Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

I figure hey, these are the official drivers so they must be good.
WRONG!  The UNOFFICIAL drivers are much better.  They made the new
fonts so that everything looks like it is BOLDFACE and when booted up,
my screen was shifted about 1" to the left, so  I had to readjust, not
to swift.  Also, I could not run my WINOS2 apps anymore, they wouldn't
start up, probably cause the system.ini files weren't done correctly
when it self modified all my files(TG I made a backup!).  All I can
say is be careful and if you do try the NEW drivers, back up your old
unoffical 32bit drivers.  Good Luck!

 I tried that and it doesn't work. If anyone has any idea of how that
 could have happened and knows of a fix, I would really like to hear from
 you. I'm somehow running out of strength with this one. 

 Somehow I think my system doesn't want me to release a 32 bit app that
 I've been working on for about 3 months now. Oh well, so much for this
 Jan. 1st release date.  

 BTW, thanks to Ken for his suggestion.

 Nick.

: -Glenn

I found a few problems with this (now fixed - read on).  They were
(note I have an ATI Wonder XL and an Aamazing 8426 monitor):

1. At 1024x768x256 I got a very bad WPS display - short flashing
   horizontal lines appeared to the right of every object.  From earlier
   conversations with Joel Armengaud, I believe this is a problem with
   the driver not handling my non-interlaced monitor properly at this
   resolution (a combination of the monitor, board and driver?).
   
   The solution was to go back to the BVHSVGA.DLL file from the service
   pack (you did back it up before installing tri32new.exe, didn't you? :-)
   and use the SVGADATA.PMI file from Joel's ati256c2.zip file.  This
   should only be necessary with some boards and monitors.

2. The directions did not explicitly say to add the Windows drivers
   to SYSTEM.INI, although I think it was clear from the examples.
   Change the line that starts sdisplay.drv=, and possibly the line
   that starts display.drv=..., but see the next point.
   
3. I found that when I did a CTRL-ESC from the full-screen WINOS2
   session to the desktop and back again, the WINOS2 cursor disappeared
   (deja vu all over again).  The fix was to go back to using the ATI
   windows driver for full-screen WINOS2 (the line display.drv=...)
   while leaving the seamless driver (sdisplay.drv=...) set to the
   Trident driver.

Subject: OS/2 2.0, IDE, SCSI, and ASPI - HELP
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8]
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1992 23:37:11 GMT

I need to know how to get the ASPI driver to work with my SCSI stuff and
still be able to boot off of my IDE hard drive.

I have a PS2 (model 70) running only OS/2 2.0 which boots off of the internal
IDE hard drive (only one partition on it).  I also have the Adaptec AHA-1640
SCSI host adapter.  Off of this I have a 300 meg SCSI drive and an Exabyte 8200
SCSI tape drive.  I dissabled the BIOS on the Adaptec so that the system boots
of the IDE, as it should.  My problem is that the system hangs when it gets
to reading the config.sys file IF the file has a reference to the ASPI driver.
I have gotten the SCSI hard to work with the IDE drive but I can't use the
tape drive until I can use the ASPI driver because I MUST run gnutar (gtak)
to make tape for unix machines.

How should I set up my config.sys (the BASEDEV lines) to get the ASPI driver
to work.  Here's the relavant parts of what I have:

BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM2ADSK.ADD
BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD
BASEDEV=AHA164X.ADD
rem BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD
BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD

As soon as I uncomment the ASPI line I the system hangs on boot.

I know this should work because I got our DELL 486 to work but it didn't
have an IDE hard drive, just SCSI.  It had on SCSI drive and one SCSI tape
drive and the ASPI stuff installed just fine.  I even got the gtak pakage
to work just fine.

Any ideas, suggestions or comments would be appreciated.  Please email me
responses and I can post the solution(s) when it is all figured out.

Thanks,
Peter

Subject: Is this in OS/2 2.1 ?
Organization: Delft University of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1993 18:17:30 GMT

I find myself a lot in a situation were I want different font sizes
for different dos/os2 boxes. Like for instances, when I have turbo
pascal or borland c running, I have them in 50 line mode, so I
set a 14x8 font to get them on the screen. However, whenever I
do a run (starting a program which uses 25 line mode) I have to
resize afterwards.

So, does os/2 2.1 offer:

- font size settings on a per app. basis.
- dynamic adjustment of windows or,
- static window size, that does not adjust downward.

I know that the latter can be done by maximising the window, but
this also means it always ends up in the top left corner whenever
it has been iconised.

I have a Trident card and have never seen this. Nor have I seen it on the
Tseng based card I run at 640x480x16......
 
Perhaps it is the video driver?

There shouldn't be, no.  The only keyboard-related settings in your
CONFIG.SYS file should be:

SET KEYS=ON
DEVINFO=KBD,US,C:\OS2\KEYBOARD.DCP

(with the drive letter changed, if necessary, as well as the country

Add SAS 6.08 beta for windows to the list.  It runs in standard mode
on the SP + winos2 3.1 beta, and in enhanced mode in 2.1b.  Of course,
SAS 6.08 beta for OS/2 is supposed to be much better (still waiting

I've got a similar problem.  It seems like OS/2 thinks a 1.44 meg disk has
about 400k less data than it should.  I couldn't install wing commander because
several disks used up every last byte and the install program gave errors
with the last few sectors.  Booting DOS from floppy allows me to read the

So what gives?

Are these the September SB files? Or new ones. When ever i use the September
drivers, my system takes a TRAP D in AUDIO1$ and i have to boot from floppies
to recover my system.
 
OTOH, when I use the Dec 7th SB drivers from IBM, my system comes up just
fine.....but MMPM/2 doesn't work at all.
 
This is getting very aggravating. I have moved my statements in the config.sys
to the top.....no luck there either. My SB is only 4 months old and it is
definitely V2.0.
 
I even tried the September sbw2.sys for .WAV only.....but no luck. At least it
didn't TRAP my system.

It definitely is a WPS. Your method is interesting, but seems consistent
with the way I got os2sys.ini to grow (same size increment, I think)

I can get os2sys.ini to grow if I open up the Settings menu tab on an object
(but only if Settings... hasn't been opened for that object before).

Since you used WPS to drag/copy an object, WPS must automatically look
at or copy the settings info, causing the same growth as opening
up the  settings menu manually.
