when installing under VirtualBox, personally, I 
recommend using the generic GRADD video driver as there is a replacement for 
that in the VirtualBox OS/2 additions that will help out video wise.  At least, 
it's what I use and I have no issues (so far) with it.  I also use SIO2K for 
the communications driver as well since it's pretty straight forward to set up 
and get the virtual modem application, VMODEM.EXE, running.  If you need any 
help, just reach out :)

As for drive sizes, ArcaOS can support most modern capacity drives.  I have my 
virtual disks for ArcaOS set to 750GB and it runs fine without any issues.
