Don't forget that OS/2 runs applications differently, making Windows a bit faster, but OS/2 is 32 bit and runs applications in a different section from the kernel. But you can privately email me for the finer print. Now >I'm curious about support for the 560, since 4.0 has come out. Will >the drivers work under the previous version of OS/2?

Just be sure to get Fixpack 32 or above for Y2K compliance. 4.0 needs more RAM, but is a pleasure to use, but unless you need the latest Java, voice dication, etc, 3.0 will work well, and works fine on 8MB of RAM, but 12-16 is recommended.
