Interesting.  Below is the last correspondence I had from Tyan on the
subject.  If this is really fixed it would be good to know.  BTW I'm fairly 
impressed with Tyan's tech support.  They've emailed me back answers 
to several pre-sales questions.  I haven't bought a thing (yet).  I'm eyeing
the Tomcat I now, hoping that it's as good as the now proven Titan III and 
won't have any *new* problems....

The 1365 will work find with OS/2 2.1 or 2.11. I believe we have
had problems with the driver for OS/2 Warp.
