It's interesting to note  that (at least in  the Toronto area) the  Star

I would like to know what it takes to migrate from DOS/Windows to
OS/2 2.0?  The 1-800-3IBM-OS2 number works, provided you have a
credit card handy.

What I would like to know is this:  will IBM make the $49 upgrade
package available at the local computer store?  I was getting mixed
messages.  The guy at the 1-800 number said yes, but local stores
said "no" (CompUSA and Elek-Tek come to mind here).  What gives?

This is a slight change from when I called on April 3rd (del. 2-4 weeks and

The latest I heard is that the requestor for OS/2 will be available
April 30 and will cost $200.  It is a seperate package from OS/2 2.0.
What?
Is IBM kidding?  Don't they think it is going to be hard enough to get
millions of DOS users to switch os's and $50 to $200 bucks a shot?  And
then they have to pay an extra $200 to connect to there network!  Novell
is holding 70 to 80 percent of the networked market.  The requestor 
should definitely be included if IBM wants OS/2 to fly in the corporations.

The following is from the OS/2 README file (which is left in the root of
the install drive and is HIGHLY recommended reading).  I haven't actually
tried these, but from the text, it looks like the first bullet will allow
you to boot if the shell is bad and the more severe 2nd bullet allows you
to boot if CONFIG.SYS is bad.

o   If you encounter a situation in which you
    cannot restart the operating system, press and
    hold the left Ctrl, left Shift, and F1 keys.
    This disables the automatic program startup
    feature of the desktop.  Press and hold the
    keys when the white screen first appears and
    hold them down until the icons appear on the
    desktop.

o   If you start the operating system and you do
    not see some of the system icons (such as OS/2
    System or Shredder), there is a function that
    will allow you to reset the desktop to its
    default configuration.  WARNING:  USING THIS
    FUNCTION WILL REMOVE ANY DESKTOP CUSTOMIZATION
    YOU HAVE DONE SINCE YOU INSTALLED THE
    OPERATING SYSTEM.

    To perform this function, do the following:

    1.  Restart the computer.

    2.  Before the first OS/2 Logo panel appears,
        hold down Alt+F1 for 20 seconds.

    When the operating system was installed,
    certain system files (CONFIG.SYS, OS2.INI, and
    OS2SYS.INI) were placed in the \OS2\INSTALL
    subdirectory.  When you perform the recovery
    function described above, the current versions
    of those files are automatically renamed and
    are replaced by the default installation
    versions.  If you have a STARTUP.CMD file,
    that file is also renamed, causing the startup
    feature to be deactivated.

You don't tell OS/2 to use a free interrupt level, you tell the hardware.
On microchannel machines this is done by running the reference diskette
and changing the configuration.  On ISA machines it is normally done by
changing jumpers on the adapter itself.

You are wrong Mr. DOS systems Specialist ! WINDOWS 3.x in Enhanced mode 
will indeed preemptively multi-task DOS sessions. It uses co-operative 
multi-tasking for the the WinApps only. OS/2 pre-empts both. DesqView a 
co-operative system ? Gimme a break ! How the hell can it allow DOS apps that
no nothing about each other "co-operate". It HAS to pre-empt them. Time to go

I have a strange question.   I would very much like to get OS/2 for running
my DOS + Windows apps, but ...

Currently I have MS-DOS 5.0 and ESIX SVR4.0.3 installed.  For ESIX to boot,
it *must* be the 'active' partition.  I have a little boot sector program
installed that allows at power-on time to select if I boot into ESIX or DOS.

Can OS/2 coexist with ESIX in the sense that ESIX will still be the 'active'
partition?  (If you mark another partition as active and try boot into ESIX
it does nothing.  This is very typical of 386/486 UNIXs.)

Thanks for any help.

Is SVGA 800x600x16 supported in OS/2?  Windows 3.1 (uh, did I say that?)
has a universal 800x600x16 driver that works with "any" SVGA card.  I
have a Paridise compatible card and from what I've seen on this BBoard,
it looks like you can not do more than 320x200x256 (standard VGA)
without a driver from the card manufacturer.  And since Paridise thinks
OS/2 is dead, I don't see them coming out with one soon.  

If there is a universal 800x600x16 driver with OS/2, does it do seemless
Windows?

According to the GA Readme that Ian Stirling e-mailed me (which I 
then FTPed to hobbes.nmsu.edu--it's probably still in /pub/downloads.
BTW it is ~2200 lines long):

   DOS extenders that require exclusive access to the 80386 control
   registers, such as the Virtual Control Program Interface (VCPI)
   are not supported because they would violate the integrity of the
   system.  The DOS Protect-Mode Interface (DPMI 0.9), the expanded
   Memory Specification (EMS), and the Extended Memory Specification
   (XMS) are supported.
 
This seems to imply to me that OS/2 does not have DPMI 1.0, but
like Win 3.x has only 0.9

Questions:

Does OS/2 2.0 include DPMI 1.0? (BTW, if not the FAQ needs to be revised)

Regardless, what are the differences between the two specs?
