- I have heard that Wing Commander II should run fine under OS/2, but I am
- having trouble. I can play for a while, until I die or complete a mission
- and then OS/2 gives me an error. I don't remember they sysxxxx number, but
- it means an illegal 386 instruction was issued. At first I beleived the
- problem had to do with an error in WC2, as I had to make a copy of one of
- the original disks because it had errors and would not install. Then I loaded
- WC2 on a DOS machine and it worked fine.
- BTW, while WC2 is running under OS/2 it is faster. The disk access is much
- faster with HPFS than with FAT.
- If anybody has any suggestions, could you please send them to me.
