Organization: Hewlett-Packard, Fort Collins, CO, USA

I'm in the process of ordering an Intel-based PC for running Windows NT
and the one I'm looking at comes with a DTC 32-bit EISA IDE disc
controller.  I'm sure it's a great controller, but I was wondering if
anyone knows whether it will work okay with the current pre-Beta version
of Windows NT.

Thanx.

Windows NT does not contain a postscript viewer, and neither does
the Win32 SDK. If someone were to post ghostscript to the Win32 api,
please inform the pd-tools@microsoft.com alias, so that it could be
included on shareware/PD cd-roms as appropriate

As an asside, the manual pages are also on the win32 sdk in
WinHelp format, so reading them is no problem. The postscript
formats are there purely for printing

Yes I have been TRYING to use these debuggers also.  Windbg gets confused 
about a lot of things, and having used ntsd from the pre-release, I have 
to say (with some amazement) that it has actually taken a couple steps
backwards.  I suggest that we all start bugging MicroSoft about this 
because we aren't going to get much done without working debuggers.  
Despite Microsoft's claims, the third party beta stuff will be months away.

Can anyone tell me if NT is compatible with all or most of
the true IBM hardware.  I would assume so, but after the disputes
between MS and IBM, you never know.

Anyway, I am specifically interested in the IBM PS/2 external
CD/ROM ( the model number escapes me now ).  And the sytem is
a PS/2 Model P75 (486/33mhz) with a SCSI hard drive.

Also, does the latest release of NT support XGA and/or 8514/A??

Thanks.

Hi,

I've been having problems getting my machine hooked up to our lan.
First off: We have a LanMan 2.1 server that I'd like to be able to see.
Is this the feature that is turned off in this NT release?  If not, does
anyone have experience with getting things going.  The net seems to have
installed OK.

Second: I've followed the instructions to get telnet running on TCP/IP.
I get the network started and I can go as far as getting the telnet
prompt on the terminal program... but I can't seem to open a connection.
Ideas... anyone?

I realize that I'm not giving much information... that's because I'm not
exactly sure what is relevant.  

BTW... I have it running on a Vectra 486/50U with an Adaptec 1740 and
about 1.5 Gigs of disk and 20M of RAM.  Run's great.

We are convinced that making Windows NT and Windows for Workgroups
have exactly the same interface, and making both of those almost
identical to Windows 3.1 is the right thing to do for an end of '92
release.

Hi all,

Has anyone tried to get TCP/IP working?  According to the
Release Notes, page 21, "Instructions for TCP/IP and
utilities", there is a bunch of stuff "If you installed using
the graphical setup program".  But we don't have a SCSI CD
ROM, so used the dos2nt install procedure.

My card is a Western Digital 8013, which is on the "approved
list".  I edited the tcpip.ini file, and ran regini against it
(this generated a shitload of errors--apparently regini
doesn't like comments).  I can see that the stuff made it in
however, by running the regedit browser.  I also added a
hosts list to c:/winnt/system/drivers/etc/hosts.  I also
uncommented the wdlan field in registry.ini after running
dos2nt, but before rebooting to complete the installation
process.

When I try to start the services, I get:

"The TCPIPSVC service could not be started.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3523".

If I type "net helpmsg 3523" I get:

"The *** service could be started"

Alistair?

You might want to consider a larger disk (maybe 200Mb) as the NT file set
I just installed took up 56Mb or so, not including the paging swap file
which is another 20Mb or so.  NT ads recommend 100Mb.  If you are doing just
NT on the system, maybe you can get by with a 120Mb disk, but with .WAV files
and bitmaps you will eat up space fast.

