Much to the relief of most of you, I'll bet <grin>, I'm taking the
pro/anti VESA discussion between Scott and I to private email.  The
topic really has little or nothing to do with OS/2 anyway.

I don't see the contradiction if you go with the assumption that even the
heavy duty diagnostics can't test all parts of the memory completely, which
is the basic premise of what the previous poster was trying to point out.

I'm no hardware guy, but I would be very critical of any 'heavy duty memory'
tester that said it tested all possible problems/parts/whatever there is to
memory.

Do the memory testers even run long enough to go in and scope out every bit
of 20 Meg of memory????

Well, to further specify the problem, which I have too, I thought it might
help to know about the controller.  I use a generic IDE controller.  I
don't just get general read errors, I get outright INT24 ERRORs.  This is
REALLY depressing, since I can't even go back to DOS when I need it. 
Another thing I tried was making a boot disk from real DOS.  (format a:/s).
It won't boot off of that, either.  It prints garbage all over the

Organization: The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 05:11:22 GMT


I've been having some strange problems when switching from full-screen DOS  
programs to window. I've noticed that sometimes OS/2 won't even recognize
the ALT-HOME combinations (even though it hasn't been turned off), and I am
unable to go from full screen to window and vice-versa. One time when I was
working in WordPerfect 5.1 I successfully switched to window mode with ALT-HOME,
then was unable to switch back to full screen using the same keys. Has anyone
else experienced this problem. By the way, I'm using OS/2 with the "golden" CSD
installed. Also, can someone explain to me why IBM decided to make the ALT-HOME
function only available for DOS text programs and not OS/2 counterparts? To me,
it is ludcrious for DOS apps to have more flexibility than OS/2 programs that
run in the command line environment. Well enough rambling...

First, SCSI-2 has a max xfer rate of 20MB/sec (double speed/wide).
Second, I'd like to see a drive that handles that speed on a pc...(I'd be

Hi, I saw a Diamond Stealth for a bargain price yesterday. It'll cost me
about $ 193,- (FL.349,-). I know that there is no OS/2 2.0 driver
available yet, and you can only use it for vanilla VGA. 

That's why I need some advice, shall I buy that card or get a Tseng
based video card (I haven't any of those cards, and I'll get one of
those). What are the advantages of Diamond Stealth compare to Tseng
right know and may be next year? 

I think I need the answer asap 'cause y'know, bargain, it'll vanish just

The 12/14/92 pc had several bits of good news for os/2 2.0.


The first is that os/2 2.1 is close to being finished and that it will
support windows enhanced mode applications under winos2.

The second is that Symantec is releasing zortech c++ for os/2 2.0.

These are both good things to read.

I'm building a custom serial card (it must do 45.5 baud) for a TDD
(Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) project, and need to know which
UART chips COM.SYS will talk directly to, so that I don't have to write
a special driver for the thing.

If you have an older serial card (one that actually has single UART
chips on it, as opposed to new-fangled custom combo chips), and you
have the lid off your machine, please feel free to post me the
manufacturer and chip number.

Please forgive my lousy memory for part numbers, I'm at work, but my
databooks are at home (when will I learn to take notes?)

a)  From unrelated discussions in this group I gather a 6551 and 6551B
    will work, is that correct?  Is this the same as the Rockwell chip
    I find in my circa '79 databook?  If not Rockwell, who makes it?

b)  I've heard of the National Semiconductor 8205 (something like that).
    Is this Ok?

c)  Motorola 6850 (MC146850?) Ok?

d)  Our local parts store (Active electronics) stocks a COM1867 (something
    like that) from SCB or some such.  We couldn't even find a manufacturer
    name, let alone spec sheets on it, so I guess it really doesn't matter
    if this one works (unless you can supply me sheets too).

Also, this is not as important to me, but the same info for the MS-DOS
COM drivers would be nice too.  If I have to make more of these for
anyone else, it would be nice if the same hardware would work.

I'm in the assembly process, almost ready for the UART section, so please
contact me ASAP, followup here or e-mail is fine.

Thanks!

For you people who like more speed from your OS/2 system I will recommend investing
in a cached disk controler. 

When switching from an standard IDE controler to a cached controler DC-2023 from 
Promise Technolgy (approx. $100+memory) my system (486-33) got an very impressive

I think the cause of this is actually not a bug but because you must have
had the program still active. By default, anything which was active when you
shut down will be active when you start up. Explicity close it from the list
of available tasks running, and I think you should be OK.

That's a rather difficult question to answer if 50 words or less.

As a start I would suggest reading the OS/2 Frequently Asked Questions
List to get a feel for what OS/2 can do.  I would also follow the
various OS/2 newsgroups, bearing in mind that people (for the most
part) only post when they have problems.  (A lot of tips and
techniques are traded, however, and you might find those useful.)

Then I'd just get the darn thing.  You do have a 30 day money back
guarantee -- no questions asked -- if you get it from IBM.  Set aside
a Saturday and, after you've done your homework, give it a spin.

Another way to find out what OS/2 is all about is to find a friend or
coworker who has it installed.  Then give it a spin.

No.  Sometimes the keyboard BIOS does, but even that is inconsistent.
(To check the keyboard BIOS, make sure the last part of your BIOS

The bug only affected certain early 105 MB Quantums.  I list the

Without the Workplace Shell, yes.  With the Workplace Shell, you'll
need 2 MB more.  More RAM is better, of course.

It depends on how you use it (and how much real RAM you have).  It is
hard to be more specific than that.

Are your sure about that, someone said previously, that
