By the time I tried OS/2 I the only system that still had SCSSI drives was the
BBS machine.  The drive was likely bigger then 2 Mb but I was never able to get
to that point.  It simply would not read the CD.  You started the setup with a
floppy drive if I remember correctly, and then inserted the CD.
