- Not to say that IBM should not make OS/2 work on a Zeos computer,
- but Zeos has taken a very hostile attitude to OS/2, which may
- explain, (or be explained) by the fact that it doesn't work on your Zeos.
-
- Does OS/2 GA work on your computer? You will have to use some
- patches to make it work because of the speed star 24x. The 24x
- should no stop you from running with vga resilutions under 2.1
- though.
