I probably can't contribute to help you (the first response I've read to
your request sounds more pertinent), but I had an experience that might
help some (it might even help you).  I can't remember how the problem
started.  I had a program fail or I did something stupid and then OS/2
wouldn't boot.  At that time I had GA + SP on it.  I tried to re-install
the SP, but to no avail, it reported some pretty strange errors.  I was
getting ready to install the GA with format when I thought of something.
I ran chkdsk from the GA disks (booted install disk, ran second disk,
escaped to cmd and from third disk ran chkdsk).  It reported that there
were errors on my boot drive (drive D on my single drive, multipartitioned
ESDI disk system, it is a FAT disk).  I ran chkdsk again with the /F
parameter and it fixed several things and now I was up and running.

At the time I looked back over what I had done to get into trouble (I 
can't remember what it was).  There was nothing that happened that
should have damaged my file system on drive D.  But, of course, there
was something but the connection still does not make sense to me.

Moral: at least try chkdsk from the install disks before doing anything
drastic like reformatting.

If you don't see any notices to the contrary, yes, it should be
redistributable.

A lot of that code you mention, by the way, is indeed making it to
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  Check the file /pub/os2/00Index to see what's
already there.

ftp-os2 is definately down right now.  I ran a traceroute and as you
can see, we can get to nmsu, but ofp-os2 does not respond.  It seems

Exactly.  You received the 2.1 Beta CD.  This announcement was for the 2.1
Beta PDK CD.  There is a difference.  I am running the 2.1 Beta right now, 
but have not yet ordered the PDK CD.  Does anyone have info on what is

the meaning of the error code.  Where do i look for this?  I downloaded
this software so i don't have any books.  And I can't find any info for
an error number 20480 in the on-line help.  The other error that is
displayed at the bottom is E 128 which is a hard ware error. What am I doing
wrong?  And why is this back up so slow on a 486/33?

 Apparently this problem isn't new.  It happened to me back in
October when I order the 10/92 version...Got two..but I decided
not to bother and kept both.  hmm 3 sets you say? Hmm...I just
order the Nov PDK and the Dec Beta.. I hope I don't get 6 disc.

Not likely.  However, if you have 512K on the adapter, you can get
640x480-256 and 800x600-256 with the new OS/2 2.1 beta (or with the
leaked generic SuperVGA driver, available via anonymous ftp from
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu).  If you have 1 MB, you can also get 1024x768-256.

The way I've understood it is that the AT bus XGA-2 adapter that IBM sells

(I've been away for awhile and only scanned subjects, so pardon me if this

I've found a way to get 256 color OS/2 bitmaps from 256 color GIFs without
palette messups.  (PCX and Windows bitmaps should work too, but I haven't
tried them.  And the nonexistence of palette messups is not guaranteed.)
In a word, Fractint.  I have Fractint for OS/2 2.0 version 17.2 (from Hobbes),
and it works fine.  From the File menu, open a file and select GIF (or
whatever) from the radio buttons.  The picture will be messed up, but that's
OK.  Select 'Save As' from the File menu, and save your image as an OS/2
bitmap and you're done!  I had some problems with interlaced GIFs, so I saved
them as normal GIFs using the Windows program WinGIF.

        The simple solution is to get a copy of INFOZIP for DOS.  I think
it exists.  The problem is not with OS/2, but with INFOZIP.  It creates a
type of compression only found in the newest PKZIP beta.  If the newest 
PKZIP is released yet then it may also handle the files.

 I'd like it to stop messing with it entirely and leave it the way I set it.
I've noticed that depending on what window I focus on, the Numlock changes.

Actually, there's a utility that comes with OS/2 to make a disk image of a
bootable disk.  You can then boot that disk image in a window just like the
emulated DOS that comes with OS/2.

Also, if you have OS/2 Multiboot (not dual boot) installed correctly you can
have OS/2 boot a DOS window from a DOS partition.

OS/2 also comes with a special DOS driver which the non-emulated DOS windows
can use to see the HPFS drives (This only works which running OS/2, you cannot
use it to access HPFS drives from straight DOS).

To find out the meaning of these error codes, boot with the install disk.  
Proceed with disk 1.  When ask to start install, ESC out to command prompt.
Entering "HELP SYSxxx", where xxx is the error code, will give you the detail
explanation.  --Ron

I'm not sure, but I'm doing the same thing.  I haven't been able to get it 
going myself.  Frist suggestion.  Use external cables, don't try to jumper
the two on the card itself.  Second suggestion.  Get a NULL Modem cable,
or get a cable and null modem adapter.

The trick is to:
     2    to     3
     3    to     2
     7    to     7
     5,20 to    8  ?  I think
There are several needed to be complete.  Dont have that information off the
top of my head.. sorry.
