This is incorrect on several counts. - It wasn't from version 1.1; the original OS/2 1.0 was a 286 OS, because IBM insisted it ran on the 286, because IBM sold a lot of 286-based PS/2 computers and had promised that they would run OS/2. I have written about this recently, and you commented on the discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33019019 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33019019 That post was based on a comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33007995 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33007995 - It wasn't "forced down". It was originally a 286 OS, by design. - "Most of the PS/2 line" -- [[citation needed]]. I am not sure about "most" but certainly 286 PS/2 were popular, because they were cheaper. It wasn't about volumes; it was about an IBM promise to PS/2 buyers.
