Well, last night, I unpacked my new IBM Thinkpad 700C. Preloaded with IBM
DOS 5.0 and Prodigy (wowee). So the first thing I did was install OS/2 GA
Plus the service pack. Wouldn't work, The Thinkpad requires OS/2 2.00.1.
In other words, I can't just install the GA and then the service pack.

So, does anyone know if the shrinkwrapped OS/2 on the shelves now is 
version 2.00.1 or just version 2.0. Or perhaps, where is this version
available.

Thanx, Steve Elliott

I'm not sure about this, but my understanding is that you can call up IBM's
800 number for a copy that will work.  The special version is available only
to those people that need it, i.e. Thinkpad owners, as well as owners of
certain other IBM models.
