Hey, sorry for the second post on this subject.  I just thought of something.
Perhaps OS/2 was supposed to be PS/2 ... that would make alot more sense.

If there is a PS/2 port of NetBSD I would be intreseted to know how the
legalities were dealt with.  I always wondered if this was ever going to
be possible in a free software product.
