I don't think you will be able to install os/2 directly on the
bernoullis since the install disk doesn't have the bernoulli drivers
on it. I recommend installing os/2 to an ide drive and then using the
bernoullis as extra (and backup) drives.

These settings didn't work but, guess what, the default settings of OFF, ON, ON
do! I changed them recently from the defaults on the recommendation I read

On my system, the version for the 32-bit graphics engine is 2.01.1, but my 
version for OS/2 Basic Operating System is still 2.00, though I am up to 
XR06055 for the CSD level.

I increased my default swap file size from 4MB to 8MB and the resulting

Only if you associated .inf files with the Command Reference icon.  If
you associate the files with view.exe, you get the same response for a
different reason.  View.exe requires the info file to be in the
directory view is being run from or in a directory on the BOOKSHELF
path.  When you double-click an icon, the association does not place
you in the directory containing the icon, so view fails.  If you drag
the info file onto the view.exe program icon, all works fine.

Are you sure?  I don't recall seeing any Command Reference association
to .inf files on my system.  I'll look again, though.

Ideally, I'd like program reference objects in the root of the floppy
where I keep my redbook info files.  Unfortunately, I can't store SOM
objects on floppies.  I don't want to give up over 1MB of hard drive
space for them, either.

I guess I could place A: on my bookshelf path, but I don't like the
idea of that too much.

I've seen this too on my clone (ETEQ chipset, 486/33, ISA) with both a 
Tseng and a Trident card - the Tseng was more sensitive. I first saw this
before I installed OS/2! My Tseng card is an Everex Viewpoint Premium
(I'm not sure if this effect is part of the "premium" or not!). I had
colored specks appearing on the Windows desktop. As I moved the mouse
rapidly I would get lots of specks. I assumed it was timing related, too.
Everex suggested I change the slot where the video card was plugged. The
tech support guy said it would work better nearer the power supply!?!

Well, I moved it to the 16-bit slot nearest the power supply - it had
been in the most distant slot at the end of the bus - and from then on 
the specks went away! The bus must be very noisy or the timing must be
very ragged for this to occur! I have seen a few specks recently under
the OS/2 beta. However, it has not been bad enough to worry about, yet...

Keith Teague

By the way, I am running the I/O bus at about 11 MHz in my system, which
may be part of the problem, too.

The _easy_ way to do this is to give the Desktop focus (click LMB) and hit
Ctrl-Shift-Alt-O.  Yes, it does list the names of the OS/2 team and is 
installed (I think) if you indicate you want bitmaps on install.

Just to add further to my note.  The set I am using has got 16 MB.  
It is therefore not a memory problem.  More likely it relates to
the 32-bit graphics engine - SAS needs to come up with a new
device driver.

Another point.  Anyone knows if SAS keeps an FTP server?

That's correct, but it won't help you to change the resolution of your
display. Therefor there is a utility in the .../os2/install subdirectory
named 'dsplinst.exe'. But I never tried it, because I have a VGA-display
only.

Hi folks,

Well, I've installed the CSD and have run into some problems.  I don't
relaly use DOS all that often (thank you, OS/!) but I've noticed that
its new very unstable after I've installed the CSD.  Usually, I can run
it once if I re-boot my machine, and don't run any other OS/2 programs
at the same time, but most of the time, I get a strange type of error. 
Next time I get one, I'll write it down, but its not a TRAP, and its not
a standard OS/2-type error with the SYSXXXX numbers.  It just says "The
system detected an internal processing error.  The system is stopped" or
something to that effect.  There is no register dump like there normally
is.  

Another thing that I found VERY strange is that all the XMS and EMS
settings are now gone from the "Dos Settings" notebook. Gone, zilch. 
There is no way for me to get these.  Any suggestions, anyone (Tim?!) 

All I use DOS for is WordPerfect, how much is DeScribe?

Question, is anyone planning an EISA version of the XGA-2 card, and if so,
when?

In any case, here's an interesting question, how much difference could it
possibly make between ISA and EISA?  From what I understand, XGA-2 is co-
processed anyway, so the only time you'll see a big difference in speed is
when you move a large bitmap from memory to the screen.  All drawing should
probably be about the same speed, no?

(Let's not start another local bus vs eisa discussion, please, so if you
are about to say something about it, don't).

1) there are disk images for 3.5 and 5.25 diskettes - so you have just

2) IBM announced, the same day the files were made available, that they

The only video boards with 32-bit drivers (that I know of) are:
	CGA, EGA, VGA, 8514/a, XGA, and TSENG-4000.

The only boards with seamless Windows drivers are:
	VGA, XGA, and TSENG-4000.

All of these are included in the Service Pack.  Board manufacturers
will have their own drivers out soon, but I don't know when.  ATI
claims sometime around June/July.

Organization: Communications Research Laboratory, McMaster University
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 1992 00:17:01 GMT


Following many peoples' suggestion that a CALL=/OS2/CMD.EXE statement
be placed in CONFIG.SYS to assist in changing video drivers, I notice
that the video screen when CMD.EXE comes up is displaced by slightly
more than half the screen height, i.e.,

+----------------------+
(bottom half of screen)
:
(top half of screen)
c:\>


+----------------------+

So if I type a dir command, the output begins scrolling down from the
c:\> prompt until it hits the bottom of the screen and then continues
from the top! Even graphic programs suffer from this ``split-screen"
syndrome.

The screen stays in this mode until I type 'exit' to start the WPS,
which runs without problems. My current configuration is WPS 1024x768
16 colour using the Orchid 0.9beta drivers in proii4.zip. Of course,
I have a Orchid ProDesigner IIs 1Mbyte video card. The monitor is a
NEC 5FG and the computer is a AMI Enterprise II 486/33MHz EISA.

Has anyone else experience this or a similar problem? All replies are

	Am trying to make OS/2 work with a telecommunications program.
I tried TE/2, but it says "Com 3 not found".  I tried Commo,  a
popular DOS based telecommuncations program, but for some strange
reason, it appears to "miss" characters --words will be missing
letters and so on.  I would prefer to use soemthing like TE/2, but
can't if it doesn't work (obcviously) .
	I am running a Boca 14.4k modem.  Missing character prob
occurs in windowed mode and full screen.  No other problems of note
with my install now
