OS/2 Compatibility Table is on the Web!
August 3, 1995
Are you thinking about buying OS/2 but you want to make certain it
is compatible with the system you have or plan to purchase? Did you
misplace the copy you downloaded from MKTTOOLS just last month?
Do you wish there was an easier and faster way to get a simple
answer on one device for your customer, friends or relatives who
may be making a decision to buy OS/2?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you will be
happy to learn that the latest PC manufacturers' hardware and device
compatibility table (PCM table) is now online on the worldwide web.
Your answer can be on your screen with three clicks of a mouse button!
Previously distributed only in its entirety, this masterfully
hyperlinked document gives you immediate assurance that a specific
manufacturer's hardware or device has been tested. The new online
compatibility table is easy to use. First select the hardware or
device category, next choose the manufacturer's name, click three
and you've got your answer! From any listing, you can return to the
main index, quickly advance to the next item or go to the top of
the page. It's easy. And it gets you the information you need quickly.
The manufacturers' systems and devices that appear in this list have
all been tested and found to be compatible with IBM's OS/2 products.
Not all products listed in this table have been tested by IBM. The
specific product listing will indicate if it has been tested by IBM,
the vendor or a third party. In addition, many of the products listed
require device drivers that may not be included with OS/2 Product.
This information is also noted.
Of course the complete document will continue to be maintained on
our gopher server, should you need a have this reference readily
available. You can also download individual zipped files of
the document in sections.
