Yesterday, I saw OS/2 running on a 386DX/20 MHz PC with 8 megs of RAM  plus 2
megs on a RAM expansion card. 
 
I have seen OS/2 on other machines similar to this one. Again, I was amazed at
well it runs on a system like this. Very acceptable performance. This was the
GA version of OS/2, as well. I have the beta and it would have been even
better if it had been running the upgrade. 
 
OS/2 really does like the RAM. The processor speed is almost incidental. It
certainly seems to me that if you want to speed up an OS/2 system, you don't
need a 486/50.....you would be wiser to buy a busmastering cache controller
and fill it up with RAM. Clearly the disk access is the biggest factor in
performance once you have an adequate amount of RAM.

I have an Alloy Retriever tape drive (60 Meg without compression, ~120 Meg
with compression).  It will not work under OS/2, even in a VMB.  It cannot
read tapes written on a Colorado, and Colorado cannot read Alloy tapes.  My
tape software is more than a year old, so perhaps things have improved.
However, I read in the Boston Globe a while back that Alloy no longer
manufactures tape units, and is in Chapter 11 (bankruptcy).

I have a similar question.  I have run procs.exe which tells me what processes
are currently running on my system and I have noticed that there are always
two copies of PMSHELL.EXE running.  I have asked the OS2 help line about this
but they didn't know anything about it.  It hasn't caused a problem so far

No.  Dual monitor only works for the following combinations:

8514/VGA/EGA/CGA and Monochrome
8514/XGA and VGA

In both cases, the primary display gets your PM desktop.  The
secondary display is for text output only and is used by full-screen
sessions only (DOS and OS/2, I believe).  Only one screen can update
at a time although the process on the secondary monitor will continue
to run.  The secondary display will update when the process on it gets
focus. 

Yes, this sounds like a kluge, but that's the way it works.

This is exactly what Andy Schouten from Microsoft/Redmond said at the New
Zealand pre-view of Windows for Workgroups this morning. He and other
presenters repeated - ove and over - that NT was *not* meant to be a desktop
system. 
 
Why price it lower than Windows? Microsoft wants to sell lots of
Windows.....NT will certainly not be cheaper. They want people to use the
Peer-to-peer networking that Windows for workgroups provides......eventually,
NT will ne a natural base as the sstem for running a dedicated server
on....but it ain't for Joe LunchBox desktop user. 
 
Microsoft says so......over and over. Who am i to argue?

The .inf files are read using VIEW at an OS/2 prompt. [VIEW REXX.INF] 
"View" comes with OS/2. The files are created by using a predefined set 
of 'tags' with a normal ascii file and then compiled with the IPF 
(Information Presentation Facility) compiler that comes with the 
Workset/2. The files are pretty easy to tag and you should be compiling 
documents into .inf format quickly. for a test drive I recommend that you 
1) Join the World-Wide DAP (407)982-6408. The Developer Assistance 
Program (World-Wide) is free. 2) Get the Professional Developer Kit CD 
ROM with betas of eveything you need to write code for OS/2 (including 
the IPF compiler). 3) And last but not least... Read Tim Sipples FAQ on 
OS/2! BTW, the nuber to order the CD (once you have joined the WWDAP) is
(800)3-IBMOS2.

It will not work with the Fremont software. You can do one of 2 things.
Boot dos or buy pmfax for $99. I have no experience with pmfax, but I heard

I don't understand this.  I got it working with the SB part of the PAS-16 set
for irq 5 (under DOS), but it won't work under OS/2.  I do have a printer on
lpt1: which is of course definately using irq 7 under OS/2, but under DOS,
this irq is (probably?) not really being used.  Perhaps irq must be 'free'
for the demo to work at all?  I hate it when there's some game/demo which
won't work under OS/2.......

BTW has anyone gotten the PAS-16 SB part working under the beta WIN OS/2 3.1?
I get some REALLY ugly behavior trying to play .wav files (floppy access,

	Not a problem with your video card, I think this is supposed to be
a "feature". This only happens when you use maximized windows that you have
maximized with the button in the upper-right corner of that window. If you
maximize the window by hand, i.e., resizing the window via it's borders,
this won't happen. Kind of a hassle but it works!

I can do these things too, but I still believe that the OS/2 full screen
sessions are in the correct video mode.  DOS sessions are another story.

When I switch to a full screen OS/2 session the screen is filled with
flashing colored boxes, each filled with garbage.  These boxes are
exactly the same size as the character cells in 80x25 mode (or 80x50 if
that's what the session was in when I switched away).  There is a cursor
in the cell that it was in when I switched away.  If I type, garbage
characters appear.  If I choose a character and type it twice, the same
garbage character appears twice (actually, this isn't exactly true, for
each character I type, the printed character alternates between two
different garbage characters; this may indicate confusion between the
attribute byte and the character byte).  I make the following
conclusions from these facts:

1 - the driver sets the correct video mode (80x25, etc.)
2 - the driver does not restore the video memory; this includes font
description data and actual screen data.

The two parts of #2 are probably the same problem; OS/2 uses custom
character descriptions kept in the VGA memory.  The driver fails to
restore that memory.

DOS sessions can behave in two different ways, depending on how the
switch is made.  First, they can behave similarly to the OS/2 full
screen sessions; second, they can fail to sync completely (my monitor
beeps when an invalid signal is sent).
