So I've been told.  Unfortunately, UHPFS.DLL doesn't fit on the 1.4 MB
diskette.  It has been suggested that I put CHKDSK and UHPFS on a
second disk to be used after booting up. :-(   Are there files on the
boot disk (created by - I forgot which .cmd program, the one available
from ftp sites) that I can erase to make room for the UHPFS and
CHKDSK?

Thanks to everyone who responded to my origonal message.  I have put together
a nice little list of changes (very little since not much needs to be changed)
that should be made when changing your system to 16mb.  So, if anyone is

Date: 27 Jul 92 03:48:00 GMT
Organization: University of South Australia

I successfully installed OS/2 2.0 two days ago but I am having a total lack of
success accessing the office Laserwriter, via a Localtalk card over an Appletalk
network.

Under "real" DOS, I ran the network driver ATALK and then "printed" a Postscript
file using LWPRINT <filename>.

Howebver, when I run the above commands from inside a VDM (using OS/2's DOS),
the ATALK driver seems to load OK but LWPRINT aborts claiming the the ATALK
driver is NOT loaded!!


Is anybody out there using these two program successfully? And if so, how?


All replies gratefully received as this problem is URGENT!

Gee, that's odd.  That is what the books published by Microsoft and 
distributed at the conference say.  Yes, given the preemptive, multi-
tasking architecture of the system it could be made so without severe
changes.  As NT currently exists, only 1 (one) user can be logged on
at a time.  Citrix is, according to Msoft, working on a character-mode
version of NT.

Wrong again. The R4000 is _emphatically_ a 64 bit chip.  It was designed
that way and has been shipping for _months_ in that form.  I know, I've
got one.

You are exactly right here.  My only point is that their timetable of
a September beta release is realistic, but that they will never get it
ready for general release by December.  I'd call them optimistic if they
were claiming that they would release in June of 1993.

True, it is good to see some positive press.  If you look at the very next
page though, you will see something funny.  Dvorak has the notion that
MicroSoft may be able to convince Intel to put Windows on a future CPU.  Aside
from the technical problems with this, why would Intel bow to a software maker
when MS's competition is their biggest customer.  IBM buys more from intel
than anyone else.  I about fell of my chair laughing when I read this.

Could you please clarify what you mean by not recognizing COM3 properly?
Ever since LA I have been unable to use my Zoom internal modem on COM3 and
IRQ9 (uniquely) under OS/2.  I am embarrassed to say that under the other
guys make believe OS that it has worked flawlessly even in a dual login
scenario.  The OS seems to recognize the port at boot via the neccessary
VCOM and COM device parameters but completely FREEZES at the first attempt
under a VDM or native app to write to or read from it.  The system is so
hung (ISA == no watchdog) that a hardware reset is required.

Now does anyone know if this com16450 driver would solve a problem this
severe or is my UART just too old and needs replacing?

Well, I run OS/2 at home and at work we run Win 3.1 for the multi-media
capability.  It's *really* annoying to use 3.1 after use OS/2 2.0.  Windows
really suffers from poor dos emulation.  Under OS/2 you can start copying
a floppy disk to hard disk and still continue with other applications.  I
tried the same thing today in windows and Windows comes to a standstill
everytime it accesses the floppy.   The other thing I really miss from
Windows is the tools in OS/2 productivity folder.  I can probably find
similar apps for windows by browsing through ftp.cica.indiana.edu, but
with OS/2 they're all there with out having to go internet hunting.

I have found two annoying problems with OS/2.  One is the Trident
drivers are really, really buggy (Not IBM's fault, this is the last
time I by Trident though).  I'm almost ready to switch back to the
generic VGA ones from IBM.  The other problem is that PM Terminal
is buggy.  It causes garbage to be scribbled all over my screen
when I connect to the University.

Do yourself a favor.  Spend $160 and get an extra 4m of ram.  OS/2
theoretically runs in 4M, but constant swapping would make the system
unbearable.

When I tried to run certain Norton 6.01 programs under Windoze3.1 I got an
error message that said that Norton cannot run under any multitasking
environment, such as Windows.  Affected applications were Calibrate, Speed
Disk, Disk Doctor, and some other important ones.
Things like File Find and SysInfo worked fine.

I would like to know if Norton Utilities (for DOS) will work under OS2.
Things like SpeedDisk can be very dangerous to run while multitasking
(if even possible).  How does Norton respond to OS2?  
Will I be able to use it when I get OS2?

Thanks,
