re: OS/2 1.2 and 1.3 support of FAT file system

Yes, OS/2 1.2 / 1.3 support both HPFS and FAT (both with large
partitions).  


Someone else already mentioned this but...

OS/2 1.2 and newer supports 'installable' file systems.  If a new
media comes along (like CD-ROM), write your own file system
and stick it on OS/2 yourself.

re: OS/2 is easy for developers and hard for users

Yes. OS/2 is a great development environment simply because it is
multitasking. Windows doesn't cut it as a multitasker.  If you are
a developer of software that is DOS/Windows based, OS/2 is your system.

No. OS/2 is just as user friendly for users as Windows is.
