I am sorry to say that you are quite wrong.  IBM releases CSD disks on
a regular basis. Some fix more major problems than others.

Announcements about OEM releases of MS OS/2 1.21 will be made
very shortly. Microsoft has been working with the major oems
to ensure that OS/2 1.2 is compatible with their hardware - and
at the same time siginificant additional capabilities have been
added to the printer device drivers and they have all been tested
and proved to work with versions of the major shipping and not-yet-
shipping PM applications.

Please understand, I cant preempt a forthcoming press-release, but
know that MS OS/2 1.21 cannot be obtained as yet, and that it is not
just the sum of IBM CSD disks already released.
