- I agree. It would seem that although testing was done on many clones, some machines that are not
- 100% compatible and are exposed by OS/2. We had problems here at BYU with a machine that had
- continuing problems with OS/2: various system errors and the like that were not repeatable, even when
- the user tried to duplicate them as best she could. Out of curiosity we swapped machines to a Comtrade
- box and had no problems with anything. We even swapped the memory and the all the cards from the
- old box. Same software, same user and we had no problems.
