It would be a good thing for me and/or Fabrice to have those floppy
images. I'd like to know if the problem can be reproduced with my
current floppy emulation, to see if it could come from there.
And Fabrice will know better how to fix the crash if it persists...
You can send them to me by mail.

I just figure out this morning that OS/2 3 seems to crash because of a
BIOS bug: there is a furtive message complaining about sthing related
to INT13...
I'll try to known more soon...
