#Yes, OS/2 can read DOS formatted floppies.  The OS/2 floppy disk file system

 I found this to be true for PS/2 s.  However, I have just started working 
 with some 386 clones and have run into problems when I've tried to 
 read DOS formatted disks under OS/2.  I am using FAT under both and I 
 have OS/2 version 1.1
