- OS/2 1.3 and 2.0 both run fine on my 1988 Zenith 386/16. I had to update the
- Bios chip to the most recent, but that was synch problems with a VGA card and
- not an OS/2 issue. Also, the old Z449 EGA card will not work. Again, this is
- because Zenith's EGA card did not actually meet the EGA standards.

- Go for it. Its worth it to be running a REAL (is that trademarked? :-) )
- operating system.
