All people talk about 2.0 and how good it is and that it is "coming
soon" :-(

My question:
Currently I use IBM OS/2 1.2 on non-IBM hardware, a '386 with RLL disk.
It works with few problems (floppies).
Will the version 2.0 from IBM still support 386-class machines with
AT-Bus? Their own 386 machines all have microchannel bus so I can
imagine that they will drop AT-Bus support. Is this true or will IBM
support other hardware with their OS/2? I know that many people use
IBM's OS/2 on other machines and they will probably not be very happy if
they cannot upgrade their 1.2 to 2.0 from IBM ...

Thanks,
Kai Uwe Rommel
