 I know that a lot of video card info has passed through this
group, but I would like some assistance with mine.  I have just purchased
an ATI Graphics Ultra/1MB.  I will be installing OS/2 onto a 130 MB hard
drive, with just one FAT partition.  The only other accessory running notw
is an ATI Stereo/FX board.  Could someone Email me the settings, etc needed
to configure OS/2 to take advantage of my equipment, esp. the video card?
I keep hearing about different drivers, etc.  Could someone tell me what to
do to get them and install them?

 Oh, I am using an NEC/3D monitor.

     -Thanks,
      Scott

Gidday!

I know this question has probably been anwered here before but 

   how can I reduce the size of, or remove the swapper file all 
   together. I have a 16meg system with a 35meg partition for os/2
   and have recently been receiving errors about not enough swap space
   etc. The swap file is currently 5.8 meg but when I installed it I set none
to swap file type.


As well has anybody been able to 123w to work under os/2?

thanks Geoff

This is only true if you have two IDE disks.  My setup works just fine now,
with the IDE set up in CMOS as disk 1, and the SCSI disk at ID 0, on the
1542B.  The 1542 has a built in BIOS, which allows booting from ID 0 and 1.
Since I have 1 IDE disk, and 1 SCSI, no problem!  Boot manager on the IDE
disk allows me to boot from the SCSI disk, which is *much* faster!

I've heard that there are a few bugs with HPFS.  Is it safe to use and can I

I searched the help file on VNPX, and it calls it a Numeric Processor Extension
(80387). Sounds like a co-pro emulator to me, but it doesn't seem to work. 
Maybe I am using it wrong?

I ran it on a plain DOS machine with a SoundBlaster (Rev 2.0 ROMs) and
it worked OK.  Still nothing under the OS/2 DOS box.  I've been told
(via email) that there is a version 2 out.  If anyone can point me to
an ftp site that has "Whacker Tracker II", I'd like to try it out.

The program may work, but I can't use it.  When I load it on a machine
with an ATI VGA Wonder (like my SoundBlaster equipped PC), the program
doesn't display its graphical interface properly - there is very large
amounts of snow on the screen and the mouse leaves streaks.  I
couldn't load a file to test the program with.  I got the same problem
under DOS.

The display came up OK on a PC without a VGA Wonder, but that machine
had no SoundBlaster, so I couldn't test it there.  And that PC wasn't
running OS/2 either.

I didn't see any e-mail address for the author of Sound System - just
a snail mail address and a phone number for a location in Europe (I
think it was Denmark).

If anyone can get in touch with the author, I'd like to try this
program out.  If a more recent version is available, someone please
point me to an ftp site.

The best way I've found to make bmps from gifs is to run vpic or cshow in a 
windowed DOS VDM, mark and then copy the entire image to the clipboard,
and then paste the image back into the icon editor.  File it as an OS/2
bmp, and then save it in \OS2\BITMAPS.  Voila, a new background bmp!

I loaded the "FSFILTER.SYS" device driver on the floppy itself and then
ran the FSACCESS.EXE program which I copied onto the floppy from the
\OS2\MDOS directory. Every thing worked fine afterwards.

I'd bet that OS/2 2.0 would work with this machine.  One simple explanation

Neat!  I think I can explain why.  Note that this is 100% speculation.

MSD is probably checking for the presence of buffering.  Under DOS, if
the program ignores DOS, and manipulates the UART, and still detects
buffering, it can assume a 16550.  Otherwise, it assumes 8250.  Well,
OS/2 buffers the port no matter how the VDM-based program gets to it,
so MSD assumes a 16550.

Hello,

i have a very urgent problem. I'm just settin' up my BBS in OS/2. But
i took various versions of com.sys and vcom.sys, the problem always was
the same. The device doesn't work properly. Transmissions failed.
ZModem transfers crashed. The errors were:
    
    a) garbled data 
    b) timeouts
    c) waitin' for start
     ... etc. etc.

Most told "I got it work. Very good os.". But where are these people?
I'm desperate. I must take my BBS to OS/2, because actually I have not the
time to reinstall the old bloody MS-DOSis and of course I don't want to
do that 8). The BBS Software is runnin' in the DOS shell.
The programmer got it work on OS/2. I don't. We had the same version,
impossible for us to check out, what had gone wrong, sorry.. is goin' wrong.

My urgent question now is: What may be the reason ? Is there any solution,
way, hint that you have and could give it to me ?
Please write it to me. Thx...+

The method using CALL is the best.  Srikanth, you are correct in your comparison
between RUN and CALL.  If you use RUN however, you have a risk that the 
files might be already locked when the RUN program is executed.  This cannot 
happen with CALL.

Look up "autofail" in the command reference, or better yet, trust me
and include the following line in config.sys:

   autofail=yes

I guess I have to include a disclaimer after this: Do this on your

You should be able to use com3 with the solution given in the FAQ (it
was just posted here). 

However, some machines, including mine, will not recognize com3 properly.
Several solutions have been proposed; mine involved using the com16450 
driver (a driver originally designed to bring com3 to os2 1.x). Look
for recent posts on the subject. com16450.sys is at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu
in pub/os2/1.x/drivers, I believe. Others have suggested solutions that
might be better than the com16450 driver.

The air is filled with all sorts of stories about licensing et al between
MS and IBM. The latest one I've heard is that part of the contract between
them stipulates that IBM has to fund a large part of the development of
OS/2 3.0... wich is now called Windows NT. So, IBM is footing the bill for
NT's development. John Dvorak heard this and surmised that NT is just a big
diversion to keep IBM chasing its tail while MS moves on to developing
something even bigger; probably something to compete with PINK I would
guess.

But there are stories abound. ANother is that Microshaft is doing
everything it can to delay shipment of the OS/2 2.0 device driver
developers kit. In this way, they could ensure that there's a very short
supply of good (*ahem*) screen drivers. I can't say it's not working.

As far as any story that MS is going to take the Windows code back... yeah,
that's possible I guess. It's too late though. By the end of the summer,
we'll all be enjoying Win 3.1 support in OS/2 which will cover all of the
apps written for Windows to date (enhanced-mode-only programs excepted).
The only Windows programs that we won't be able to run will be the one's
developed for FUTURE versions of windows. Now, the most notable of these is
Windows NT... which IBM has said that they're not going to support. So,
the only way we can miss out on any apps (aside from ones that IBM has said
they're not going to support... i.e. NT apps) is if MS ever releases a
Windows 3.2 or 4.0. And that's too far down the road. By that time, either
OS/2 will have developed a formidable software base of it's very own, or
evberyone will have left it for NT anyway.
