I found a couple of 2MB PS/2 SIMMs that I had stashed
away and
put them in my PS/2 Model 70, so I now have 8MB of RAM. I haven't
cracked the password on the Xenix386 installation, but thought from
the discussion that OS/2 would be a better operating system to play
with anyway. I have OS/2 2.1. Would that be a good choice? If so,
is there a way to make floppies from the installation CD? I haven't
messed with OS/2 for a long time.

Yup you can make floppies from the install CD and os2 2.1.x was the
standard at IBM on their Model 70 and 80 boxes when I worked there.
They were going to Warp which really shines with more than 16mb of
memory if you're using networking.
At 12 my 486/66 was sluggish.
