OS/2 Warp did work on standard PCs.

However, OS/2 2.0 was only available to those with enough deep pockets to buy a IBM PS/2 Model 35 SLC, back on the city I was living.

There weren't any shops selling OS/2 2.0 boxes without an IBM PC to come along.

I ran OS/2 from versions 2.1 to 4, all on generic beige hardware. You are probably right about 2.0, but 2.1 certainly worked on clones.

Xe isn't right about 2.0, or even 1.1 or 1.0. None of them required PS/2 hardware. That is, as has been said elsewhere on this very page, a myth.
