The lastsystem I ran OS/2 on was a Pentium-90; wonder where exactly the
breaking point was? With regards to VMs I've heard it's the HPFS file system
that's the problem as others have surmised here.

I'd love to run OS/2 again in some form or another. I still do a lot of work
with console apps and loved the support for long filenames and big memory.
