- The driver is on hobbes (something like CLIOS2CD.xxx). It's considered
- beta, but as long as you put the DEVICE= at the top of CONFIG.SYS it
- works just fine. I installed the OS/2 2.1 beta from CD on mine
- yesterday. If you're a programmer, join IBM's Developer Assistance
- program and get tons of OS/2 beta packages on CD for $15!
