X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4


I am trying to delete the driver for NECSilentwriter 95, a PostScript
driver, and am having difficulty making it disappear.

I had 2 print objects, one using IBMNULL driver, the other the NEC
PostScript driver. Drivers appeared in the printer
object/settings/print driver for null, Silentwriter 90, and generic
PostScript.

I have deleted the object from the workplace shell, deleted the *.drv
files, in fact deleted the \os2\dll\pscript *directory* and started
over.

I then dragged a new printer object from the template folder. Lo and
behold, those drivers that I deleted *still* appear in the
settings/print driver window!

Furthermore, DeScribe 3.0 BoldGold demo, in its printer window, is
recognizing only the NECSilentwriter driver, though it *should* have
been deleted.

Have I been drinking too much? What am I missing?

As far as I know, _all_ SCSI supports multiple devices and drives. The
main difference between the old and the new types is mainly the speed.
The present MCA has a 16.6/8.3 Mbyte/sec rate (32/16 bit).

My model 95 has got a SCSI end-connector and external connector too.

Please followup in comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware, where this belongs.

I've run into another interesting problem,

I've downloaded pmQVT and PMComm from Hobbes, and neither of these utilities
will work.  They report that they are unable to open COM1.  Interestingly, I
can run Procomm from a DOS window with minimal trouble.  So, any ideas on what
the problem is?

BTW, my mouse is hooked up through a PS/2 port, and I only have one serial
port (com1). (I am running GA+SP).

Any thoughts would sure be appreciated,

Is this the vga800-1.zip package you refer to?  
I also found the 256 color drivers are too slow in windowed
sessions, and have gone back to straight VGA mode.
I tried the vga800-1 driver, but and found it 
was interlaced.   The WPS screen flickers 
awfully, and I don't know what to do about it.  

Are there 16-color non-interlaced modes?
Any tips?
Is version 2.1 any faster in scrolling window sessions?

Sounds like a problem with the disk change line.  There may be a jumper
on the floppy disk drive that is set incorrectly.  Look for a jumper
labelled AT/XT or DSK CHG.  It can also be a drive or controller problem.
On one system that had this problem we had to replace the disk drive
(Mitsumi) and the floppy controller because neither one was designed
to support the disk change line.

I'm running OS/2 with a TMC-870 without problems. I'ts a bit slow, though -
I'm just using the INT13 driver. I haven't figured out how to get OS/2 to
use the controller directly. The card is pretty old (~1986), and refuses to
recognise SCSI tapes or optical drives. I've not had any compatibility 
problems, but I need to use my other SCSI devices, so I'm going to switch
to Adaptec (or preferably Buslogic if I can find  supplier in the UK - are
you listening, Buslogic ??).`

Just my own experience with the '870.

I *think* I fixed the problem -- I tried DTR=ON, and DTR=OFF, and leaving
the DTR statement off altogether (talking about MODE command, here)...
none worked.  I then said, what the heck, and just put in DTR with no
parameters (instead of DTR=... I just have DTR) and now the modem hangs
up instantly!

I have to see if this works with other callers, but it certainly works
now with my other PC.

I installed this under 2.1b on my PS/2 model 90. It seems like the package
does just about everything one could want, but has one rather annoying flaw.
I found that my machine would periodically lock up completely - no mouse,
no keyboard, no CAD, no CANumlock^2 (by the way - under 2.0, this rescued
me from many problem situations, but has never helped with 2.1b. Has it been
disabled?) and would need an application of the power switch. This could occur
after a simple telnet session, but was unpredictable. Often, before a complete
system hang, I'd notice less serious odd behavior - all the keyboard lights
coming on for a window, for example, loss of keyboard response though the
mouse still worked, etc.

As a result, I've gone back to CUTCP telnet. Has anyone else noticed
problems with IBM TCP/IP and 2.1b?

VGAWonder at 1024x768.  Speed isn't impressive but I thought I'd try it
this way for a while (it is the scrolling that is slow).  I especially
like that I can in principle do seamless Windows--the tradeoff being
the acceleration of the 8514a.

My question involves setting up WinOS2.  My impression is that as long
as my WinOS2 sessions are full screen, I can use the Windows drivers
and therefore get some of the benefits of the native hardware--as long
as I stay fullscreen.  Is that correct?  If so, has anyone tried ATI's
beta Windows drivers?

And if I go back to 8514a, can I also use ATI's Windows drivers (that
is, use the card's mach32 hardware as long as I'm in WinOS2?

Thanks for any light you shed on this for me...

It is being called Version 2.1, which indicates a new set of fresh

This is an error message coming from the Borlands C++ compiler, not
the OS/2 system. I've had it occur under DOS as well.

I think it may be a bug in the IDE or compiler when doing certain
things. There is no need to boot the system as this message was
intended for DOS. Just shut down the Dos windows you are running BC
in and restart it. This is what I like about using OS/2 as my
development environment!
