I was wondering just how "standard" will a clone have to be to run OS/2 2.0.
I was wondering if IBM or someone is going to certify motherboards from
such well known places as Micronics, Mylex, AMI, etc. to run OS/2 or will
we just have to gamble and see if it works.  I am not too sure how willing
I would/will be to see if 2.0 runs on my Micronics 486/33 motherboard
without at least some way to return it or will it have a xx day return
policy.

Also what is the minimum config for 2.0 going to be (processor, memory,
disk space, etc).  Will it be able to run on friends' '286 clones or
will it have to be a '386.  What about a 386sx?

I know that any responses will probably not be "official", but speculation
is quite alright at this point.
