- I currently run OS/2 2.0 GA+SP and OS/2 2.1 beta, booting
- one xor the other with no problems. There are times when
- both (primary partitions on different physical drives)
- are available at the same time. This is very usefull when
- I fat finger a CONFIG.SYS file, but I don't do it as a
- rule. I run HPFS.
