Microsoft OS/2 1.3 Notes
- Crashes on first disk install (Thanks Andrew Clarke)
- Microsoft OS/2 1.3 won't work on any system with a PCI bus, which
explains why it won't work on VPC (Thanks Benjamin Armstrong)

OS/2 1.x won't work in VPC, but not because of the PCI bus issue, as I
successfully ran it (OS/2 1.3) on P5-166 with PCI bus, and I know of a guy
who ran it on PIII-800, which surely is a PCI machine. OS/2 1.x won't run
because of all the black magic of the OS/2 versions for 286 processors. I'm
not so technically skilled to be sure with the reason why OS/2 1.x won't run
in VPC, but running OS/2 1.3 on a PCI machine requires just an application
of a free IBM FixPack (still available), however, that still WILL NOT make
it run within VPC.
