- I assume you mean OS/2 2.0. Banyan has had OS/2 1.3 support for quite
- awhile. If you mean 2.0, then sorta. Official support is due in the
- "near" future, whatever that means. Currently, if you're *really*
- lucky, you may be able to get into the "Limited Availability" program
- and get test copies of their 2.0 drivers. Otherwise, as a last
- resort, you can get a login in *one* DOS box by making a DOS 5.0 boot
- image (using VMDISK), and loading the DOS Banyan drivers. If you
- take this route, this one DOS box will own your network card. No
- other app can share it (outside the DOS box). When the real OS/2 2.0
- support is out, you'll have full access to Banyan drives from all of
- OS/2.
