- You receive discount coupons when you order any OS/2 2.x beta CD-ROM.
- The offers seem fairly reasonable -- good prices on some of the
- top-of-the-line CD-ROM drives. The offers start at about $400 for the
- drive (plus $100 for a SCSI host adapter if you don't have one).
-
- When you order the beta CD-ROM(s) (800-3-IBM-OS2 in the U.S.) you can
- decide whether you think these offers are worth it.
