- NONE. I installed and ran all of the beta releases and the only "problems"
- I had was running duel-boot and getting EA's messed up. I have run HPFS
- only since LA and the system has performed flawlessly. I used Windows for
- three years and have yet to get the system configured to the level where I
- can do the same work as effortlessly and reliably as I can now with OS/2.
- I run DOS, Windows, and OS/2 apps.
-
- My system:
- Zenith 486/25 EISA
- 16 Mb RAM (initially 8)
- 170 MB IDE HD
- Using 16" VGA (only because I cannot get TIGA drivers)
- HP IIP Laser printer
-
-
- Actually, OS/2 has made working on my computer so much fun the real
- problem I have is forcing myself to take brakes.
