- Just curious: I called IBM to try to get the Beta, and they said
- it didnt exist, and started asking me lots of questions like
- "Who said it was out, etc..."
-
- I had to dump the original beta I got (2.01 or something) that had the
- 32bit GRE, and 32Bit hpfs, because the SIO drivers totally messed it up,
- and the win3.1 unit didnt run alot of the stuff that winos2 (under GA 2.0)
- ran, even when I put in the settings to run them as 3.0 programs.
-
- Secondly, the beta with the 32bit stuff (remember this is that beta you
- could order from IBM that was out a couple of months after GA), was
- SLOWER than the GA. Wierd.
