I have had good service from the IBM Global network (now owned by 
AT&T). Check out http://www.ibm.net.

Hope this helps...

I am using Os2/v4 on a Pentium 11 with
a 4 meg video card, & 15 inch svga monitor.
The best display color setting I can get is 640-480-16.
I want to get  256 colors instead of 16.
I changed the Vga setting to svga via install.
That locks the computer!
I had os2 vers 3 for some yrs and used the svga
setting on the install util. it worked fine
I could get 256 color display or what ever I needed.
When I do this with Warp 4, the computer locks up.
I tried all I can think of but nothing works.
The comp locks and I have to Alt & F1 -F3
to get it working again.
How can I change 16 color setting to 256 and survive???.
Help much appreciated.
TIA.
It took 82 yrs to get this dumb.
Albert.

Your original post contained no information about what sort of drives they
were. The most common problem posted to these groups is the one with
larger than 4Gb IDE drives showing up with weird partition structures.
Updating the IDE drivers will have no effect on SCSI drives obviously...

What sort of SCSI card are they attached to?

Sounds like the old keyboard bug. Go to
fftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/english-us
and look for either a directory called ibmkbd or one called warpinst. If
ibmkbd is there then it'll contain a single file you need to replace on
the second diskette. If it isn't then take warpinst.exe, run it to expand
it and just use ibmkbd.sys from that.

Make diskcopies of the diskettes and update those!!

Seconded.  WarpUP! is very slick, though I was disconcerted (and
somewhat inconvenienced) by it demanding the use of WebExplorer,
instead of my system's installed Netscape Navigator.

On my Warp 4 system, I applied fixpack 5 from the BMT CD and fp 10
from WarpUp.  In both cases, applying the fixpack was as simple as
saying "yes" to a screen that said something like, "Here is the
fixpack, do you want to install it now?"

WarpUp also contains an automated system for updating an array of
features.

I'm missing something here. Why would you need either? Everything 
should be on the CD so there's no need for dialup. I can't imagine
what the benefit would be of making the usual fixpak text available
in html. So what is the reason for needing a browser?

Not entirely true.  The HX chipset which is on the ASUS P55t2p4 is the
exception.  If you can find a copy of this MB it is upgradeable to the

Subj: New WARP 4 install, no sound

From: Ray <raymond.heath@pss.boeing.com>

OK Trevor an all you gurus,
here's the problem:

First my system

Intel P133 (non MMX)
16meg RAM (soon 32meg)
1.5gig EIDE hard drive
NEC 4X4 IDE CD-ROM
100meg interan IDE ZIP
1.44 floppy
Sound Blaster Vibra 16 audio card
Supra 28.5 ISA modem, soon to ISA HAYES 56KFLEX/V90

Loaded DOS 6.22 and WIN 3.1 and all drivers to verify system. That's
been my standard procedure since WARP 3 red spline.

Booted off of WARP 4 boot disk and loaded with Easy install method.
After full load, set up video resolution, printer, and re-boot, the
system worked fine, except no sound. What am I missing? The VIBRA 16 is
a plug and play card, BIOS recognised it, so now what?

I don't know why it wanted WebEx (especially as I have just been
back to it, to research this answer, and found it seemed willing
to use Netscape) but HTML is its medium for handling (a) menus &c
and (b) message pages created on-the-fly during work.  There's no
dialup, BTW.

The Vibra 16 Soundblaster requires a different driver than the
one shipped with Warp 4. If I remember correctly I downloaded
the later SB16 driver from IBM's device driver repository and
that one worked with the Vibra 16 chip.

You also have to specify all the switches for the Vibra 16
and put a /G on the end of the command line (or something like that)
that loads the driver in config.sys

Use the GRADD 80 driver from IBM, they work with this

You will need to install the drivers for the video card. What brand and

Subj: Installation trouble

From: Carl L. D. <>

I had a friend give me his old Micron Millennia P133 computer.  It has
a Buslogic Flashpoint BT-930 and a 4gig Conner hard drive.  I am
trying to install  Warp 4.0 and I get through floppy disk 3 and it
can't seem to find the files on the CD.  It keeps asking for me to
insert the CD which is already there.  I tried copying the files to a
hard drive but that didn't work either.  Warp has access to the CD as
drive H.  I have double checked that from an OS/2 prompt.  I went to
the Micron site and they have very little about OS/2.  Warp 3.0
installs from floppy disks with no problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes: out-of-the-box GA will not recognise/manipulate larger (more
modern) HDD's depending on whether you're running IDE with LBA,CHS or
alternatively SCSI.

