I am thinking about doing some development work using OS/2 & Presentation Manager and have the following questions: 1. Hardware: What is the best (386) system to do developement on? I am worried about compatibility of clones in areas of OS/2 support. How many machines besides IBM PS/2 model 80 are good for this purpose? Compaq? Dell? Zenith? I would like to keep the price of the system as low as I can! 2. How much memory (RAM) do I need for this system? I would like to get by with minimum amount for now (because of high cost of DRAMs). Note that I would need to run both OS/2 *and* Presentation Manager. 3. What is the minimum development system software? Does OS/2 development kit from Microsoft contain OS/2 itself? If not, what are the prices for all the pieces? Does Quick-C from Microsoft run under/support OS/2 (outside of DOS compatibility box)? What are the prices? 4. How much disk storage is required for all the required software? Thanks in advance!
