Hi netters,

I have just seen a pretty remarkable statement concerning OS/2.  The
statement was that IBM's OS/2 supports PS/2s only and not normal bus
configurations.  Is this a fact ???  Surely not even IBM could be that
stupid ???  The claim extended to say that Microsofts versions of OS/2
did support normal buses.

This worries me with reguards to os/2 version 2.  I have heard that IBM
has extended the supported devices in v2, does this include normal buses ?
Does Microsoft intend to produce a normal version of v2 ???  Surely they
would have to if they wanted to continue products like MS LAN Manager ?
