I've been using Windows 95 on my old PC for years, but I've been looking into setting it up for dual-booting between Win95 and OS/2 Warp 4, but want to know some things first:
- Is OS/2 as easy to setup new devices as Windows 95 (Plug-N-Play)?
- When setting up for dual-booting, do I have to install Windows 95 or OS/2 first?
- Can OS/2 read/write to FAT32 hard drives?

OS/2W4 on old computers like that one you seem to have should be no problem. Depending on harddrive size you may need to download updated startdisks from Warpdoctor. New devices? Well its an old OS so you may have to seek for drivers at hobbes.nmsu.edu .
I have had no problems setting up OS2 first or last (usingw98)but other may think other ways.
OS2 can read and write on FAT32 if you install support for it. You find drivers easily at ecomstation.org>File downloads>File system drivers.
