- Well, if you first say that the RAM is fine even for heavy duty diagnostics,
- but not for OS/2, then say the problem is with RAM, there is ome kind of

- is some very privileged, select few RAM chips that are the ultimate in RAM
- chips. All RAM that is in perfect condition are pretty much the same, and getting
- RAM that happens to "work" with OS/2 is pure luck.
-
- Is OS/2 this picky with all hardware, making it a metter of pure luck?
- (I know I already got unlucky with my modem).
