OS/2 1.3 and 2.0 both run fine on my 1988 Zenith 386/16. I had to update the Bios chip to the most recent, but that was synch problems with a VGA card and not an OS/2 issue. Also, the old Z449 EGA card will not work. Again, this is because Zenith's EGA card did not actually meet the EGA standards. Go for it. Its worth it to be running a REAL (is that trademarked? :-) ) operating system. -- chad price@helios.unl.edu cprice@molecular.unmc.edu
