- I've had very, very few problem with my Gateway 386/33c (1 year old)
- 8MB RAM
- Diamond SpeedStar SVGA w 1MB
- 120MB WD Caviar
- FD1680 SCSI controller with 520MB Fijitsu(sp) drive
-
- I am running with BootManager. All my OS2 partitions are HPFS.
- I run OS2 GA on one primary partition ("production")
- OS2 GA+SP w/TSENG OS/2 drivers (800x600) on my test OS/2 partition
-
- Our systems are somewhat different, but if I can help, holler.
