I also have been having problems in getting OS2-Win to run in anything
other than VGA mode.  Like you I have an Osborne Computer (486DX2-66).  
I understand that the ATI mach64 used by Osborne is a customised OEM
version, and that is perhaps why the device drivers for the ATI mach64 
on the OS2 Warp CD-ROM fail to install.  If so, the additional 1 meg
may not help.

If you have been able to overcome the problem since posting your message
I would appreciate your letting me know how.
