i just rebooted my system with a couple of changes to it and now have gotten
my com3 port to work, set to IRT2.

Thanks to everyone that replied telling me how AT machines redirect IRQ2 to
IRQ9 in hardware.

My COM3 is set on the hardware card as IRQ2.  Using the COMM2211 beta drivers
from IBM (I think)  I set it up like this:
device=c:\os2\comm.sys (3,3e8,9,i) (4,2e8,5,i)
or something like that.

Now when it boots up it doesn't report any problems with any of the com
ports, and I can go to the OS/2 command line and use MODE to see and
change COM1, COM3, COM4. (COM2 is used by the mouse).  

Now all I have to do is figure out a way to move the mouse to COM4. :)

I have one more question though.  It was explained to me a while back that
IRQ3 would be answered first if IRQ3 and IRQ4 both had data coming in, and
to solve a problem where moving the mouse would abort a download because
the mouse was on IRQ3, and the mode on IRQ4.  

Now, if my COM3 is on IRQ2, redirected as IRQ9, then will its interupt
be taken first because IRQ2 comes before IRQ3, or will it be treated as IRQ9,
coming after IRQ5 in the order of hierchy.

Thanks
Greg

I'm using MR/2 1.37.

How do I disable the option of displaying the news & bulletins every time I 
switch message conference?

I call some Wildcat! system and they have those "what happened on this
date in the year xxxx." And it gets pretty long. So I have to watch it
scroll by every time I change message conference.

I read the docs but couldn't find anything in the *.INI file related to it.

Or is the ability to disable this only avail. in the registered version?

No.  HPFS386 is a part of LAN Server.  (It also provides some extra
features necessary for multiuser operation -- it isn't just a 32-bit
HPFS rewrite.)

Lest anyone panic, 32-bit purely for the sake of 32-bit isn't such a
hot idea.  For one, you have to spend time debugging.  (In other
words, why tamper with code that is working so well?)  For another, it
isn't all that clear that you'd get much performance boost.  (A disk
-- any disk -- is relatively slow, in computer terms.  There's usually
very little CPU involved in disk I/O, and CPU intensive operations is
precisely where you get the biggest performance boost with 32-bit
code.)

Hmm, I had that information straight from an Adaptec Senior Engineer
(that the PROM upgrade is only for MS-DOS and would break most of the
other drivers in embedded support (OS/2, UNIX)) because they relied on
the translation being done the 'old' way.  Apparently ONE of you is
mistaken; what I need now is a good way to know which of you it is.

[I'm currently running a Maxtor P12S, which appears to format to just
UNDER 1G (1.2G unformatted capacity), so I don't think I gain anything
right now from the new PROMs.  Should I worry about getting them
anyway (AHA-1740 controller), and if I do, what will and will not
work?]

Hi gang,

I have a Sound Blaster Pro and the Creative Labs Panasonic
CD-ROM installed in my system.  I am currently using the
beta cd driver dated 10-8-92 from CL.  I have MMPM/2 loaded
as well as the SBMMPM drivers.  My problem is when I play
audio cds.  I can start the cd playing with the controls in
MMPM and music pours out of the speakers but the controls go
grey and the cd player program reports that the cd has finished
(it hasn't).  The cd continues to play as expected, however.
Has anyone seen this problem or know of a work around?  I suspect
that I have an outdated beta cd rom driver from CL.  Any help
would be welcomed!!!

Unless I'm doing it wrong, it only works for external OS/2 Dos apps, Not the msdos emulator.

     I have my mouse set up on IRQ 2 and my Scanman on IRQ 11.  I
haven't had any problems using the two devices at the same time
(although this might be expected, since I think IRQ 2 is actually
the cascade for IRQ's 9-15 or whatever the upper limit is).  I don't

Unfortunately, I don't know what either trap means.  The printed and online

In contrast, I detached about 15 DJPEG processes (to .PPM format) while doing

It might, but there's a bug with VGA-sized displays which prevents

SHIFT-drag border approach.

At this point I am planning on setting up the Boot Manager, with
primary partitions for OS/2 and DOS 5.0, and a number of logical

I have a CMS Jumbo Tape Drive.

My question:  If I boot up DOS, can I run my DOS backup software and
backup all of my FAT drives without needing special drivers.  If I do
this, will I screw up OS/2 when I switch back to it?

 Seems to be quite a heated argument going here.

 I was just glancing thru the README file which came with OS/2 on my new
computer.  And under the topics of SCSI controllers, it specifically states
that the Adaptec 1542B will not access drives over 1.0 Gigabyte in size.

 So, I'd say that there is some confusion going on here.  Perhaps IBM needs
to update their Readme file, and Adaptec needs to get this BIOS upgrade
distributed a little faster.  Or something like that.

 Now back to the flame fest in progress...

The stuff that comes with IBM's XGA-2 says the card will do 1280x1024
interlaced at a frame rate of 50 Hz and a line rate of 53.4 KHz.  I
think it's only 16 colors at that resolution (only 1 MB of VRAM), and
it doesn't look like it would drive the monitor you have, but maybe
one of the new clone XGA cards extends the specs enough for you.  XGA
sure is cheap for the performance and support you get.