Greetings,
i have watched with interest the win32 OS, as an application i am developing is
ideally suited to the windows GUI, but requires a real OS underneath.  as NT
delivers this, i wish to get the SDK.  i know i'm going to get flamed
mercilessly for asking this, but what number to i dial or to what address do i
write to get the darned thing?  i haven't got the 3.1 SDK, so i'm apparently
not on microsoft's mailing list, and nothing i've seen in print deals with the
subject of how to cash in on this amazing 69 dollar deal.  do you have to be a
"registered microsoft developer" to take advantage of this?
(humble request:  if i'm gonna be flamed for this, at least don't tell me to
call microsoft.  i KNOW what phoning microsoft is like.)
also, what SCSI cards are supported by the kit?  i have an Always IN2000, but
another fella who's in a similar situation has yet to buy SCSI or CD-ROM, so he
is naturally interested in buying a controller and CD-ROM that will be
supported by NT.  while any combination supported under DOS will allow you to
install it, as i understand, it would be nice to get at all that lovely CD
documentation under NT.  so if anyone has an authoritative list of what
controllers (i am specifically interested in the Always IN2000) and what
CD-ROMs (i am specifically interested in that fast new NEC (CDR-84/74 or
something, i think)) are supported, i'd be grateful to have it.
thanks for your tolerance of a windows/nt neophyte,

Bear in mind that a physical copy is not required, just a remapping of the

I cannot install NT on my system due to a lack of a CD-ROM, but before
I make my decision, I would like to know if NT supports the SoundBlaster
Pro's CD drive....this is VERY important, since if it doesn't I will 
have to forego the SBPro and get a SCSI adapter....the documentation
states that only SCSI CD-ROM drives are supported, but the hardware
comptibility information lists several non-SCSI CD-ROM drives
as compatible.

What gives?  ANY information ( such as people installing NT from 
non-SCSI CD-ROMs like the CD Tech Toshiba drive ) would be
appreciated.

I have installed the Windows-NT CD-ROM and have it up and running, but
so far I have not found any information on how to set system vairables such
as disk cache size, and possibly other system options.

Was this information intentionally left out of this SDK documenation so that
people would not play with too many variables or is it in there somewhere
and I am just not seeing it?

The Windows 3.1 system.ini file had a good set of variables that you could
really tune your system to the point that it worked the way you needed it.

We have found that the network cards will not work on IRQ3 unless you 
disable COM2.  This will be the case even if your network card will work
under DOS or OS/2 with IRQ3 with COM2 enabled!!  Don't ask why!

I would not recommend even starting regedit, as I can make the system

Yes, it happens all the time.  However, Windows NT will take care of the

The disk driver requests DMA transfers through the HAL (Hardware Abstraction
Layer)  The HAL figures out that the DMA controller cannot see the memory
above 16Mb, performs the DMA into a buffer below the 16Mb line, then copies
the result to its final destination.  (and vice-versa when memory above
16Mb is the source of the DMA))

Note that if the DMA controller is 32-bits (EISA or MicroChannel machine) 
the HAL is smart enough to avoid the extra copy.  This is all completely
transparent to the drivers, memory management, and the I/O system, so the
user will be able to use all the memory above 16Mb without jumping through
any hoops or special configurations.

[this person was trying to install TCP/IP on windows NT, after 'net start

the tcpipsvc.exe is run via the 'net start' code and doesn't have any 
stdout/stderr to write to. so what it does is creates a new console window 
to display its output. however, when it exits the window gets removed 
during process cleanup.

sometimes, the TCP/IP service exits very quickly, not giving you a chance
to see the trace output. one thing to try is to type CTRL+S a bunch of 
times, sometimes you'll get the timing right and freeze the output. if 
that doesn't work, if you have a second machine setup as a kernel debugger 
(i386kd.exe, mipskd.exe), you can 'net start tcpipsvc /dbgtrace', which'll 
send the output to the debugger instead of a new console window.
similarly, if you don't have a kernel debugger, you can use NTSD or WinDbg
on the net start and TCP/IP service code, you can trace through this error 
codepath before the console window goes away.

it has been suggested to add a pause to the end of this trace output or add 
a new switch to send the output to a file. but we don't have a version with 
these changes at this time, sorry.

As I understand it, the R4000 (and R3000 and R2000 and R6000 before
it) has absolutely *no* hardware page table support.  It simply has a
TLB.  Therefore some software for page tables would have been
