I just bought a Panasonic 2124 printer (nice printer by the way!), and 
was wondering if there are OS/2 drivers around for it.  Right now I'm
using the 1124i drivers, but I want the ones that actually match my printer.

Thanks,
John

   There is one new API with the 32bit GRE, GpiPolygon.
   And the 32bit GRE is also required if you use the palette manager

People never learn do they?  Everyone pooh-poohed 8514/a until OS/2
got popular and they discovered that their "superior" standards
weren't being supported.  Now they're doing it again.

If ATI simply puts out an even faster 8514/a board, it had better not
cost more than an XGA board, considering the tremendous range of
features that XGA offers (if drivers are released that use it).  If it
offers new features, do you have any gurantee that ATI will support
them far into the future.

The XGA standard is just that - a standard.  IBM will always have
driver support for it.  This is significant since you're not using DOS
and third-party companies are more likely to drop OS/2 support as soon
as times look tough for that market.

So you can pick waht you want if raw performance is your guiding
factor, but an IBM standard is much safer to be using in a time when
manufacturers still aren't really committed to OS/2.

This would have made much more sense if you installed the Boot Manager
Obviously, since you have the HPFS installad you did reformat.
Now you have OS/2 in yout dos partition, leaving it subject to any
kind of disaster, like DOS viruses killing your partition table or
FAT or doing god knows what to your OS/2 files. Besides, if your
using HPFS it seems to me you would want OS/2 to be on it, because
of performance considerations and safety.

Hmmm...

wkn@leland.standford.edu tells me that he typed mode co80,43 and then
SHIFT-CLICK'ed the maximize button resulting in a maximized window
instead of my "max-sized" window.  He's running the OS/2 beta and
I'm not -- still, I may have misunderstood exactly what's going on.
I do know that once I SHIFT-CLICKED a 4DOS window,  I've always
gotten "max-sized" windows for it.  I can't recall that I've ever
max-sized a window that I have altered using the mode command, so I
don't really know what the rules are for SHIFT-CLICK -- maybe it
only max-sizes the default window, which would be much more restric-
tive than I thought.  If so, it would not be the first time I have
misunderstood something in OS/2.

I hope to test this scenario tonight.

Er, no.  Bad advice can come from all companies.

To use your CD-ROM drive with DOS and Windows programs under OS/2 2.0,
you need to use a specific DOS session.  This topic has been discussed
exhaustively in this (and other) forums, and it is mentioned in the
FAQ List as well.

See Appendix E of your Installation Guide and/or the online Command
Reference under VMDISK for details.

For native OS/2 2.0 support you should politely and repeatedly request
as much from Creative Labs.

I have, in a drawer at home, a number of fully functioning Intel Above

into a 16 bit expansion slot.  The chips are all 120ns.  Seeing what

I can put more of my 4x9 70ns SIMMS on my motherboard except that I do
not have the cash to by memory right now (I'm surprised I'm eating
actually :-).  Does anyone have any experience with this?  Recommendations?

Would these slower chips accessed through the 16 bit slot actually slow
down OS/2?

Any input appreciated.

I am trying to install OS/2 2.0 GA on a UNISYS computer with the
following hardware configuration:

   386/20 Mhz
   8 MB Ram
   170 MB Quantum SCSI harddrive
   SUMO SCSI adapter card versino 6.0U
   Video card with Headland chip set

During the installation, after replacing the install disk with disk 1, the
system begins to load disk 2 and then crashes with a trap 000d error.
Thinking that some memory may have be faulty, I replaced the SIMM chips with
8 chips that I know to be functioning correctly (they are from a machine
successfully running OS/2 2.0).  However, I continue to receive the same
error message while trying to load disk 1.  I have tried turning off all shadow
ram, disk caching, etc... to no avail.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Date: 11 Oct 92 21:43:33 GMT

Just to help folks who are trying to help answer my performance tips
plea:

1.  The machine I am running is an 80486DX50 with 8Mb RAM, a 200+Mb
    IDE disk drive, and an ATI VGAWonder XL24 video card.  I am also
    installing a bunch of 80486SX25s with 8Mb RAM, 80+Mb IDE drives,
    and the same ATI card.

2.  The DOS performance problems are pronounced.  OS/2 VDMs are running
    a particular database report *7-10 times slower* (on average) than
    straight DOS 5.0.  An interesting and anomalous observation I have
    made is that the report runs faster when there is another, disk-intensive
    process running at the same time!  The poorer performance occurs when
    the DOS session is the only active session (computationally active,
    that is).

3.  The database system being used is FOXPRO 2.0.

4.  The files being used by the application are stored in a FAT partition
    (so they can be accessed by regular DOS).  OS/2 and paging file resides
    in an HPFS partition.

5.  I have increased the sizes of the FAT and HPFS caches over the install
    defaults (I don't remember the exact values and I'm at home now), how
    big can I safely make them with 8Mb RAM?

It might be deleteable using the command line (by removing its
directory below the desktop directory), or by using the WPSTools
(available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu).

But I really don't recommend it.  Here's why.

If you decide you later wish to configure your desktop to be more
WPS-like (rather than having icons minimize to the desktop), you'll
want to have the Minimized Window Viewer around.  I suggest simply
moving it to OS/2 System (i.e. taking it off the desktop, but still
keeping it around).

Incidently, in the office we've pulled the Shredder into its own
folder within OS/2 System, so it requires a little extra effort to get
to it.  It was a little too easy to delete desktop objects, and the
machines are used by several different users.

Well, console yourself with the thought that they were not expensive
in any case, and you can read them ad lib in places where your 
computer is not; and you can have the electronic versions *as well*.
I'm happy with the paper, I don't think I'll bother to spend the 
time d/l'ing (especially at 2400) the relatively large files just
to get colour, indices, and save a little time typing code fragments.

As the French say, "Chacun a son gout", or "Everybody gets gout",
which just goes to show.  ;-)

Has *anyone* managed to get OS/2 to recognize the 1542 when it's default
IO address is NOT set to the default (330h).  I had to set mine to 334h
because of a conflict with another board (it's also necessary to disable 
the 1542 bios when you do this).

If I use the default 330h then it works.  Otherwise I get an error when 
cdrom.sys loads "SCSI-DD Not Found."  The only device I have on the SCSI
is an NEC CDR-74 (I changed cdrom.sys with the NEC hack).  I'm using the
AHA154X.ADD driver.  

Various answers I've gotten so far:

IBM Tech Support: "Gee I can't find any info on this.  I don't know what to
	say ..."

Adaptec Tech Support: "We don't support OS/2 drivers.  You can buy OS/2 drivers
	for our boards from Corel"  [hunh?]

Adaptec Person on CIS: "The ADD driver _should_ find the 1542 even if it's not
	at the default I/O address.  Disabling the BIOS shouldn't be a
	problem."  [well, sounds good in theory ...]
