I also hear on Microsoft's Compuserv NT forum, that they are supplying NO
PCMCIA drivers with NT. They are relying on PCMCIA manufacturers to supply
them. I assume this is true for Win95/Chicago too, although any that
manufacturers provide which use the Win32 API should work with both Chicago
and NT.

Long live OS/2!

Just looking over the October NT 3.5 Hardware Compatibility List
(ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-docs/hcl/HCL35/*), and found to
my dismay that the entire Thinkpad series, right up to the 755C, is only
supported at the all-but-useless (to me) 640x480x16 resolution.

And here I had been hoping that the new NT would finally get me out of
DOS/Win3.1 hell.  Team OS/2 appears to have another member on the way!

Best,
