Subject: HP DeskJet driver - Landscape graphics?
Date: 8 Sep 92 21:29:58 GMT
Organization: Bloomsbury Computing Consortium

I've just installed OS/2 2.0 and want to use it with a HP DeskJet 500 printer.
(I've read the previous postings about HP / IBM disputes over dirver etc)
The only driver for the DeskJet which comes with OS/2 is the EPSON which is
installed as "HP DeskJet in Epson EPL 6000 mode", this seems to work OK and
prints text and graphics in portrait and text in landscape, BUT I can't get
it to print graphics in landscape. The DeskJet manual talks about being unable
to print graphics in landscape - is this really true? Could this be overcome
with a proper driver? What is the Epson EPL 6000? ( a PCL III printer?)

I have a a 386 40mghrtz machine with four meg of ram
and os/2 run's really slow, I suspect this is because
of the ram disk since I don't have enough memory and 
the hard drive run's virtually non stop. If I add 4 256k

CSD stands for Corrective Service Diskettes.  In general, a CSD
contains IBM improvements and enhancements to an existing IBM
product.  When the CSD is applied, the result is the equivalent
to a Refresh Level (after the OS/2 2.0 CSD arrives, new OS/2 2.0
packages will be released with this new Refresh Level automatically;
no CSD is needed for these new packages).  Currently, IBM has made
patches available until the OS/2 2.0 CSD arrives.

To be more specific, IBM announced that the CSD for OS/2 2.0
will arrive this fall.  My calendar says that fall starts
on September 22, and ends on December 20.  In addition to
containing patches for OS/2 2.0, this CSD should also have
a 32-bit graphics engine, 32-bit device drivers, support for
Windows 3.1 apps, and more SVGA (800x600) and XVGA (1024x768)
driver support (which may be related to the 32-bit device
driver support), and maybe some other stuff.

I have not heard IBM announcing the cost of the CSD, but
rumors say that it will either be free (if you download)
or be available for just the media charges (if you go to
an IBM dealer and request the CSD on diskettes).

The system sends the desktop directory's path as a parameter to programs 
started from the desktop pop-up menu.  Placing a % sign as the first 
parameter in the program object's settings seems to block the unwanted 
path information from being passed to the executable program.

But Martin, this is what IBM would have had you do for the last five years 
until OS/2 2.0 came out...

Besides, NT will have 3.1 app support.  It might not be for all 3.1 apps 
but they are promising the majority.  Time (and BETAs) will tell...

Here's an update.  Someone suggested that the Future Domain 8-bit cards don't
allow interrupts and this could be the reason why this was happening.  I would
have happily gone out and bought a new card because of this, except for one
thing.  Under Windows 3.1, I can access the Rodime, use the mouse, AND use
my modem at the same time without any noticeable penalty in performance and
definitely no mouse jerkiness.  So it couldn't be the interrupt thing...could
it?

Any help or advice is appreciated.  BTW- in case it makes a difference, I am
using the FD8XX.ADD driver that shipped with OS/2 for the FD SCSI.

Thanks

As soon as the WPS starts, it starts up a second process which monitors the
first (or it could be the other way around) and if it detects it dying then
it simply reruns it. This is why the WPS will simply reappear when you kill
it.

I tried installing the new et4000 drivers to support my Diamond Speedstar 24
For the LIBPATH i used A:\ as the first entry and renamed the desired driver
7686.dll to display.dll, this way if i failed i could just boot normal.  anyway
I couldn't get the 6006.dll driver to work but... i did have 1024x768x16 and 
boy was it sweet!!!  There is no comparison to "standard mode" some people 
might not like the icons and such, but it was just sooooo crisp!  enough
gloating already.

I had to kludge it to get it to work and the second time it didn't workat all.
The first time the monitor's sync was out so i was able to get to DOS full
screen and use the Diamond utility VMODE to set the monitor freq. and after 
svga on i was set when i switched back to WPS.


Question: Why wasn't this info saved? and why didn't it come up the second 
(and third and forth and ......) time?  Is there a way to run vmode (dos full
screen) before wps comes on?  I am using one hpfs partition. (no fat here ;)

The question:  Why can't I access some of my video modes when OS/2

get screwed when I switch to 640x480x256 and many other modes.)
Is there any way to get past this problem?

