I will be away for the holidays starting Saturday, December 19, until
approximately January 2.

So that I can at least keep up on developments in the OS/2 newsgroups,
if anyone can help arrange a temporary dial-up facility in either New
Haven, Connecticut (Yale?) or Middletown, Connecticut (Wesleyan
University?), or both, for Internet telnet service, I'd be grateful.
Please mail me today (Friday, December 18) if you can help.

Subject: All kindsa problems with the SP!
Date: 13 Dec 92 03:45:47 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

Hopefully, someone out there can help me... I'm running a clone 486 system,
16m ram, DTC Scsi adapter with several drives, and an ATI Wonder XL video
card.  Here's the problems I was having *before* installing the ServPak:
 
 o Netware Lite and Lantastic/AI would either not work at all or
   lock the entire system when run, depending on the configuration.
   I'm using SMC Arcnet cards.
 o My DOS communications programs (DSZ in particular) would simply...
   stop transferring in the middle of a file, until the other user hung
   up.  IBM told me that it's because I use a 14.4k modem and there's too
   many interrupts, but other people do it.
 o The system would crash from time to time, usually with a Trap 0E.
 
 After installing the ServPak:
 
 o Netware Lite still doesn't work, same symptoms.  I'm using NWL 1.1.
 o The system crashes when I do obscure things like open DOS or OS/2 command
   line windows.
 o The system locks when I try and load the DTC SCSI driver, which worked
   fine under the "old" version of OS/2.
 o Joel A's ATI video drivers don't seem to work reliably, occasionally lock
   at bootup.
 
 I reformatted the drive before reinstalling OS/2, and switched from FAT
to HPFS.  I installed OS/2, then the Servpak.  The system will usually boot
without any "extra" drivers loaded, but that makes my system virtually
useless to me (especially without all the drives mounted).  What am I doing
wrong?  It seems that everyone else is happily using OS/2, and I've had nothing
but tons of problems since day one; it's frustrating, especially since OS/2
does *exactly* what I need in an OS...

If possible, please forward replies to krowand@pilot.njin.net, since I
don't always get in here to read messages.

I am also having problems getting my Trident card to work. I have
a Trident 9000. 
The results you are describing sound very familiar to me. I was told
however that at boot time the OS2LDR program also determines the type
of video card you have in your system. After that a check is made to 
find out wheter or not the SVGADATA.PMI and the OS2LDR info are in 
line with each other.

As you found out there are inconsistencies in the determination of
your video card. The same happens on my system. The solution in my 
opinion must be to get the info in SVGADATA.PMI and the OS2LDR
info in line with each other. Upto now I don't have a clue on how
to achieve this. I would think that an update of OS2LDR and/or SVGA
could cure this. But maybe manually changing the SVGADATA.PMI file
could also get us around this problem. 

It might be possible to leave the SVGADATA.PMI indicating an IBM
SVGA card and change the rest of the info to Trident register info.
I thought of this after reading your mail and since I have my OS/2
system at home I am not able to check this. 

Tomorrow I will send you my SVGADATA.PMI file so you can
try to find the differences.

Succes and let me hear if you find a solution because I am looking
for it too.

Both sets of drivers (now generic) are available in the tri32new.exe

I use to have this problem when I was using HPFS for my OS/2 OS 
partition.  Here is what I have learned in my numerous installs of
OS/2:

	put the OS in separate EXTENDED partition
	use FAT for the base system.
	have a C: partition that is a PRIMARY partition
	
now here is what I propose to do in order to solve the above dilema:

	use the C: MSDOS partition to boot and tweak the system.
	(you can edit everything on your FAT OS/2 partition with
	your DOS stuff on drive C: ... also this is very fast, and
	less time consuming than an OS/2 boot partition (unless,
	of course, you would rather use an HPFS partition for your
	OS) and you can even use a floppy MSDOS diskette if need
	be.)

I use to use HPFS for the main OS/2 partition, but now it is FAT.  Until
IBM can stabilize a few major things so that I dont have to reinstall an
OS everytime I make a mistake in the config.sys statement (insert other
deadly scenarios here ... graphic drivers come to mind) etc.

Date: 13 Dec 1992 09:36:48 GMT
Organization: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada
NNTP-Posting-Host: unixg.ubc.ca


occaisionally the OS/2 COM port driver dies, and I have to shut down and
reboot (since device drivers can't be reloaded on the fly, grrrr).

This is in TE/2, and occurs when alot of crap comes in on the port, so
I suspect the 1000 interrupts thingy.

The help page for the com driver says:

device=c:\os2\com.sys (n,addr,irq,S)

where S = D for DEinstall or I for Ignore. It doesn't explain what these mean!

If I set it to D, and com.sys deinstalls, will it be reloaded?
If I set it to I, should this annoying com.sys death be happening?

I've got it set to I, but it doesn't seem to be ignoring 1000 consecutive
interrupts. I'll try D, but I don't know what it'll do.


So can anyone give more detail about what the two options do?

I am in the process of upgrading my no name 486 PC and am thinking of

works with the Quantum 240S drives I am interested in, the big question
is whether os2 will support the interface without haveing to go via INT13.

Back Master, which is just about to be released, supports QIC-80
according to the publisher.  Back Master is $49.95 (introductory
price).  Ask for precise details about compatibility.

Call (409) 560-5970 for more information or to order.

I certainly hope not, the XT/370 was not something you want to emulate.  The
P/370 was designed from scratch.  Since the card is currently OEM only, the
price will vary depending on the contracts signed.  A good esitimate is about
$5000 per card, give or take.

Granted the I/O of the workstation is the biggest bottleneck.  Running on a

EISA is 32 bits wide with bus mastering but only runs at 8 MHz.  Video and
hard disk controller cards are few and expensive.
VESA is 32 bits wide with bus mastering and runs at CPU speed (up to 50 MHz).
A fair number of manufacturers have announced or already produce VL-Bus cards,
and the prices aren't much higher than the ISA versions of the same cards.

I have seen specs on two VL-Bus SCSI controllers, with data transfer rates
up to 66 MBytes per second - since SCSI-2 maximum is 10 MB/sec, you can hang
a few drives on it without saturating the I/O channel.

Hope this helps...

Hold it!  Time out!  Let's be careful to avoid a lot of confusion here.
When Bill asks "Is *this* the same thing that's on ftp-os2" I assume
he is talking about the service pack.  If (*this* == "Service Pack")
then the answer is "yes, the Service Pack that you can order from IBM
is the same thing that's on ftp-os2".  If (*this* == OS/2 2.1), then
the answer is "no, OS/2 2.1 is not yet available anywhere".

Just a thought...  This might be to Compuserve trying to increase fees for
Internet<->Compuserve traffic.  Compuserve is in it for the money, and might
be asking too much for IBM to feel justified in paying.  (Of course, this
might just be a Compu$erve/Micro$oft plot to take over the free world and

Will IBM be adjusting to this by creating an Internet address for problem
reports?  They, themselves are on the net (here and there...).

Hello..
 
        I would appreciate if anyone out there knows how to get ahold of
