Then you know 1 gig is only recently considered small:-)

I haven't found that to be true, but both are pigs.  Anyway, my 486 has no LBA 
either, and I run no disk mangler crap.  Just in case you don't know, OS/2 has 
no need for a Disk Mangler on large drives.  The trick is to define your large 
drives in you bios as some combination that comes out to 504megs, then, create 
a boot partition that fits totally within the 504 meg limit for non LBA boot
partitions.  (150-200 megs is more than enough for a warp 3 boot partition)
The rest of the drive can be as big as you want using HPFS.  This is the
prefered method anyway, no need for giant partitions used for booting the OS.

Also, my 486/66 runs about as fast with OS/2 as my P133 at work runs WIN95,
faster for most things, slower for a few things.
