I am now running OS/2 1.2, up from 1.0

1)  Which disk controllers, especially ESDI ones,
    will IBM (the only one I know) OS/2 1.2 support
    (this is on a non-ibm machine, but it runs)

2)  Which cartridge tape (DC2000 is fine, I want a low priced one)
    Will OS/2 1.2 work with.  THis probably means it needs to come
    with the driver.

3)  Where can I get source for an OS/2 compatible COM driver.
    I need to run COM3/COM4 at speeds over 9600, like 19200.
    I may be able to patch the COM01 binary, but it would be
    nicer to have source.


If anyone is interested, I have adapted some GNU utilities to 
OS/2.  I have not yet sent them to GNU, partly because they still
need more testing (debugging?)  If you are interested in either
(or both, preferably) mail.
