Bob, Thank you for the info. I've been agonizing over whether it's worthwhile switching. As it is I would only have Windows apps to run, so I wasn't really sure if it was worth the trouble. OS/2 didn't seem to run any differently on the BB than did Windows, they are both slow. OS/2 also seems to need a lot more ram and the BB only has 8 meg. However, at present the main problem I was trying, unsuccessfully, to deal with was how to get the Amiga mouse to work in OS/2. The AMOUSE.COM program won't run in OS/2, so I can't get access to the Amiga mouse. I had to put in a serial card and use a serial mouse I had lying around. Although that's not a major problem, you caannot get two serial ports on the I/O card because of interrupt conflicts with the BB. Thus, if I use the serial port for the mouse, there isn't one for a modem. If you know how to get the Amiga mouse to work, I'd sure like to learn the secret.
