Sorry, I used OS/2 v1.1 on an adaptec RLL controller, talking to a Micropolis
80M hard disk, with no problems at all.  The adaptec controllers emulate
(in hardware) the WD1003 hard disk interface.

I think the problem is somewhere else.  Many clone BIOS's cannot run OS/2,
and there are also problems with clone keyboards too.