Also, the Genoa uses it's own BIOS called GVGA.

-Interresting it is! I might have a contribution here. I upgraded from 4 to 
20 Megs a while ago, and after beeing disappointed over still getting low 
memory warnings (I have patched the kernel), I -beeing me- started 
experimenting. I got hold of mem_.exe (was it?) from Hobbes. It contained a 
program reporting available. I dont think it gives the correct "byte sum" 
available, but it does seem fairly consistent in its estimates. Loading 
applications, I could see memory decreasing down to a certain point, then 
stabelize while the swapper.dat grew....

OK, 'nuff of that. Based on this, I took away 4 Meg (I have 4x1M + 4x4M) and 
started up, - NO CHANGE in memory avaiable. (We knew that didn't we...)

I put back the Megs again, booted and set up a Vdisk of 4M in config.sys.
Booted up, - 4Megs less free space than with 16M without any Vdisk. Now 
that should suggest that a Vdisk is placed within the normal boundries of 
memory that Os/2 itself is caught in. I picked out the 4 Megs, stuffed 
them in a box, and put them away. OS/2 can't use them. (Not yet)   

Setting NOSWAP in config.sys is slightly better than useless, even with 
16Meg. It stops me at about 2 x DOS-box + 2 x winos2 (Don't ask me what I 
use these sessions for... I don't). It seems like OS/2 just likes to know 
it's there...

  BUT.... guess what happened when I set the swappath to the VDISK??

No warranty  - just try it. I didn't change that setting back, though.

I'm locked into a Netware 2.0a SFT network for the time being, so I can
can't use DOS higher that 3.3.  Are you saying that I should be able to
log on to this network in a DOS box, using a 3.3. boot image?  That
would mean that I could run an application off of the netware server,
but could I run more than one application off the server, i.e. two
simultaneous logins from the same machine?  (Greedy aren't I).

Please explain thisstatement further. 

OS2 and Windows were totally seprate product lines 
that you bought software for one or the other. Any software that worked on 
OS2 1.0 would still run under 1.x This is plainly not the case with Windows
as some apps under 1.x wouldn't run under 2.x .....

They ARE NOT PROMISING TO SUPPORT THE MAJORITY.  I will assume that you are
unaware of the announcement made by Microsoft that they will aim to     
provide 100% upport for the TOP 100 SELLING Windows applications and the 
100 TOP Selling DOS applications.

Will NT support enhanced mode apps ??? Will it support ALL 3.0 2.0 apps NO.

In the near future OS2 will and very neatly by providing a 3.0 kernel and a 
3.1 Kernel. 

If you have honestly used the NT pre-beta and seen the quality of the 3.1
and 16 bit dos support you would not trumpet this suport so loudly as it 
is clearly inferior to that provided by OS2.

If your motherboard will recognize it, it should be very helpful. Consider the
following hypothetical but probably reasonable memory allocation:

	3 MB needed to just load things that have to be in memory.
	1 MB available for transient/swappable data.

In other words, adding 1 MB might double your transient/swappable data area.

I stress that the above analysis uses hypothetical numbers -- but there is
some hard-core stuff that MUST be in memory, so that the conclusion that
increasing RAM by 25% will increase AVAILABLE RAM [and performance] by more
than 25% is sound.

Going on net rumors, I believe the probability is very high.
Besides, IBM has its own ftp site.  I don't think that IBM
would have its own ftp site, but not include something as
important as the CSD.  However, please note that I'm not a
spokesmodel for IBM.

[ BTW, for those that don't know by now, IBM's ftp site is

Ctr-ESC, bring up pop-up menu for dos-app, and choose 'close.' Same dialog,

Subject: Experiences with the NCR video chipset?

The Occidental Systems rep I talked to told me that the onboard local bus
video on their new machines is based on the NCR video chipset because it's
the most "compatible" or something like that.  I've never heard of it; does
anyone have video cards that use it, and if so, how do you like it?  Does it
work ok under OS/2; the salesman said it would.

Thanks in advance,
