- When I won a copy of 2.0 at spring comdex I installed it on my
- Z-LS/20 here at work. Its a 386sx 20 Mhz machine. I had a problem
- with the PS/2 style mouse not working, but a serial mouse fixed that.
- It ran _slow_ so I did the logical thing, upgrading to a 486DX/2. :-)
- I ran it that way for a few weeks and finally went back to windows for
- one reason or another.

- There's lots of patches for OS2. None of them were required for
- ZDS machines that I know of.
