News to me. What, intel going at it again? I thought VESA was fine way back then, but intel forced PCI onto us to gain back dominance.
Probably not going to be a problem. However, if it is incompatable with Warp then it will probably be incompatable with Windows 95/98/NT etc. More than likely if a patch is needed it will be provided.

News to me also.

Reminds me of IBM's micro channel and VLB.. oh well, I guess we as consumers always want bigger, faster, better..

I forsee a patch for *NIX ported to OS/2, then eComStation supporting it natively..

PCI-X was developed jointly by IBM, HP and Compaq.
For infos about PCI-X check: http://searchenterpriseservers.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid25_gci213746,00.html

As far as I know, IBM has one Intel processor (Xeon MP) based server, xSeries 360, with PCI-X but no OS/2 support for this machine 'yet'. Even not for OS/2 Warp Server for e-business.

I can't say if this will change in the near future or if IBM will ever support OS/2 on machines PCI-X architecture...
