Just to gather some opinion about running OS/2 on a Pentium machine...
Is it very very fast ? Any known problems ? HPFS performing ok ? etc.

Didn't IBM recompile parts of OS/2 with Pentium optimisations for use
on Pentiums ... in which case it should run better than expected on
a Pentium as it will be running Pentium optimised code rather than
486 optimised code.

I may be misremembering something though !
