	I was told volume 5 didn't exist yet.(I even gave em the part #.)  I
didn't send anything back after getting the first three, but I had specifically 
requested that they be shipped to me as available on my order.

Nope.  All the DOS settings are present.  Remember: A specific DOS
session is an ordinary DOS session where the STARTUP_DRIVE setting is
set to the location of the boot image.

The CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files in the image are also
significant.  I believe that both should be set to compatible
settings.

Yes.  There is now an OS/2 2.0 beta ASPI driver (there have been several 
versions) available via ftp at 128.123.35.151 (don't know the directory
offhand).  This is Adaptec specific, I believe it will work for a 1522
I'm using it with a 1542B.  Running OS/2, you'll want to use the OS/2
ASPI driver, I don't think the DOS version will work at all under OS/2.
Andreas Kaiser's GTAK100.ZIP (also available at same ftp address) is a
port of tar to msdos and OS/2 and works with the Adaptec aspi beta.
You'll no doubt get help/email from folks with more expertise, but email
me for more help if you like.

I've got them on my HPFS drive as well.  They're harmless.  I'd just
ignore them.  My drive was formatted by the OS/2 2.0 install utility,
so it's not an upgrade problem, either.

There may be one soon, but is it really a problem that needs to be

Date: 28 Jul 1992 18:09:19 GMT
Organization: NASA Johnson Space Center

We have found putting localtalk cards in Intel based machines to be
unsatisfactory in all cases. Here is how my OS/2 talks to the laserwriter
on the apple network:

1. We run Kip/CAP on our Ultrix machine and set the laserwriter up as
   spooled printer. In the near future, I am going to switch to the
   Caymon product that lets the Gatorbox control the printer.
2. Install a laserwriter driver in OS/2 pointed to a non-existant
   parallel port, then run lprmon to catch the print files and send
   them to the 'remote' printer. This is all done under IBM TCP/IP.

NOTE: I have used the Clarkson packet drivers to get network
      functions, including printing to the Apple network, from
      a DOS session under OS/2. This to requires a remote printer
      set up. I created a DOS image with the drivers installed.
      This might work for the Apple card, but I doubt that OS/2
      could talk to the printer. Also, Farallon may have new drivers
      for that card. We use it from Windows, but havn't (and won't)
      try it for OS/2.

I have recently changed from IDE to SCSI (Adaptec 1542B). During the
conversion I had both drives active and used both at the same time to
copy all stuff over from the IDE disk to the SCSI disk with xcopy.
Worked fine and very fast (320MB in just a few minutes).

The Adaptec works with it's own special drivers. The drives included
with OS/2 are said to have floppy bugs but there is an update available
and I had no problems so far with these drivers.

The Adaptec 1542B and the SCSI disk (and a CD-ROM drive which I have
also connected to the 1542B) work flawlessly so far.

Kenneth:

First, I believe that vdisk.sys is part of OS/2, which is a RAM disk.
However, I have not checked OS/2 2.0 for this, so I may be wrong.

Second, I have 9 megs installed, with a 512k cache.  Upping the cache
to 1.5 Mb increases the initial size of my swap file.  Using RAM for
cache or RAM disk is a real trade off in OS/2 2.0, and may be
dependant on the number of applications you have active.

I spoke to them on july 7th.  They claim that it will be
at the _very_least_ one year before they have OS/2 support.
But at least they are now claiming that they will be doing
OS/2 drivers, about a month earlier they said they might
possibly think about it.

Anyone want to buy a DJ-20?  Given the fact that their shipping

   Well, I got the final word from the POV-Team leader today.
Here is what he said:

From: Drew Wells <73767.1244@CompuServe.COM>
To: <johns@cs.umr.edu>
Subject: OS/2 Port of POV-Ray
 
  The beta test has to happen on Compuserve with CIS users. I hate to play
the bad guy here, but I'm the one who gets the "Why doesn't this work?"
mail. Your intentions are great, but every version that has been released
outside of the CIS development circle has made its way all over the place.
And it is impossible to coordinate new code changes easily unless all
involved are on Compuserve.
 
 Even with CIS it's hard to keep everyone in sync with code, docs, etc.
I'm sorry, but I have to be strict, the rules are these:
 
   --No executable or modified copy of POV-Ray can be distributed without
     the permission of the POV-Team. That permission will not be granted
     easily. Every new exe or slight modification creates more work and
     support problems.
   --No exe can be released without going through testing by the primary
     developers on CIS.
   --The compiler/author of a particular exe or special file must have
     a CIS account and be available on CIS to answer questions, make mods,
     and field problem reports.
 
  So, please do not distribute any executables or doc files you have
compiled. If you get a CIS account and are available to support the version
you compile, then we can discuss possibilities.
 
  --Drew Wells

************

   So that is the official word on the legality of releasing the executables.

I don't know who he thinks I am, but I don't have the cash to spend on
getting a compuserve account just so I can release a binary.

I talked to Turgut, and I think that He'll be releasing his port anyway. :-)
(his and mine are identical as it turns out, we both did the same thing)

At least they can't sue him :-)

If you are as pissed as I am, then mail a polite question asking 
Mr. Wells, where the OS/2 port is :=)

Don't be rude to him, just send him a bunch of mail asking him where 
the OS/2 version is, and if there isn't one, then WHY NOT!!!!!

That ought to get him to change his mind.

(he thinks he'll have it easier if he doesn't have to answer questions
  about an OS/2 version, so show him your interest instead :=)


I hope he removes the silly restriction...

Hey guys,
    don't forget that the POV team is on America Online as well, in the
PC graphics forum. AOL is much cheaper than compuserve, and could use
some more OS/2 members.  Except, the software won't run under OS/2. :(
