Well I used OS/2 2.0 with 5 MB RAM (20 MHz 386SX) for a couple of months 
(and with HPFS). It wasn't as fast as my current 8 MB 486DX/33 but it 
worked and was stable. Due to a hassle with purchase of a new machine for my 
office I've even had (a 4 day) experience with HPFS in a 4 MB 486DLC/33.
It didn't crash a single time and the speed was not that bad (really) as long
as I didn't use any Windows aplications.

Can OS/2 use IRQ2?  

When I set up COM3 to run IRQ2 using:

DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS (3,3e8,2) (4,2e8,5)

in the config.sys file, then OS/2 reports:
Unable to load COM3, Interupt not available, or something like that.

Thanks

Subject: Both protocols IPX/SPX and TCP/IP on OS/2 machine ?
Organization: Techn. University of Berlin, Germany
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 19:32:14 GMT

Hi,

in my new project I need to have both protocols, IPX/SPX and TCP/IP, on one
OS/2 machine with one network adapter (16-bit SMC). At the moment I am
running OS/2 1.32. I will update to OS/2 2.1x later. The TCP/IP product I
am using is IBM TCP/IP 1.21 for OS/2 1.32 and later.

IPX/SPX is needed to connect to a Netware 3.1 server for both file access
and access to an Oracle DBMS running on the Netware server.

TCP/IP will be used for an RPC-based application and to import/export
NFS file systems.

I heard about ODI drivers for OS/2. Is that what I need or are there any
better multi-protocol solutions ?

The same problem will arise for DOS/Windows clients at a later stage of the
project. Is there a similar solution ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.

Funny you should ask.  :-)

The EPA has a new program in the U.S. called "EnergyStar," and they've
worked with several computer makers (IBM and Apple, for example) to
get energy conserving PCs to the market.  PCs which meet the EPA
requirements will be allowed to carry the "EnergyStar" logo.  You
should see these machines starting in 1993.

I'm most familiar with the IBM machines that seem to be very close to
introduction.  IBM demonstrated them at Comdex (in something quite
close to final form, but you never know).  These machines are for the
desktop, but they are light (notebook weight), have PCMCIA slots for
expansion, have no fans, and run with pure CMOS components (including
IBM's 486SLC processor).  IBM demonstrated these desktops with the
10.5 inch flat panel active matrix color display -- the largest on the
market, and now shipping with the ThinkPad 700C notebook -- but they
also promise a power conserving monitor.

Or even, in the base package, prominently include a sheet with a brief
description of and order form for the redbooks.  That would, at minimal
cost (to both IBM and those who don't want them), make it easier for
people who _do_ want the extra documentation to get it.

My best advice is to attempt to buy ONE new chip of the same brand and specs
as you now have and try swapping out your chips one at a time -- if you find
one that causes the system to work when it is replaced, it's the bad one
and you should then have substantial reason to expect your money back for it.
[or else look for a new vendor with more integrity].

Of course since this *is* a wide release beta if some kind soul was to put
the files in 1.2M disk image files and then made it available at say
Hobbs. Well that sure would make some of us happy and just think what wide
beta testing it would have with all the net OS/2 guru's. Just a thought.

hello, 

I have thought of having a larger more thorough list of bugs and

These reports would not be simple "bug" reports but detailed descriptions
of "bad" os/2 features and importantly specific suggestions of how these
can be made better. I also considered sorting the suggestions by the system
software involved (WPS,CMD.EXE,BASE OS,CONFIG.SYS) etc..

Is anyone interested?

  Thanks for the info (and congratulations).   Did you see the post in

  I haven't received mine yet, so I can't comment, but how thoroughly

The key is the SCSI (or, in your case, non-SCSI) adapter.  If it is
supported natively by OS/2, then, nine times out of ten, so will any
device attached to it.

What Sony is evidently working on is an ADD driver for their adapter.
Keep on them about it -- make sure they know you're interested in
their efforts.

Nonetheless, you can operate any DOS-supported CD-ROM drive using a
specific DOS session under OS/2 2.0.  To do so, consult Appendix E of
your Installation Guide and/or the online Command Reference under
VMDISK.

IBM computers typically have had very LOW fault tolerance.  (IBM computers
means minis and mainframes too).

On some of their computers, if you unplugged a device while the system was
running  (ie, a keyboard), you would have to reboot the machine (on
most occasions).   There was even one that would shut itself down if the
console was considered "damaged" -- ie, you unplugged the CRT from the wall,
then entire system would shut down, and you'd have lots of unhappy users.

So, I theorize, that this property of OS/2 is descendant from the mainframe
(or at least large-computer scale) school of thought at IBM.
