- Mine came with a card that said:
-
- "Youcan use this upgrade package to install OS/2 2.o on your personal compuer
- over existing DOS or OS/2 operating systems or DOS with Microsoft Windows.
- With this upgrade you can migrate your existing DOS and Windows application
- programs.
-
- WARNING: DO NOT FORMAT YOUR HARD DISK before installing this upgrade.
- Formatting will cause loss of data.
-
- Follow the OS/2 2.o Installation Guide to install the OS/2 upgrade package on
- your personal computer.
-
- The upgrade package expects to find a DOS or OS/2 operating system on your
- disk. If it does not, you will see this message on your screen:
-
- Installation of the OS/2 2.0 Upgrade cannot proceed.
- A version of DOS or the OS/2 operating system must be
- present on the hard disk. Refer to the instructions
- included with the OS/2 2.o Upgrade package.
-
- If you see this message, contact your IBM service representative for
- assistance."
-
- That seems pretty clear.........
