FWIW, I called Electek (sp?) today to see about OS/2's availability.
They said it would be about 2 weeks wait (it is on back-order).

The reason I bring this up is that, last week, someone said
Electek quit selling OS/2. [Therefore, I hope the salesman I talked to
was not misinformed.]

Although I didn't actually order, the salesman said it's available
on both 3.5 and 5.25" FDs.  The price is $109 (v1.3SE).
Electek's phone is (800)395-1000.
