The article ``PCMCIA: Past, Present, and Promise'' (November 1994) contains a glaring error. OS/2 2.1 does indeed support PCMCIA on third-party platforms (e.g., Toshiba laptops). IBM's OS/2 Warp includes PCMCIA Plug and Play already. Unfortunately, that fact destroys the author's thesis: that Windows 95 is the first Plug and Play OS.
