The following is a quote from Micro/Systems Journal (April 1988):

"Users who have attempted to bring up IBM's implementation of OS/2 on
non-IBM systems report that, in many cases, it will not even boot, or
when it does boot there may be problems with software that works with
peripheral devices.  OS/2 bypasses the AT system's BIOS ROM making
OS/2 a more stringent test of hardware compatibility.

"Users who want to run OS/2 on AT clones and find that the vendor does
not plan to release a version of OS/2 for their systems may find that 
they will have to try implementations from different vendors in the 
hope of finding one that will run on their system."

To be sure, we don't want to try out a half a dozen or so implementations
of OS/2 only to find out that none of them work, n'est-ce pas?  Thus, 
I'd like to ask those of you who've made a similar attempt to impart 
to us your experiences.

I'd like to know whether your attempt was successful or unsuccessful.
What sytem did you try it on?  Brand name or no-name clone?  What are
your system's characteristics (disk controller, BIOS, etc.)?  Shortly,
any information that you deem relevant.

If there's interest, I'll summarize and post.

Thank you.
