I bought an original copy of OS/2, it came on 2mb floppies and I was wondering if my floppy drive will resd them properly?

I think in order to use those, you'd have to find an IBM PS-1 or PS-2 [built approx. 1990?] which had the optional 2.88 megabyte floppy drive. Not exactly the most common of rigs.

The actual size of a formatted 1.44mb floppy is. I believe, 2mb. I've got some 3M & Maxell ones which actually state that they are 2mb, so it shouldn't be a problem.
