You need an os/2 device driver for the rs-232 port, but this is provided
with os/2 and is installed automatically.

DOS programs using rs-232 seems to have problems if you multitask them
or try to use high baud rates.  You should try an os/2 file transfer program
instead, they have been reported to work much better.  There are such programs
at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu

Subject: OS/2 performance tips?

Someone was disucssing a FAQ for performance-related questions.  Is such
a beast underway?

I must admit that I'm really dissapointed with OS/2 DOS/Windows performance.
An 80486DX50 I recently set up takes a good half a minute to launch MS Word
in a windowed WINOS2 session--under Windows 3.1 it's about 5 seconds.
Running DOS-based database applications, I saw a 10x performance drop between
raw DOS 5.0 and OS/2 DOS boxes (OS/2 is significantly better than Windows 3.1
in this respect, however).  This conflicts with some earlier primative
benchmarks I did which showed OS/2 DOS boxes with a 10-20% performance hit
over DOS 5.0.  I suspect the poor performance I'm seeing is due to disk
activity being virtualized, but 10x DOS is ridiculous!

I've tried some of the WINOS2 tweaks advertised here and elsewhere and they
don't appear to make much of a difference.

Is there any relief in sight?

I'm no expert, but here is my guess:

From time to time that machine gets stuffed to the gills with uploads.  At 
least one other time, all the uploads were put temporarily on another 
machine until they could be processed.  I assume that the same thing 
happened this time, and they don't want people reuploading the same files.

BTW, I have changed my approach to uploading the OS/2 Shareware BBS files.  
All will go into the /pub/uploads/sharebbs directory, and I will just append 
new descriptions of added files to the "description" file in there.

I'd hardly call the Creative Labs Multimedia Kit a stupid perpheral... It's a

(which, by the way... I've gotten it to run in DOS windows and with the

It's not that big of a deal... OS/2 2.0 is a very nice product... but
it's young and needs time for people to write drivers...  Rome wasn't built
in a day, nor will a really nice operating system be fully supported overnight.

But for calling a nice piece of machinery stupid... people in glass

As was said previously, it may be because the system was booted from a
floppy.  If that happens, OS/2 may not be in charge.

However, there is some potential for viruses to create some mischief
under OS/2 2.0.  Please see my report on the new 32-bit GammaTech

When I wrote that, I had just sent for the drivers.  They have since arrived

(which are referred to in the on-disk documentation), but I had no problem.
I was directed to specific individuals in the Canadian office (Wally

Maybe the American office does not send out just the floppy?

If your display driver supports it (i.e. stock VGA or Trident 800x600

going to its program object, clicking on it with mouse button two,
selecting Open -> Settings, then going to the second page of the

It has nothing to do with limits.  It has to do with *DRIVERS*.  And XGA
does NOT conform to SVGA standards set by VESA, so it won't run.  It does
not matter whether it can physically do the resolution if the app can't
talk it's language. 

In XGA-2's case, however, we should be OK since it is VESA compliant.

Question for the masses:  Is XGA-2 coming out in an EISA version?

Well, how about applying fixes to things that aren't broken? :-)
You don't have more than 16 Mb - why apply the gt16mb fix?
Plus, more pertinently, the "new" kernel, depending on which
you have, but I'm betting it was the later fix, seems more
susceptible to running out of object resources (16-bit GRE,
this goes away with the new 32-bit GRE). Try restoring the 
original kernel, or try the first kernel patch which allowed
the swap file to shrink again, but seems less prone to memory
shortages with a lot of objects on-screen at one time. Or,
alternatively, try to eliminate (minimize or close) the 
windows with a large number of objects under the kernel 
you are now using. 

Or, easiest of all, just wait for the Service Pack coming soon
to an outlet near you. Installing this over GA should alleviate
most problems, plus you get SVGA support.
