Ron, I sent my order in. For that price it's worth a try. I'm not suprised there are problems with Geoworks. I would assume that when you try to put one multi-tasking OS on top of another that there's bound to be conflicts. But if it works with windows, that's fine. I don't use Geoworks. I just hope that it makes windows work better. OS/2 windows works nicely, as does OS/2. I've installed it without a problem on the BB, but you really need the memory and horsepower of a big dos box. OS/2 uses lots of RAM, but it works fine on the BB. OS/2 just isn't really made for slow 386 systems and you lose the real value of the 32 bit operating system on the SX machine without a 32 bit system buss. Perhaps DRDOS 7 will be a good compromise.
