Hi Linda,

 LP> old.  And I don't think Warp would change that.

I have never seen any statement that suggests "Your BIOS must be dated after
xxx to load/run OS/2", so I will repeat the above question - What date is your 
BIOS?

OS/2 1.x used to load on 286 machines manufactured in 1988, and I have loaded
Warp 3 on machines with a BIOS dated 1990, and I am not aware of any specific
BIOS date restrictions in this respect. There were (and still are) some
documented issues relating to known problems on some vendors equipment, but
these were NOT general date related installation issues............pk.
