Hello Nick!

Yes, I created a sort of "minimal" package myself that consumed only 5.8M in
archived form (included EGA drivers, PM+WPS, MDOS, WPCONFIG.DLL and Russian
NLS driver).

The simplest way to accomplish this task is to use the BOOTOS2 utility, that
creates an image of your OS/2 installation.

OS/2 worked fine on MFM drives, however, recent fixes brought some problems.
XR_W035 and XR_M005 were OK, later ones have a broken IBM1S506.ADD.

                                               See you later.
