- I have successfully loaded and run OS/2 on the following:
-
- Micronics 386DX-16/387 with 2 M 32-bit RAM and 6M on a Bocaboard
-
- AMI bios (don't know the board) 486DX-33 with 16 M 32-bit RAM
-
- AMI bios (don't know the board) 386SX-16 with 8 M 16-bit RAM
-
- And the only trouble with hardware I ever had was with a 65MB Seagate
- RLL drive that didn't play well with the origiaal GA code, but which is
- fine using either the .ADD CSD or the Beta code (32-bit drivers and WINOS231).
-
- I currently have one OS/2 system running MFM and one running RLL -- as soon
- as I get some money I'll get a big IDE.
-
- However, I am running straight VGA (Oak and ATI Wonder) cards and don't
- have any other fancy stuff (yet -- about to try to get FTP working)
-
- Cheers!
