OS/2 1.3 is a 16 bit version of OS/2 that runs on 286/386/486
based computers and requires very little memory.

OS/2 2.0 is a 32 bit operating system.  As such its platform
is limited to 386/486 based computers.  

Note: Since OS/2 2.0 takes advantage of the 386/486 32 bit architecture,
it allows a *flat* memory model.  This is a big plus to Unix
developers who wouldn't go near dos with its insistence on a
segmented memory model.
