Just wonder if os/2 warp connect red box is available in the rest of the 
world.  Called IBM Australia, and they said it has not come out yet.

Hi, Antonio

We are IBM OEM Dealers for OS/2 and PC-DOS software, as well as representing 
OS/2 third party suppliers.  We have a meeting with our OEM Account Manager 
tomorrow to discuss a number of issues, including imminent and future 
releases of OS/2 and related software.  After this meeting I will send you a 
message to keep you informed of availability and pricing.  BTW we also accept 
Bankcard, MasterCard, VISA, Diners, and American Express cards, and will ship 
anywhere in the world for a very small charge.

Also we are manufacturers specialising in building systems running OS/2, and 
in our experience of thousands of OS/2 installs, involving about 1500 unique 
configurations, we have seen many components that do not measure up to the 
needs of any multi-tasking system, and in particular OS/2.  In relation to 486 
motherboards, we have tested particularly by stressing (maintaining 100% load 
for hours) about 85 different motherboards, only 3 ran without a hitch.  When 
it came to Pentium (586) motherboards, we tested about 23 motherboards, only 2 
were great, with another 4 good.  BTW the 3 486 motherboards that worked just 
great were all from the 1 manufacturer (Ocean Office Automation from Hong Kong 
branded as OCTEK DCA motherboards), and the most advanced of these, the DCA2 
uses 20ns 72 pin Cache SIMM RAM as well as conventional 72 pin SIMM RAM, and 
running the great OS/2 system with an AMD 486DX4-100 they keep pace with 
Pentium 90 systems (at a whole lot less money$$$).  The Pentium version is 
also due out in a matter of weeks now.

Yours Sincerely
Power-Plus Computers Pty. Ltd.
