Hi all,

I have been wondering why IBM has not decided to put out drivers for non SCSI
CD_ROM setups yet. It seems that they decided that it was not worth it to 
support "lesser" (i.e. cheaper) CD ROM drives. Is there a reson for this?

Just curious.

I had no problems getting it to work, however the program ONLY sees
the board if it's on IRQ 7 (seems to be hardwired into the program).
Since I don't have LPT1: on my machine (thanks to to wonders of 
ethernet), there was no problem with putting my sound card on IRQ 7.
Most people have LPT1: on IRQ 7, so this demo probably won't have
sound under OS/2.

Would you give me your CI$ access number & password or the same to the OS/2
BBS? Those are the *ONLY* ways you can report problems. I'm a poor college
student and don't have the money to drain into either service. IBM fouled up
on this one- I've got bugs that I want to report but can't, since I don't have
access to the appropriate forums.

Anyway, FWIW, anyone out there got RoboComm 4.2b working reliably? I keep on
getting error messages saying it can't open a certain file, not enough
file handles (I've give in 48, and it only had 21 under 2.0 GA). If I abort it
then I get a screenful of error messages from OS/2 DOS about some procedure
( __MFILE(0) or something like that, can't find the appropriate scrap of paper
right now). It got better by putting it in a window, but at one point it was
locking the system.

FWIW, I'm using 4DOS 4.01b as my command-processor.

well, ifinally got os2 to recognize my cdrom drive -- the install
scripts on the cd-rom for making install disks under dos doesn't work
properly.   i looked at the install.bat file in the root directory and
ran the commands by hand -- it was installing the  ibm scsi driver and
not the adaptec.  when i manually had it install the adaptec it worked
ok building the install disks.  

so then i installed from the two new floppies, and it read just fine
from the hard drive up until the equivalent of disk 5.  then it said to
reboot so it could boot off the hard drive.  unfortunately, it never
made it through the reboot --- i got a trap 4 and a hard crash of the
system.  is this due to the problems mentioned in the docs about the
different config.sys files with duplicate basedev statements?  i want to
re-install from the cd-rom (i re-installed the whole thing from
floppies, but don't want to have to do it again)

if i break out of the install at the reboot and edit the config.sys
file, will that enable me to complete the install from the cd-rom?

help, please!!!!

thanks, 

andy

Has anyone noticed this problem? I'm wondering if it's my ATI Ultra + 8514/a
drivers from IBM doing it.

PROBLEM: You are running a cmd.exe or 4os2.exe session inside of a window. It
is located in the middle of your desktop. You execute a DOS app from said
commandline, your 4os2.exe window disappears, and the VDM session window
opens (in an unpredictable location at that). You get done with the dos
app and exit, and your original 4os2.exe window is now repositioned at the
upper left hand corner of the desktop (started in the middle before the DOS
app). What gives with this? It looks kludgy enough to have a window disappear
and another for the DOS session appear, but when the original moves....!?
I'm not flaming IBM or OS/2. I just want an answer on *why* this happens, and
if anyone knows if it will be fixed in the Service Pack, Beta, or CSD, (insert
you favorite name for the 'enhanced product' here), etc.???k

If you're lauching MS Word from a seamless WINOS2 session (I think that's what
you mean by "windowed"), and if you aren't running any other Win apps
(including a WINOS/2 full screen session), the long launch time is caused by
the fact that OS/2 has to load the WINOS/2 code before it starts Word.  In
effect, it's as if you started Windows from a DOS prompt, and then ran word. 
You're comparing that to lauching Word in real Windows, where you already have
the Windows code loaded, and only have to load MS Word.

To speed the loading of seamless WinOS/2 apps, put a small Win app (like
the Windows clock) in your Startup folder.  The WinOS/2 code will then be 
loaded at boot time, and when you lauch Word, it should only take a few 
seconds to load, since the WinOS/2 code is already in memory, and all OS/2
has to do is load Word.  Make sure that you don't have the "Separate session"
box checked on the Session page of the MS Word Settings notebook, since that
tells OS/2 to load another copy of the WinOS/2 code, even if you already have
it loaded in another session.

Golden CommPass.  If you can get ahold of the OS/2 Coupon Book (or
mention it when ordering), Golden CommPass sells for $79.  Contact
Creative Systems Programming Corporation, tel. 609-234-1500.

Golden CommPass runs under OS/2 Presentation Manager.  It is closely
based on TAPCIS (uses the same configuration files), so you can
migrate quite easily.  It is completely multithreaded -- read messages
while retrieving files, send replies and have them forwarded while
still online, etc.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
 
 --------------------------------------------------------
 *** Important notice for EVERYONE ***
  
  Do not mix beta WinOS2 3.1 with GA code and/or the service pack.  The
  beta is designed to be a standalone package, and as such, it is the only
  supported configuration for submitting bug report.  IBM is not
  responsible for any data loss in case of system crash due the mixing of
  beta and GA code.  Also, there is no plan for any update for the beta
  package.
   
   The service pack is designed to be installed on top of an OS/2 2.0 GA
   system, not 2.00.1 or any beta version of OS/2.  Having interim fixes on
   an OS/2 2.0 system is ok for the service pack.
   ------------------------------------------------------------
    
    This should answer most peoples question about what to do with the beta.

My OS/2 setup is working great now.  I was able to use my third floppy drive
under it (and can't under DOS :-> ) and everything works.  I am running the
beta.  I am having one problem though, I can't say for sure when it started
(although I'd venture to guess that it started with the installation of the
beta with the 32bit GRE and Win3.1).  The problem is that my system crashes
with some sort of miscellaneous crash anytime I try to access a floppy drive.
Sometimes Trap 0002 (yes yes, I know, that's a memory problem), sometimes
Trap 0008, sometimes 000d.  This only happens after some sort of prolonged
floppy access...reading a dir or copying a file or two can usually be
completed without problems.  I have yet to complete a format operation.  This
NEVER used to happen before the beta (of course, I rarely use floppies).  I
am reluctant to accept the possibility that I have memory errors because
EVERYTHING is working perfectly in OS/2.  I never crash unless I try to
use the floppy drives...and even then, I have a 50/50 chance of surviving
the access.  I tried reducing the speed of my memory access through my
Ami EISA bios from 'Slower' to 'Slowest', but this did not correct the
problem.  (I have a 486/50...you must use 'Slower' or 'Slowest' or you can't
boot).  

Any suggestions?  This is really frustrating...

Whould some kind soul please tell me how to figure out what is
going on???

I have an Intel 403E (486-33 EISA, 8Mb, 120Mb IDE) system.  I started running
the system with the latest kernal patch and if I ran too much stuff
( WINOS2, 123W, Freelance, etc) I would get 'out of memory' errors.
I replaced the kernal with the first kernal patch ( PJ03686 ??) and I also
downloaded memstat and dinfo from hobbes.  The swapfile seems to grow and
shrink, but never back to the 2Mb that it started at.  Also, memstat
only reports 512K free memory right after booting ( just WPS and memstat
running).  If I bring up WINOS2, the swapfile grows about 2MB, which seems
like the right amount if I was really out of RAM.  Did I do something
stupid, or should I just wait the the CSD/Service pack?

Thanks, Chris

I just received my PDK this morning. With this and the NT SDK on the way,
I've decided to stop borrowing a friends CD-ROM drive and buy one of my 
own. I'm considering the Media-Vision Multimedia Kit, consisting of the
PAS-16 and NEC CDR-84. Anyone have suggestions and/or caveats? Does anyone
know about the cdrom_g.sys driver found on Compuserve thats supposed to
support all CD-ROM drives, before I spend money to download it? 
Thanks,

      I'm considering buying another hard drive to satiate software's space 
apetite and remember reading that Os/2 didn't pacticularily like second drives
, has there been any problems with using Os/2 on a system with two drives.  
Also if two drives works fine, is it possible to format the second one totally
as HPFS while Os/2 continues to reside on my FAT drive 1(unfortunately still
gotta use dos occaisonally).  Illumination would be appreciated as always!
