A little more may help.
1) OS/2 Warp with no built in windows support as an upgrade for people who
already have DOS and Windows. Will run windows stuff by using your
existing copy of Windows 3.1
2) Same for people who are using OS/2 2.1 w/ windows
3) OS/2 Warp with Win-OS/2 allows people running Dos to upgrade to OS/2
and to run windows programs without needing a copy of windows.
4) Same for OS/2
Now if only I could get the thing to recognise my SB-16 w/ Sony CDROM I
would be able to actually try this thing!
