Hardware or OS/2 setup, nothing.
However, I do think this machine is possessed.
I spent a couple days trying to get W98SE to recognize the CD and ZIP,
it used to. I swapped several HDD and images of HDD. I would boot
other OSs just to see if they would. On one boot of OS/2 the activity
monitor pegged as soon as the WarpCenter opened. I killed PMSHELL, a
new desktop was created, I started ToolBar, everything OK. Start
WarpCenter, it takes all CPU.

W98SE seems to work.
Sys Commander menu always lists OS/2. Sometimes it only lists OS/2
after I select DOS and CAD. VCOM says some machines do that. This one
does it sometimes.
