[comp.os.os2.misc] IBM OS/2 on clone?

todd@uhccux.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu (Todd Ogasawara) (08/09/90)

Can anyone tell me you know of a clone that can run IBM's OS/2 1.2? I know
that we are slowly starting to see OEM versions of 1.2 running on non-blue
boxes, but I am specifically interested in knowing if IBM's version of OS/2
1.2 can run on some clone... Thanks...todd

We are running OS/2 1.2 with LAN Manager 2.0 on a Gateway 2000 25mhz
with 8MB memory.  Although OS/2 1.1 works fine, when we boot OS/2 1.2
with LM 2.0 the unit hangs unless we drop the processor to 20mhz.

I believe the problem lies in the IBM Token Ring card (3Com cards too)
can't handle the higher speed bus on the Gateway 2000.  My guess is that
with the new OS&LM the bus get used more efficiently or more heavily.

Todd -

     I'm running both at home and at my office, IBM' OS/2 1.1 SE and OS/2
1.20 EE on ALR FlexCashe 33/386Z. It, seems to run fine (well, for OS/2)

Which OS/2 1.2 do you use? OS/2 Extended Edition 1.2 from IBM? And who is 
the source of your LAN Manager 2.0? IBM's version of the LAN Manager 2.0
is called LAN Server 1.2 and requires OS/2 1.2 EE.

I've run IBM's OS/2 on a Tandy 3000HD (286) and am currently running
IBM OS/2 v 1.2 on an ALR SX386Z. It works well.

I am running IBM's os/2 EE on an HP vectra QS/20.  I have been running this
configuration since early April without any problems.  I have run OS/2 
LAN Server  1.2 on an HP vectra RS/20 as well.

I've run 1.2 on a Gateway 2000 386/25 with a Micronics 5a motherboard.
