I have run the INSTALL program, and have configured my monitor (MAG MX17)    
using the custom monitor selection.  I've also used the 'Testing Card'
selection in the install menu, and all 8514/a modes work correctly, as
well as all the given resolutions.  The 800x600x16 DOES work, both in
the test section and VPIC, but the 800x600x256 isn't in the test menu so I
can't test it there.  In addition, 1024x768x16 doesn't work in VPIC either.

Actually the compatability of a fax-modem is not a function of the hardware
but of the software. My fax-modem works fine under OS/2 with some fax
software but the fax software that came with it locked up under OS/2 every
once in a while.

Before ordering, find out if the software is OS/2 compatible. Try to get
Win-Fax.

Interesting.  I'm on a 486-33 8meg 125 meg disk system.  Plenty quick
for me.  In fact, some DOS sessions I have found actually run faster
than they did under MSDOS.  I'm also running on a Novell network and
system just simply hums.

I'm still trying to get the Norton Desktop for WIndows 2.0 to run under
OS/2, especially since I've heard that others out there have succeeded. The
following happens quite systematically: start NDW, get an error screen. The
message is 

"WIN-OS/2 Full Screen

A program caused exception c0000005 at 00010106
Due to insufficient stack space, the exception was not
dispatched. The process was terminated."

Followed by a register dump.

The location isn't always the same... one other time, it was 000100a6. 

Can anyone interpret that for me? Is it giving any useful information about
what is going on? 

By the way, some of the auxiliary programs in NDW do seem to work (the icon
editor, deskedit). But the desktop and viewers cause the error every time.

 That was not quite right. Under "real name" or "real title" (german

Ahh, good point, I didn't think of that.  But should it matter if you  had

without any problem but I want to install directly
from installation diskettes.

I am totally deaf and I have special phone number for

Can you please advice me why my machine won't accept

There is a file in your /OS2/MDOS directory called FSFILTER.SYS.  Copy
this file to your DOS boot floppy or image file.  Include the
following line at the top of the DOS floppy (or image file)
CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=FSFILTER.SYS

Now, the disk will be able to read OS/2 disk volumes.  Note that
filenames not conforming to the DOS 8.3 convention will not be visible
to the specific DOS session, just like in the emulator.

If you boot from an image file, you'll notice that you can't access
drive A: from the specific DOS session.  This is because your image
file is a virtual drive A:.  To disconnect the image file and
reconnect your physical drive A:, use the command

FSACCESS A:

The FSACCESS program is located in your \OS2\MDOS directory.  I
suggest that you add this directory to your image file's PATH.

A few other notes:  After reconnecting A:, you won't be able to read
the image file, and you won't be able to adjust it, you you may not
want to put the FSACCESS command in the image's AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

After reconnecting A:, the COMSPEC variable will be pointing at A: and
you'll have to insert a DOS diskette in drive A: whenever you quit an
application.  I copied the DOS COMMAND.COM to a location on my hard
disk (D:\MSDOS5) and used the SHELL= parameter on the image's
CONFIG.SYS file to use that one.  This prevents that annoyance.

Most of the programs in the \OS2\MDOS directory are incompatible with
specific DOS sessions.  You may want to copy your favorite utilities
from your DOS diskette(s) to a location on your hard disk (I used
D:\MSDOS5 again) and place that directory first on the image's PATH.

Just a few pointers to make life simpler.

Hello.  I have a question I hope someone can answer.

I have a 130meg Maxtor 7120A IDE hd.

It formats out to 129.9 megs under DOS 5 & FAT.
It formats out to 127.1 megs under OS/2 & HPFS.

Does anyone know why I lose 3 megs if I use HPFS?  I thought that
HPFS would give me more space than FAT because it uses smaller
sector sizes than FAT, or something like that. 

Please reply if you have an answer.  Thanks.

Because, like DOS, you need to boot it.  If you were in a desert and
given a DOS diskette of the wrong size, what would you do?

Actually, you can install from Drive B.  Just get ahold of
INSTALLB.ZOO, available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.

This current setup is excellent (for me ;-)) ...if I just could get it right
Also, when I am done with the last install scenario (1/75/100/35/100)
the drive E (100MB HPFS) cannot be formatted only after CONFFIG.SYS
is modified (i.e. IBMINT13.I13 is removed) and  the new ADAPTEC driver
(6-10-92) is installed and machine rebooted.
Any thoughts, comments? Please help. Thanks.

I think we may have it wrong: Dvorak does not like OS/2, he only likes
controversy.  IMO Dvorak has "gotten it wrong" so many times he is not
worth reading.  He's not a bad writter as muckrackers go, but his
articles lack evidence of any technical understanding.

I don't look for much of a change until the rags get the word that in
the corporate world at least, one OS/2 sale implies multiple licenses
and that "killer apps" are not necessarly 32bit versions of Lotus, MS,
etal, but corporate developed Customer Service Systems, ticket sales and
airline reservation systems, banking and financial administrative
systems, hospital and health care delivery support systems.  It is these
applications that need and can benefit from the features that OS/2 has
offered for several years now.  The new features of OS/2 2.0 only
enhance its value.

I am grateful that the cost of technology (balanced against my
checkbook) makes it possible for me, as an individual user, to enjoy the
performance, protection, and convenience of OS/2 2.0 on my home machine.

Happy OS/2ing it (at home, soon to replace MS Windows 3.1 at work)

My views and I admit it. Don't know about MITRE.
