I've got 'em.  3.5" only, though, so if you need 5.25" versions, 
you're on your own.  I also have some CSD updates for it.  Email me 
with an email that will accept large attachments and I'll get what 
you need to you.

If you've got MFM, IDE or ESDI, it's all the same to OS/2 (the basic 
port-level interface is close enough to be inter-operable for OS/2). 
You can even use SCSI, as long as there's an INT 13 BIOS extension 
installed to access it, but you have to add the driver for the SCSI 
controller to your boot diskettes (I've got a 386 running OS/2 2.1 
with a DTC 3280 SCSI board).

I also have the developer's kit for OS/2 2.x, which, with the CSDs 
comes to a lot of diskettes, not to mention the pile of 
documentation.  Also MASM and MSC for OS/2.

What I don't have is the network version of OS/2 2.x.  Does anyone 
have that one?
