Philip, I have been using a system based on a 25 mhz AMI MKII motherboard for a couple months now with OS/2 EE 1.2 and have seen no motherboard related problems. The one difficulty I did have was getting the printer to work. This was because the printer port was not generating interrupts (recall that OS/2 printer drivers are interrupt driven, whereas DOS printer drivers poll). The problem was solved by using a different i/o card. Sanford Rockowitz
