I don't know about OS/2, I only used it once for about fifteen minutes,  thought it was a pretty cool UI for the time.

I personally thank the heavens that most people think that those ServerRAID cards only work in Netfinity servers, when in fact they work in any machine that can take a full length PCI card.  Three UW-SCSI channels powered by a PowerPC 603 processor with it's own RAM and RAID processor . . . off e-bay for $50.  I clock it at 2.3 times faster than my BT-950 UW controller on the same set of drives.  Sssssswwwweeeeeeet!
