Thanks Steven
The versions you are looking at are OS/2 based.  The one's I know of are no longer running the original PC-300s.

If you have any other extra information you can share, like which card did the OS/2 PC had, to be included on the wiki, I will appreciate that.

I think mainframe control might qualify as "industrial use" - although must of us have seen this "use" in past.

Right at the new year the Youtube gods decided I needed to see
Daily driving a 1998 IBM s/390 Mainframe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn1E2On_sok

which led me to the video
IBM Mainframe in my College Apartment, with Ancient Linux and SNA Networking!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MldoPkd349M
which shows quite a bit of OS/2 as the controlling program for the mainframe

She also has this, which isn't industrial use but might be interesting.

Hello Doug

I have this page about OS/2 and the Mainframe:
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=OS/2_and_the_Mainframe

I'm linking these videos, it was kind of cool to see a more extended video about "Support Elements" (https://youtu.be/MldoPkd349M?t=421)

Regards
