- Sony told me that a company called On-Line was working on an OS/2
- driver for the interface card that they provide to Sony. I called them.
- The card is ONLY for MICROCHANNEL. Sony told me that they had no plans
- to develop a driver for the Sony bus ISA card.

- Right, check out the docs for the command VMDISK. You copy all of the files
- that you need (CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC, drivers) to the diskette image and make
- a DOS box boot from it.
