I doubt it will make a great deal of difference since OS/2 only 
uses the BIOS for the initial system startup.  It switches to 
protected mode within a few seconds and the BIOS drops out of the
picture completely at that point.

In any case, how old is your BIOS?  This machine has an AMI BIOS 
dated 11/11/92 and it works just fine with Warp.  Nor can I find 
any mention in my Warp documentation of any restrictions due to 
BIOS date.
