- I also tend to agree with you. I had a very hard time installing OS/2
- (frequent crashes, slow hdisk performance fixed by os2v2oem.zip) and
- experienced frequent crashes after installation. My problems did
- not go away UNTIL I replaced my keyboard BIOS. Somebody on the net posted
- a note from Washburn and Company about AMI BIOS problems (thank you!).
-
- OS/2 now runs very nicely. I am starting to think that I may actually
- like OS/2 better than DesqView386 :-)
