   I disagree.  They have fooled around with eCS so much that it breaks more   
   than it works on modern equipment for me.  I have used OS/2 Warp 4.52 quite   
   nicely over the past 20 years without problems.  The drivers for modern   
   equipment are out there, you just have to know where to look.  eCS is   
   terrible when trying to run a BBS under it from my experimentation.

   I'd recommend using JFS for any drive larger than 64GB...which is HPFS'   
   limit.
