- Story of how "upgrading" broke things - deleted.
-
- I am tempted to say, "If it ain't broke, ..."
-
- But seriously folks (and speaking as a very happy user of OS/2,
- anomalies and all [I've got to concede, it's not for everybody]),
- this sort of thing is not uncommon with OS/2. The service pack is the
- best example (fix some things, break others).
-
- Anyway, IBM is well aware that the 2.0 Beta version of IBM1s506.add is
- the best one so far. In fact, in response to one of my complaints, IBM
- sent me a diskette containing that version. I haven't done anything
- with it yet, however, since I have not yet run OS/2 on a system that has
- a disk connected to a 506 interface.
