It depends on the drivers in the OS.  There are newer drivers for OS/2 
for USB but I have not used them.

It should work just fine.  However, using SMB with Windows Vista and 
above is a bitch, even with modifications made to OS/2.  I don't use SMB 
enough to justify setting up Samba under OS/2 yet.

The TCP/IP stuff should work out of the box, but not too sure about the 
USB stuff.  If you want to tinker, it should work, but buyer beware if 
you will.

Well, I discovered something: VPC2007 won't work under Windows 7, so let 
me see if I can get it running under Virtualbox which is something I was 
told to try and it did work, much to my chagrin.  I'll try to get to it 
soon while I'm in my two-week "'tween quarters" break in school.

Later,
Sean
