   That is what I believe the problem was.  I just partially built an up-to-date   
   system with state of the art architecture and it won't install on it, either.    
   I'll have to find an old 386 machine somewhere and try it on that.  When I had   
   one of those back in the early 90s, I ran OS/2 from December '92 until Win95   
   came out.

   Sadly, yes.  I don't know what IBM was thinking.

   No doubt.
