	Noop.  I run OS/2 1.1 on a generic klone 386 sytem consisting
	of a 20 mhz AMI mother with AMI bios and a VEGA VGA card with
	no problems.  I have installed 1.1 on a number of non-IBM systems,
	and the only problems arise with poorly implemented EGA cards and
	funky keyboard stuff in the bios.
	Generally, if you can boot the install disk all the way to the
	install screen, it will run.
