I've here the book "OS/2 Warp Unleashed DeLuxe Edition" (3rd edition)
publisher SAMS PUBLISHING
ISBN 0-672-30545-3
I can't find any notion of a statement like "the AMI BIOS must have a date
somewhere in 1990 to support OS/2" in this book. Please tell where I can find
it in this book if it's in there.
Neither can I find such a statement in the "User's Guide to OS/2 Warp 3" or in
the "OS/2 Warp 4, Up and Running" book.
