G'day all

I'm thinking of buying a Compaq Deskpro EN Pentium III.  It comes with a G400
Matrox video and a Compaq PremierSound sound card.  An option is an LS 120
internal floppy drive.  I've not seen these before but it can read/write ordinary
floppies as well as 120mb disks.

Has anyone used OS/2 with a similar PC?  Anything I need to look out for?
Can I boot the OS/2 install disks with the LS 120 drive?

I'll probably have NT in there as well under dual boot - any problems there?

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers
