As I said I pulled out a ECS K7VTA3, Athlon 2200, and put in a ECS
755-A2, Athlon 64 3000.  I have not done an install of OS/2 for a long
time.  I just clone the old machine on to the new and tweek the
drivers.  I do the same with Win98, but I may do a reinstall just to
clean out the trash.  With OS/2, I know where the pieces are.  With
Win they are too scattered for me to find.

I put the old MB back and returned the machine to duty and started
over.  I put the new MB in a simple case with two FDD, two HDD - both
master - and a rather old CD burner, and a PS2 KB and PS2 trackball-
A4 WWT-5E, I have several, they work fine, even the scroll wheels in OS/2.

DRDOS and Win98SE seem OK.  OS/2 has no access to the desk top; no
cursor, and tab and arrow keys do nothing.  CAD works.

While booted from DOS:
PM6 says error #100, "Partition table is bad", and closes.
PM3 runs and says check failed for all FAT16 and 32 partitions, HPFS OK.
DFSEE seems happy.  I had it create new MBR for both drives.  No
change to above.
