No problem.

yes, with HPFS.

I would suggest you buy a Bernoulli device only if you need removeable
storage for some reason.

I don't know what the pricing on it is, but I would also look at IBM's
3.5 inch removeable media product.  IBM's prices have gotten quite
reasonable as of late.

Mine was initially only about 90k, but grew to 300k.  I then wrote a
quick program to copy the ini files, and found that os2.ini shrunk
by about 10k, and os2sys.ini shrunk by about 210k.  My program had made
copies of all the content and stored them in a new directory.  I then 
booted from floppy and replaced the originals with the copies.  None
of the settings I had made were lost, and I now have a small 100k os2sys.ini
and a 200k os2.ini  It appears that os2sys.ini grows much more rapidly
than os2.ini, but that the both do grow with time.

Date: Sun, 15 Nov 92 20:02:20 CST
Organization: CrissySoft Incorporated


    I figured thos out the hard way, I want to make it easier for
anyone else who want to do this:

  when you install SVGA modes on os/2 2.0 (CSD obviously) it does
not update you win 3.1 setup.  this is not like a big deal, if
you are willing to play with betas you probably aren't phased by
manual instalations.

  NOT ALL DOS WINDOWS DRIVERS WORK UNDER OS/2

   os/2 updates the drivers in win 3.0 these are winspeed drivers
(very good drivers) and you should probably be using them anyway.
get the video drivers out of your /os2/mdos/os2win/system and
move them over to your win 3.1 setup.

It's VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION.  Set it to OFF.  Also set
VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION to OFF since it will speed up your WIN-OS/2

IBM's APAR# for this is PJ04866, so they know about it and are probably

Organization: University of Lowell
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 1992 23:21:35 GMT

I've been using os/2 for many months now and have had to reinstall it countless
times.  Lately, I've noticed to my surprise that after I install the 2.0 GA
release (original release) from my 5 1/4's disks, that as soon as I finish the
install and do a chkdsk from any location in the system, it reports that the
HPFS has numberous errors in it.  How is this possible as I just installed a
virgin system.  I have done this repeatedly after each installation and found
HFPS error in each one.  At one point os/2 did work perfectly for me, since the
disk errors, it has never been the same (crashes etc.). I have reformatted the
entire drive as FAT and cheched the drive with NORTON NDD and verified that the
problem lies with either HPFS or the installation.  What gives?  Has anyone run
into this?  I've even booted from the installation disks and used chkdsk from
there and it cant fix the problems... HELP!

I think this is a typical problem for 8514/a users.  On the local IBM BBS
it was recommended to set IDLE SENSITIVITY to 100.  It seems to clear the
mouse flickering problem.  I agree it must have something to do with the
new 32-bit GRE, 16-bit 8514/a driver combination. because it didn't happen 
at all with GA.

Nope. It's been all 32bit here (GA + SPP with no third-party drivers)
running in SVGA on a Tseng. My os2sys.ini reached 11MB before I caught
it. I originally thought the problem was related to Deskpic, since it
seems to have begun when I started using Deskpic, but other Deskpic
users report no problems. Whatever the problem, 16bit drivers are not a
requirement for a growing os2sys.ini.

I've never really used the OS/2 feature of booting dos
from an image, but I'm trying it out now.  I can
get the image to start okay, but everytime, I do,
I can't write anything to the disk that the image is
on.  

For example:

(1) I make an image from a DOS disk in drive A: (without all
    that FSFILTER stuff because I don't need access to the HPFS
    partition) and stick it on my FAT partition D:.

(2) I boot up the image and the prompt says A:\, so I 
    switch to the (now) drive C: which is actually drive
    D: to OS/2.

(3) I do some disk access that requires writes to disk.

(4) I get a general write failure

If I just open a DOS window from OS/2, everything is dandy,
so what do I do to allow writes to the drive that the 
image is on?

Thx

You shouldn't delete MIRRORS.DLL because it is not just for programmers ...

You can't have two disk controllers at the same I/O port
addresses.  This may be your problem.  Unless you have set the
jumpers on your ESDI controller and/or your IDE (ATA) host
adapter correctly you probably do have two controllers at the
same I/O port addresses.  If one controller is at 1f0-1f7, the
other should be at 170-177.  Beware, under DOS, you won't be able to
see the controller at 17x unless it has an INT 13 ROM or you load
a device driver in config.sys!

Hi.
	I just found this list, and I have a few questions.
	I'm using a Dell Precision 486SX/25 with 8MB RAM and a 120-meg HD with
roughly 5 MB free.  My video card is a Paradise with a full meg installed.
	Any reason I get worse performance under OS/2 than under Windows?
	I've installed OS/2 onto my DOS machine so that Dual Boot is enabled. 
I know this nixes HPFS, but I wanted to save my Windows installation.  Good
thing too, because as is, I have no SVGA support under OS/2, and my Windows
apps (forced to run under WINOS2 v3.0 >:-(  ) are sluggish and take forever to
load (not to mention being forced to convert all my hard-won fonts to ATM
format).  The DOS boxes are nowhere near as speedy as I was led to believe
(Wing Commander II barely moves...) and despite all the expensive (well, sorta)
RAM I added (SIMMs, by the bye, are a bear to install in a Precision; you hafta
move the power source), I'm constantly getting SWAPPER.DAT errors because of my
limited HD space.
	Help me out, here.  First, is the WINOS231 beta any good?  Second, why
does my HD take so long to get anything onscreen?  Third, are there any
Paradise SVGA drivers out there?  Fourth, how can I get my Windoze apps to
perform up to snuff?
    	Thanks for the shoulder, but I want OS/2 to be the way to go and thus
far it's only been a pain.
	Thanks and apologies of there are any FAQs here.  I read them, up to
2.0g, and wasn't helped.  (I may just be dain-bread).

Never say never <grin>.  The 9517 won't do 800x600, but some of
the PS/2 Valuepoint monitors will.

I need more HD space. (Don't we all?)

HD International has a Bernoulli Drive w/ 2 90MB cartridges & Stacker 2.0 for
$499 and
I'm interested.

Questions: How does OS/2  work with the Bernoulli drive?

It  comes with a SCSI controller. How does my PC work with my HD/Floppy
controller AND a SCSI device? 

Can I format a Bernoulli drive HPFS?

Must you reboot to interchange cartridges?

Is the 18ms access time too slow? (should I buy a 12ms 210MB drive instead?) 



Thanks in advance!
