yeah....i was a little leary of taking a 'souped up 486' over a pentium 100 
or 133 but this is a hard working little chip...and the price fit what i had 
at the time...of course, that was 6 months ago and now i could have the 
pentium for the same price...at any rate, i like it.

I'm glad to hear this.  I was a little concerned because a lot of the web 
pages mention 'flaky' hardware and problems with OS/2.  But then again, if it 
don't work, i'm not afraid to pull off the cover and change whatever it might 
need;)

Thanx.  It's sure nice to know that there is at least support somewhere for 
it...and since i've been looking around, there are several sources for it
