Use the selective install utility.  When it asks for the display
driver diskette, use the ones from the SP (the last 2 diskettes).
This should install any IBM driver, including the new TSENG/4000
drivers.

Organization: University of Chicago
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1992 07:08:55 GMT

Hello, I have a problem will my BOCA 14.4 Modem and PMCOMM 2.01.
The problem is that when I do downloading, it bogs down my system
and it slows down to about 330 cps when it can do over 1200cps.
Is there anyway to get the both speeds back up? A form of buffering?

Now I have also a question about the ATI Graphics Ultra.
I just bought one. Not a plus or a PRO. I have been able to
see some speed increase use it with the OS/2 V1.3 drivers.
Are there any newer drivers? Does it make the Ultra go faster?
Is it a true OS/2 V2.0 32-bit video driver for the Ultra?

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi, there,

anybody bought Gammatech's utilities for OS/2?  How is it?
Sometimes you really need those utilities, right?  For example,
I added 8MB to my machine at work (now 16 MB total) today.  I am
sure one of them was defective, but the BIOS was not able to tell
much.  Finally, with try and error, I located the defective group
(4 pieces) and exchanged them with new, good ones.

Not likely.  When have you ever seen quality (like Word and Excel)

for DOS, Windows or Unix yet.  Of course, I push programs hard, so
I've really had to use something like Word for my work.

386-Matlab _does_ work under OS/2; you need to have a recent enough version.
I had Version 3.5d before and it did not run. I called technical support and
they sent me out Version 3.5j which does.  According to the Math Works
people however, the 'j' version does not necessarily work under OS/2. Well,
I've had no problem.  Good luck.

There seems to be a bug in SIO with DTR handling. I have that problem

I have modified and rewritten the text-mode .MOD player that comes with
Michael Fulbright's SBOS2.SYS, a soundblaster, sbpro driver for OS/2 2.0.
My modified MOD player is a 32bit multithreaded PM MOD player which uses
that driver.  It is still an early version- there are some minor bugs, the
biggest of which is that it doesn't work with MODs which contain large samples
on some systems (although it works fine on all MODs on my computer)- I have 
stopped working on it for the holidays.

If anyone is interested just drop me a line at davidn@cs.tamu.edu
I am out of town so it may take a while for me to return your mail.

When it is finished I will upload the completed version to hobbes.

Full source is included.
