- Tim is right. Just get access to one. Santa did not give me the ROM drive
- I wanted, so I will use my friends drive, along with the old OS/2 beta
- *disks* (that were supposed to be erased anyway ;), and make my new beta.
-
- Pretty nice of IBM to put this feature in to allow distribution. I wonder
- if the NT kit has the same thing. I doubt it
