Is the Intel 386SX chip compatible with OS/2 version 1.2?  I visited a
clone shop in my area today and they claim that the Intel-manufactured
386SX motherboard does not currently support OS/2!  They added that Intel
had sent them instructions on how to jumper the board to make it OS/2
compatible, and they further claimed that version 6 of the 386SX will
be compatible with OS/2, version 1.2.

Has anyone else had problems in this area?  Can the above facts be verified?
Finally, are there any problems with letting them jumper the motherboard
(version 5 of the 386SX chip) to work with OS/2?

Thanks,
Will
