I am about to buy a 386/333 MHz motherboard upgrade. I've heard some horror stories lately about incompatibility between OS/2 and various BIOSes. Can anyone comment on this situation? Specifically has anyone had problems with OS/2 (you name the version) on a motherboard with an AMI BIOS? How about on an actual AMI motherboard?

When you get that running, let me know. Any machine with a 3 nanosecond clock period that doesn't use liquid nitrogen cooling has got to be something. Maybe this is the Cray PC/MP? :-) -- Tim N Roberts, CCP ...hplabs!tektronix!sequent!gssc!timr timr@gssc.gss.com If Rosanne Barr were a cartoon, Graphic Software Systems she'd be Homer Simpson's mother-in-law.

I'm running IBM OS/2 v 1.2 on an ALR with a Phoenix bios and Microsoft
OS/2 version 2.0 on a noname clone with an AMI bios. Make sure that
the keyboard controller is the KD revison level since in the K8
version the arrow keys do not always work.
(OBTW both machines are 386sx.)
