If you have Ami Bios, or Ami Hi-Flex Bios, press DELete or ESCape
on boot up and you will have a menu of options.

Under the Extended/chipset setup, you'll find some of these:

Shadow RAM is under the		Video  ROM Shadow C000,16K
				Video  ROM Shadow C400,16K
				System ROM Shadow F000,16K
				Shadow Ram Option
				Video ROM Shadow

Make sure all of these are disabled.

If you have a 486, pressing the turbo switch so you're on the
slowest setting usually disables both the internal and external
caches.

: 	 c:	200 MB 'C' drive (in two partitions - 115 MB and 80 MB)
: 	 d:	100 MB 'D' drive (stacked)
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
		If this is Doublespaced, I don't think OS/2 likes it.
		If it's Stacker'ed, you may Stacker for OS/2.
