Right! its still called the model 30 but it has a '286 and three AT slots. It comes in a dual 720K 3.5" floppy version, and a 20Meg hard disk version. Also I think they scrapped MCGA and moved up to VGA.

Well, no; when they "scrapped MCGA and moved up to VGA", they also went to 1.4M floppy disks. (OS/2 disks come in 1.2M format for 5.25", and 1.4M format for 3.5" disks.) Yes, it comes in a two floppy model. > Joel Spolsky bitnet: spolsky@yalecs uucp: ...!yale!spolsky > Yale University arpa: spolsky@yale.edu voicenet: 203-436-1483 Paul S. R.
