I know that IBM wants *real* beta testers who will wring out the code
and make careful, extensive bug reports.

But at the same time, couldn't the beta code be made available on
software.watson.ibm.com as a "use at your own risk" category?  I'd be
willing to put up with some mild, cosmetic bugs/limitations to get the
seamless Windows apps at better than 640x480...

Windows icons can only be used in OS/2 if they're bound to a Windows
application.  But you can convert the icon to an OS/2 icon.  Download
and use the cvtico.exe program (get it from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu).  This
will convert the icon to OS/2 1.2 format.  Note that it may need
editing.  It sometimes gets the colors wrong (the "hollow" color
usually becomes "inverse" for some reason, flood fill with "hollow"
usually cures this.)

No, this is not the same thing as we are experiencing.  For one thing, it
is intermittent and apparently random (though, for me, firing up WordPerfect
seems to greatly raise the probability of it happening).  For another, my

They won't require it, but some apps (like drawing tools) will look
much better in color.  IBM's standard desktop schemes (and icons) are
all in colors that will be clearly visible on Monochrome systems.

Personally, I'd just play with some schemes to get a monochrome
desktop.  You can change enough schemes that only icons will be in
color.  Of course, this won't prevent an application from forcing
color on the screen.

BTW:Why do you want mono?  If the Samsung monitor isn't a high
    enough resolution, you can get good color displays to replace it
    with.  If you're just a chromaphobe, then you won't lose that much
    with a paper-white VGA monitor.

There is no reason in principle why this would not work.  However,
don't worry about wasting your money -- buy OS/2 2.0 from IBM by
calling 800-3-IBM-OS2 (in the U.S.)  IBM is offering a 30 day no

for a refund.  Sound fair?

Yet another example of IBM's support. This is *not* uncommon for the mainframe

it's amazing how many people don't read the rest of the thread in

IBM will give the CSD away free via electronic means.  Meaning you can
download it (for your local phone/network charges, if any), or you can
brind blank disks to a dealer and have him/her make a copy for you.
If you want IBM to mail you disks, you'll pay a small fee for media
and shipping.

My config.sys sets swapper.dat to 2 Meg. This doesn't grow,
but I do get "Out
of Memory" Errors when I try to open, say, a third Win-OS2
app seamlessly 
(same session). I don't get this with the old level kernel,
which does grow.
IBM's UK Help line have acknowledged this as a bug to me, and
say a fix
may not appear before the new version of OS/2 arrives.
However I'll keep 
watching software.watson.ibm.com just in case.

By the way I'm running OS/2 on a PS/2 56SLC (with 12 Meg RAM)
- so I don't
think I've got incompatibility problems :-)

Yeah, my mistake!  That's what I was thinking.  I used VMDISK B: c:image.fil
and used STARTD to run the image.fil, so I assumed that you should be able
to boot from drive B.  You know what's weird?  I just tried it right now,
and it accesses drive B but goes to drive A (like it does when you run some

I used to get that also, the only solution is to turn the ROM_EMULATION to

I'm about to buy Insite's floptical drive, that uses those 21 MB
flopticals and is capable of reading/writing 720k/1,44M diskettes.
Now I'm wondering if OS/2 has any inside support for these drives or
should I install a software driver for it.  I haven't bought OS/2 yet,
but I shall in a near future (someone else waiting for that 32-bit
Graphics Engine? ;)).  DOS supports those drivers without any sw
drivers, so I thought OS/2 wouldn't be any worse.  If that matters,
that drive would be using Future Domain TMC-850FMLK SCSI controller.

I hope I'm not wrong! ;-)

Yes. I called Bustek around the beginning of August, at which time they
had beta disk device drivers available on their BBS. I understand that
these have now graduated to non-beta.

BUT ... the tech support person I spoke with said that there was no ASPI
driver and no plans to produce one (!). Since I need the ASPI driver for
a tape drive, I settled on Adaptec. Bustek said that their host adapters
have worked with Adaptec drivers in the past, but they (obviously)
weren't able to guarantee that this would continue to be the case.
