OK I really blew it this time. I upgraded my system to a 20MHz 80386 with an
80387, AMI Bios dated 9-15-89, CHips & T chipset. I still have an ATI VGA
Wonder with 512K, Miniscribe 3035 with Western Digital Controler. 
OS/2 1.2 no longer works! I Can't get past the boot phase. I see a "TRA" on
the screen (after the com drivers load) and the system hangs. When I tried
the install disk it hung after loading the virtual disk. In desperation I 
tried reloading V1.1EE (IBM Version). It installed OK but would not complete
the boot (screen went white like the PM background then system hung). Both
my OS/2 versions are IBM (not MS). I've been through the manuals, but they
are too superficial. My good buddies at IBM say that support is guaranteed
only for OS/2 running on PS/2 machines (they were originally bought for a
model 70).

Can anyone suggest a solution. This evenings frustration is enough to push
me back to DOS ! (As a matter of fact I'm now back to DOS) Is anyone out
in Internet land using the BIOS-CHipset combo mentioned above for OS/2?
Any help would be appreciated, please send E-Mail to ajai@sce.carleton.ca
