I am running os/2 2.0 flawlessly on my z386/20 with 6mb of memory. The only
trouble I had was with installation. I had to slow the computer to 'AT' mode
or else I got a number of floppy drive errors. This was extremely slow, but I
got OS/2 installed, set the Zenith back to 'Fast' mode, and everything has
workded fine. There is probably a patch for this, but I didn't/haven't
bothered to apply it.

I have applied a few a of the OS/2 patches, but none of them were necessary to
make OS/2 run on the Zenith.
