Summary: Need EMM driver for 286 G2 Chipset

Does anyone know of an EMS memory manager for the 286 G2 chipsets?

I have a 286 with the G2 onboard (rev. 4) and the EMS driver that came 
with the board DOESN'T WORK!!! I can get it to work some of the time, 
but it hangs horribly under most things.

Thanks for the help.

That's quite funny, since PC mag did a review on how the 040-25 matches
up to a DX2 486-50, the 486 blew the doors off the 040.  And look at your
specs bud!  According to BYTE mag, the 040-25 runs with 2.4 MFLOPS, and then
the 486-33 does 2.6 MFLOPS w/o a weitek 4167.  Then look at your MIPS, etc...

This is actually quite close.  I can't speak to floating point
performance, but a 486-50DX EISA machine with a 256k memory cache will
usually hit right around 21 MIPS.  This might actually outperform a
SPARC 2, which has a similar MIPS rating but is a RISC processor
(hence MIPS don't quite compare to MIPS on a CISC processor like the
i486).  The only place I would expect a SPARCStation 2 to radically
outperform it is for graphics.

[By the way, a SPARCStation 2 is a Sun 4 (as is a SPARCStation 1+,
which is what the IPC is).  That's why I changed the subject.]

I thought their tests were somewhat biased beforehand, since they
weren't measuring anything like the same thing on each machine.  It
amounted to "how fast can I run PC-type applications on this machine".

You indeed have unmovable lost files on your hard disk.  Don't worry,
it's quite easy to recover this space.  Just use the following:

   chkdsk /f

This should convert those lost files into readable (deletable) files.

This has happened to a machine I was installing Windows 3.0 on.  Somehow
the Windows directory became a Disk Drive with 30 Terabytes of memory!!!
All of the files inside it became lost sectors.  The chkdsk fixed it,
but I would still like to find that extra disk space!  :-)

Sounds like the battery that maintains CMOS memory has gone dead. Check with

Hi,

I'm looking for some net.wisdom on a electronic mail package for the PC. 
I haven't dealt with any of the major players and would like some
feedback.

Requirements (Server):

o Run on a 486-based machine, DOS, WIndows, whatever--not really important
o Must support Ethernet connect
o Must support SMTP gateway (both incoming and outgoing)

(Client):

o Run under Windows 3.x
o Support Ethernet connection
o Support mailing (via server) to outside e-mail systems

I'd really like a client/server approach to minimize the amount of user
support required.  Any and all answers will be appreciated.

I'll summarize.

The above contains a grain of truth. A lot of vendors decided that Windows is
wonderful and they have written drivers for it. OS/2 v2 was not expected to
sell many copies. Over 1.2 million in 12 weeks isn't bad, so now there is a
bit of a scramble on by the more astute of the johnny-come-latelys to get
drivers ready. 
 
Take video cards. Cards supporting 8514/a mode are fine. Trident cards are
just fine,  too. Trident had drivers ready for OS/2 v2 months be fore it came
out. I use 800x600x256 because the 1024x768x256 drivers make the icons too
small on my 14" monitor. 
 
The soundblaster seems to work ok.......
 
Two areas that DO need work - and are getting it: Tape backup units - the main
companies didn't write drivers for OS/2. Now they are going to, but for next
year. Smaller companies - seeing a big opening left by the majors - are
burning the midnight oil preparing compatible drivers for many products. 
 
I used Windows for a year. I is better than DOS (doesn't take much). But OS/2
makes Windows look a bit "shallow". 
 
As for the OS/2 interface being "totally inconsistent and making no
sense"........well, you lost me. It is the best interface the x86 world has
seen to date. It is flexible, configurable - yet simple: see the little
pictures? Just click on them and the go! I don't know what is inconsistent
about that!

But at least in regard to the one comparison I was able to replicate  
myself (scrolling WP on 486 vs NeXT) quite unreliable.  The 486/50  
was in fact quite fast at scrolling WordPerfect, but no more so than  
the NeXT (non-turbo).  Bearing in mind that the 486 was scrolling WP  
(DOS version) in text mode (ie without showing actual text formatting  
other than by color changes, and without displaying embedded  
graphics) while the NeXT was scrolling fully-formatted text (font +  
size changes) _and_ the embedded graphics, I was more impressed with  
the NeXT.  
Two caveats: 1. in both cases the initial run through the document  
was in fact faster on the 486; once the entire document was in RAM,  
there was no difference in scrolling speed.  2. for a fair test, you  
need to use the scroll bar in the NeXT WP version; using the  
line-at-a-time scroll arrows is very slow, about as slow as scrolling  
by repeatedly hitting the down cursor key on the 486 rather than  
holding it down.
I couldn't judge how fair or accurate the tests of other programs and  
other platforms were, for lack of direct experience or boxes to try  
it on.

I realize that this may be bit of a stupid question, but I know this
friend has a '286 and just got 4Mb RAM installed. The BIOS (Phoenix,
circa 1986(?)) reports that 4Mb just fine. However, none of shows up
as EMS memory. I assume that this is because EMM.SYS in not in the
CONFIG.SYS. (OOPS! I forgot to say that he's using DOS 3.3!!!!) 

1) Is the assumption that EMM.SYS sets up and manages EMS correct?
2) What are the parameters for EMM in CONFIG.SYS? He got the computer
   from somebody who either didn't have or lost the manual. I've got a
   new machine with DOS 5.0.

I moved up to DR-DOS 6.0 from MS-DOS 3.2 and mis-spoke.  Not
having used MS-DOS 5.0 (nor 4DOS) I'm not in a position to
comment on which DOS is "better".  But then basing my short
comment on MS 3.2 while the thread dealt with MS 5.0 wasn't very
slic either.

But DR-DOS and Desqview for multi-tasking is very stable.  And my
copy of OS/2 2.0 is still on the shelf.  I have Norton U and will
look into NDOS.

It had better be a good price as the NEC 2A is NOT a real multisync
monitor. It is actually a dualsync monitor. It also does not support
the new 60HZ vertical refresh rate for the 800x600 resolution.
As for the vertical border, there are controls to adjust the horizontal
and vertical size and position. They should be in the front at the bottom.

NS486 will probably be out by year-end (version 3 of the OS is due  
out in Sept, and the 486 version should follow that).
I don't remember prices and minimum system requirements (except that  
a CD-ROM drive is _not_ required, although you may need one to  
install the system software or upgrades).  Post to comp.sys.next.misc

I don't know much about 4Dos, but does it have Superstore-like util
to make my 85meg HD 170Meg? I thought Superstore was the only big diff
b/w MS-DOS 5.0 and DR-DOS 6.

I have been using agenda for about three years now.  I also got some other
folks in the office interested in it.  It's great for keeping track 
of all the work you've done, covering your butt, and when it come times
to review your folks..agenda is great for retrieving all the related 
material..good and bad.  I use agenda in its most basic form..tho others
in my company have created some pretty specialized applications out 
of agenda.  There's a lot to the product..it has depth.  If you can
get it for a song..I'd recommend it quickly.
