I would love to make the switch to OS/2, but I'd like some information on
whether my equipment is supported or not.  My equipment consists of the
following:

(1) IBM PC/AT Clone; C&T chipset; Phoenix BIOS 3.06
(2) Logitech C7 serial mouse
(3) twin 16450 UART serial ports; twin parallel ports
(4) Hercules monochrome graphics adapter
(5) 640K plus 2176K extended RAM
(6) HP LaserJet IIP
(7) IBM 101 Key Enhanced Keyboard
(8) Seagate ST-02 SCSI controller with 40MB ST-251N
(9) 1.2 MB 5.25 inch floppy drive
(10) external modem

Very plain vanilla equipment (I think).  Any potential compatibility problems?
If so, are there drivers available?  What changes would make this system
OS/2 ready for the least possible cost?

Also, are there OS/2 version upgrades for the following software: Word for
Windows, Pagemaker 3.01, Ashton-Tate Framework III?  Good telecommunications
packages?  Cost?
