Well, I gan get the FX to work right under OS/2, but my machine (a 486SX/25)
isn't fast enough to handle the overhead of OS/2 running in protected mode,
with the workplace Shell...so it locks up as if I was trying to play under
windows. If I had even a 486DX/33, it would probably work pretty well, but
probably only a little less as quickly as my 486SX/25 under normal DOS. But,
I heard (from a semi-reliable source) that ID was coming out with an OS/2
version of DOOM in early '95..
