I'm using Triton MB, with os2 and Win95, they run greate, the only
thing i had to update is my bios, which is Award 4.50PG, and it wan
only for Win95 Conflict betwwen HD and floppy controller, beside this
the system run like a dream, especially under os2 warp. i hope this
might help you, you might get a nother view from others, which will
help you making your mind, but stick to os2 mate.
