Subject: MB doesn't like OS/2

A while back I came looking for help to get a printer working.  I 
thought the C80 worked but the C82 did not.  I have reviewed the history 
of this machine; printing never worked.

Other things that don't work under OS/2:

Cannot install OS/2.  Tried several UpDateCD disks that worked on other 
machines, also tried eCs 1.1.  Don't recall exactly where it failed. 
Cloned OS/2 on this machine from another machine.  Seems to work OK in 
general except for the following.

System Commander does not put OS/2 on it's menu if OS/2 was the last OS 
booted.  V-Comm says "yes, they know, happens on SOME machines".  OS 
Selector by Acronis is OK.

Partition Magic 3.0-3.05 for OS/2 won't run; it's OK on other machines.

All versions of Snap come with a new version of VSVGA.SYS.  I have to 
revert to the original 1996 version or cannot get a DOS window.

WordPerfect DOS cannot get a cursor in a DOS window; even with 1996 
VSVGA.SYS.

I can print a text file from a command line, but any attempt to print
from a GUI - drag-drop, Warpzilla\Print - is ignored by the printer.  I
have tried with the print job box open.  An object appears and then
disappears, but the printer doesn't respond.  It is connected to LPT1. 
I get the same result across the network from another machine.

All the above, where applicable, work OK under DRDOS and W98SE.

1.7G Celeron
2X 256M SDRAM, also space for 2 DDR

Before I toss the MB, any ideas?
