assistant: Greetings Christer

My system is somewhat different from yours however I did discover
something which may be of help.  I'm using Warp 3 (Fixpak 26), Promise
DC440 IDE/IO/SCSI-2 adaptor (uses Adaptec AHA-1540 driver for Warp) and
a Toshiba 12x SCSI-2 CD-ROM drive.
The SCSI adaptor has it's own BIOS and in the BIOS one can set various
attributes.  I found that if I have the "parity check" for the adaptor
enabled and "synchronous transfer" for the CD-ROM itself _disabled_ I
can make use of "Digital Transfer" of audio tracks from a music CD to
my AWE32 sound card.  If "synchronous transfer" for the CD-ROM is
enabled in the SCSI adaptor's BIOS then DT is greyed out in Warp's
CD-Player.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
Greg

assistant: I just ordered a Hayes Accura K56Flex modem, upgradable to the V.90 standard
when it becomes available.  The modem is PnP and therefore not supported in
OS/2 by Hayes.  Does anyone have one of these or any PnP modem for that
matter running under OS/2, and if so, were there any special things you had
to do to make it work?  My modem hasn't shown up yet, I just started thinking
about it after I ordered it... I know that for my PnP soundcard to work, I
had to tell OS/2 version 4 to autodetect new hardware at the Alt-F1 screen
before it would see it, but now it works great.  It should just require me to
take my old nonPnP 28.8 out, put the new 56k in, and tell the Internet Dialer
where it is at, right?

Try Copy from FM/2's internal then see what you've got in your clipboard and
you'll know what I mean...
It 1'st misses the last letter of the selected string, then if Wrap Mode is
ON it splits the line and messes it up completely in the clipboard.  If Wrap
Mode is OFF it copies only the currently visible characters on the screen
(i.e. no more than 78)...
I find my way through eventually accessing the main page and going through

That's exactly how I did it and got it right...
As I wrote in my previous message the Copy/Paste solution is not
applicable for me since I use FM/2.  To see what I mean try to copy plain
text from FM/2's internal viewer and load your clipboard viewer to see what's
in it (you'll be surprised).  It has been a bug since v2.50 (I use v2.61 here
- same story).
FM/2 when copying it eats-up the last letter (regardless of Wrap Mode
selection), copies only the currently visible characters to the clipboard (if
Wrap Mode is OFF) or splits the line and puts it in a messy order into the
clipboard (if Wrap Mode is ON)...

Perhaps either a mis-labeled CPU chip (does happen once in a

speed?

George, there is a workaround for those loooong lines.  Get a copy of
EPM ver 6 - available from hobbes, I think, but from the IBM sites for
sure.  It has a shell mode which captures all the screen output with
lines as long as 1536 characters.  I use it all the time to record
command line sessions for later reference and to keep long listing from
running away.  Your problem is not the clipboard, it's the screen
format since I've been able to successfully copy 1500+ chaaracter lines
from EPM.

As Salaam Aleikum Gregory!
My is a NEC SCSI-2 16x CD-ROM.
As I can do in my Adaptec Aha-2940UW
I went into the 2940UW Bios and checked, and yes, there was a 'parity check'
and a 'synchronous negotiation' option (by default 'parity check' is enabled
so I didn't have to touch it).
So I disabled 'sync negotiation' for SCSI ID#6 - where the NEC CDROM resides
- saved the change and rebooted the system. Again popped an audioCD in the
CDROM and tried digital transfer via the Warp3 audioCD player; also tried
Leech/2 - a program for grabbing audio tracks digitally off an audioCD - but
with NO luck. Digital transfer was *still* not possible.
Unfortunately, it didn't.
