This saturday, myself, our other LAN Admin, and our 2 IBM SE's will be
upgrading our 3 servers to OS/2 1.3.  We are replacing the main drive in our
domain controller (an ESDI drive) with a 300 meg SCSI drive and according to
IBM, HPFS works fine and they are almost forcing us to put HPFS on that SCSI
drive.  I guess I will find out this weekend and will post our results.

OS/2 1.3 works just fine on the IBM PS/2 90 and 95.
