Applicable to: World-Wide
OS/2 Considerations
o If you encounter a problem in the use of OS/2 version 4.0, apply the latest level FixPack.
o Use the boot manager when booting OS/2 Version 4.0 from a secondary drive, such as a PCMCIA Type III drive.
o CardBus PC Cards are not supported under OS/2 Version 4.0.

o When installing OS/2 Version 4.0 on a hard disk with more than 4.3GB capacity, use the latest installation diskette available in the IBM Web.
o If the COM port is configured correctly in OS/2 Version 4.0, but does not work, do the following:
