Generally, no.  In DOS sessions you might get a marginal performance
boost with a select class of applications (and you can control DOS
sessions individually -- there's a control to shadow ROM if your
computer doesn't do it).

It isn't terribly surprising that IBM machines work quite well with
OS/2 2.0.  The Model 56, for example, is a very nice OS/2 platform
(with busmastering SCSI-2, busmastering coprocessed XGA-2 video, and
486SLC processor).

However, there's a very long list of PCs which work quite well with
OS/2.  Look for the "PCM" list, available via anonymous ftp from
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (check /pub/os2/00Index file for location).

I am having a problem displaying 256 color images on an ATI GRAPHICS ULTRA.
It appears as if the system isn't releasing pallette control to the

I am running GA+SP +1024x768x256 8514 drivers.


Any help would be appreciated.

The reason your comm programs are bringing your very capable system to
its' knees is because they are self-centered DOS apps; they were never written
to co-operate in a "Multi-tasking" environment so they are sitting there
doing things like polling the keyboard for a key press hogging all the CPU
time they can get their greedy little instruction set on.

Try running the OS/2 applet PULSE. Then start up your DOS comm program and
watch the CPU usage instantly red-line.

If you have a comm program that was written to be multi-tasking aware,
(examples: DESQview, Double Dos, Omnivew etc...) then there is a
shareware program called TAME (TAME261.ZIP) that will allow you to
access those multi-tasking hooks within an OS/2 2.0 DOS Box and allow the
program to break out of those polling loops and return control to the
CPU for other things your trying to run.

TAME is also effective for curing CPU hogs that are not multi-tasking
aware - but in this case TAME steals time from the guilty program, it
doesn't wait for the program to voluntarily return control.  This works
fine for many DOS programs but with comm programs it usually wreaks havoc with
the com port.

If your comm programs aren't multi-tasking aware and you're going to be
doing a lot of multi-tasking while using a comm program, then why not
invest in an OS/2 comm program that can take advantage of your multi-tasking
environment!  I belive there's an affordable shareware comm program called
Telix (TE/2) written for OS/2 1.3 that will work quite nicely for you in an
OS/2 Window... download it and give it a try.  I'm not familiar with what's
available in the way of OS/2 2.0 comm programs.  Anyone else out there
have some suggestions???

Why doesn't OS/2 (and DOS for that matter) use default configuration
settings when the config.sys file is missing or is corrupted? It is
pretty crude and unfriendly to have the system freeze as is currently the case.
Hell, one pretty well has to reinstall DOS when a primary DOS partition screws
up due to a buggy config file, which is unforgivable.

I have no problem with my Gateway 386/33c & CrystalScan 1024 NI that
I bought about this time last year.   

This has been addressed by numerous others here before, so thanks goes
to them.  If I remember correctly, do:
  o install via selective install
  o go to full screen dos
  o svga off
  o vmode monitor    (vmode.exe must be on dos path etc.  it came with system)
  o vmode 38 (for 1024x768) -or- vmode 30 (for 800x600) -or- 
             ... leave this line out for 640x480x256)
  o svga on
  o exit full screen dos, shutdown, reboot

I also have in my (dos autoexec.bat) vmode monitor, I'm not sure if 
this is *required* but it does work for me.

I have 2 OS/2 partitions, one for testing new s/w (ie. beta, ga + sp
for the first time etc.) for for real.  Both currently have ga + sp.
One uses 640x480x256 and the other uses 800x600.  I know the above
works for these resolutions.

Note that the IBM directions talk about startup.cmd etc.  Don't 
do it.  Also, remember to use the GA disks when selective install
prompts you for them (ie. after you select your svga resolution
and feed the system the last disk(s) with the hi-res drivers.)

I hope this helps.
Good luck & Hapy Holidays

Hi Mike,

That's probably a monochrome VGA system, right?  Monochrome VGA is
still VGA and so is accepted as such by OS/2.  The term "monochrome"
is tricky.  In my experience, folks usually mean Hercules monochrome
graphics adapter or compatible.  Pathetically, this is not supported
is OS/2.  Arguably, that hardware is passe', but even if true, that's
no help to people who have that configuration.  Sometimes people mean
MDA (Monochrome Display Adapter) when they say "monochrome," but that's
text only and obviously can't support PM & WPS.

Apologies if you already know this, but this info may be helpful to
others.

Either way,this still sounds like a rumor.  If IBM could prove MS did this

Of course, all this discussion about leaving OS/2 running is academic if you 
are using a true-blue PS/2.  

We were using a 95 as a server and every few months the display adapter would
just stop working until we power-cycled it.  We complained to IBM hardware
support and were told: 'well, the PS/2 is not designed for 24-hour operation.
Buy an Industrial Computer instead'.  Our account manager was not pleased, but
the advice still stands.

I get the same stuff if I turn off buffering on the uart (which I have done
sometimes by accident). With buffering on, 57600 baud is no problem.
I'm taking wild guesses based on the above, but it looks like you have an
external modem hooked to a serial port ?
If so, you need to upgrade to a buffered serial chip or board. You *may* be
able to change just the chip.
Give us a little more detail.

                                         [sam]

Whats the number of the buffered uart ? 1640something isn't it ?
