Unfortunately, missing OS/2 2.0 drivers hardly will make Paradise go
to bankrupcy. I like OS/2, but I have a WD 90C31 chipset and no
drivers.  Thus, when I like to play, I use OS/2. When I need to work,
I switch to Windows 3.1 because Microsoft provides a driver that works
with my card and provides a suitable resolution (800x600). Note: This
is not an opinion for or against OS/2 or Windows. It is simply a fact.

Hello, IBM, nothing wrong with that "Hardware manufactures provide the
drivers" scheme?
