Ummm....Duhhhh...(I forgot the problem was getting it to work
with OS/2!!!)
I'll try not to rip on you OS/2 types, but sometimes I can't help
it...
THIS is what you get for being on the "cutting edge" as it were.
Namely, little or no driver support. If its as crippling as it appears,
I don't understand why people stay so loyal to OS/2.
I've tried it in 3 different incarnations (versions 1.3, 2.0, 2.1)
and every time gave up on it for precisely the same reason you can't find
a PCMCIA to SCSI or parallel to SCSI solution--no driver support.
All that fancy multitasking doesn't do a lot of good when one
can't even get drivers to run their devices...
...okay, I'll shut up now. :)
