Because the kernal and most of the device drivers in OS/2 1.x had to load
low.  This was to support the DOS box.  Some of the device drivers are
dual mode (i.e.  they are user by both the DOS compatibility coffin and
the OS/2 sessions themselves).

And no, there ain't no way to change it.  Guess you're SOL.

Nope

I'll defer this and the next to the rest of the net......