I really wouldn't waste your time attempting this route?....and

Also if PSF is hung off the back of a CM/2 gateway...not a good way to

"they" will need to elaborate on "what" exact problems/symptoms "they"
experienced, whether "they" were applying service from GA or previous
FP, some basic system details,and via what method "they" tried to apply
service.
Your success with FP10 may be variable depending on video adapter/driver
and application suite.
If you're installing Warp4 from a Lan/NT/Novell Server based image then
seriously consider requesting your LanAdmin updates IBM1S506.ADD (and
possibly OS2DASD,IDEATAPI,IDECD....whatever from idedasd.zip package) on
the (OS2)IMAGE directory.
And/Or at least update these drivers on your boot/install diskettes and
add a SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 to it's config.sys.
If your using Netview DM, CID,TME or some other installation vehicle 
then there are more "controlled" update methods that may be preferred
perhaps?
Assuming you're not "hamstrung" by an IT Desktop Standard that prohibits
any non "standard" deviation then look seriously at FP11 or at least FP9
instead.
Sorry can't help much further with PSF as it's a couple of years since I
last wrestled/configured it<vbg>.
Good Luck (and make sure you have reams of paper in any 38xx printer

Insufficient specification tendered: akin to "Whats the best car for my

If this truly is a bootable diskette then it appears to be picking up
same incorrect command.com(probably a path pointing to C: drive) as the
hardisk?
IE the IBMDOS,IBMBIO  (or MSDOS equivalent names) have to correlate with
correct version of COMMAND.COM..... otherwise you don't win any banana's
for guessing what "error msg" you get!<g>.
It also raises the question as to what version of PM you're using and if
it's V3.x why not invoke it's OS/2 native exe's from a OS/2 bootable
diskette?.....
but as you refer to PM dos, one has to make another dangerous assumption
that it's v4.x and therefore you no longer have the OS2 native
executables.....<shame>....

Astute observation even though you infer you reached that conclusion by
erroneously supposing that the utter absence of HPFS was absolutely
necessary for that premise.
However ignoring those semantics - BM and "Dual Boot" are not
the same and are not mutually exclusive(ie can exist independently or
together).  As further explained(laboriously) below....

(and as your statements are not totally unambiguous it is difficult to
know whether you guessed luckily or by a more rationale logical
deduction<g>)

> So if anybody can help me to solve the problems, that would be very kind:
> a) start with windows 3.1 after reboot instead of os/2

Unless you ingeniously use ALTF1 menu or a "batch command"selection then
once you've "re-synchronised/aligned" the Dual Boot facility, whatever
you had booted last will be booted the next time. 
Therefore reading you "request" literally (always a dangerous thing to
do<g>) it appears that you want Dos/Win to boot even if you last had
OS/2 active?If so the various options can be elaborated on once your
"initial" interpreter problem is resolved.
However its equally possible(and IMHO, more likely) that you simply want
the capability of Dos boot to be returned?

> b) whats wrong with the partion table

Possibly nothing per se..... may actually be version of IDE drivers
installed versus HDD /partition size or a SCSI disk that wasn't
initially LLF'd originally. 
Even a FDISK /NEWMBR might fix it via OS/2 or FDISK /MBR via DOS?.
The output of both "setboot /q" and "fdisk /query" along with whether

Ahhh so you did "seriously" find some dust when you "looked into the
system"?<g>
(not to mention some "old" systems are more "experienced" but "sillier"
than "younger" more "serious" ones<g>).
That is indeed the "crux" of the problem..... because OS/2 works so
reliably for so long it's easy to avoid paying the "insurance" premiums
and not "bother"(most unkind - I meant "be aware") of backing up Desktop
structure,critical system files, and even partition tables.
Whereas with any WinXX system that obvious lesson would be very quickly
demonstrated/learnt<g>.

Some clarification is perhaps required?
The terminology can be easily misapplied but what you appear to have is
a "dual boot" system.  That is one in which 2 (or more) OS's cohabit on
the same partition.
Thus using the cli equivalents "boot /os2" and "boot /dos" the
"family" type executable(ie an exe that runs in both DOS and OS2
natively) will automagically  rename/swap the relevant "system files"
("COMMAND.COM,AUTOEXEC,CONFIG, IBM/MSDOS/IO, OS2BOOT,OS2LDR ie boot
loaders etc) from an extension usually ending in DOS or OS2 (depending
where you're coming from or going to<g>) and allow the "alternative" OS
to boot.... or not in your case!    :-( .
Also doing a subdirectory search from the root ie 
C:\] dir command.* /a /s 
will indicate the different flavours of command.com if they exist on
search path.....
Look for "command.*" files in (and the relative positions of)
C:\.......C:\OS2....C:\WINDOWS.....C:\WINOS2..... C:\DOS
in your path statements as appropriate to OSv3 Pak you have installed.
Temporarily renaming the wrong files and/or copying correct one ahead of
incorrect one(s) will eventually resolve the "DOS version" conflict if
you approach this methodically.
Of course we don't know whether the "problem" is compounded by you
having installed OS2V3 "blue"(or full pak that includes its own WinOs2)
along with seperate Windows and you have a potential OS2 path ambiguity
or whether you just have Red(half pak) that has got it's proverbial
"knickers" in a knot?
Red Pak might be deduced from your opening statement but nonetheless
could still be an invalid assumption for this non telepathically
advantaged individual.   :-(

Irrespective of what OS2V3 flavour it is, using a dual boot method as
opposed to BootManager(or multiboot by some peoples vague definitions)
can be prone to these occasional  idosyncrasies......not to mention the
very real danger of "brain dead" Dos/Win "shafting" your OS/2's extended
attributes...   :-(.
If you need "real DOS/Windows" then arguably a safer if not better
option would be to create another Primary partition on same physical HDD
using FDISK (or PM possibly and re-sizing partitions) and copying(via
another partition if you don't have Windoze disks) or installing Win31
to the new Primary. 
Thus having 1 active bootable C: (the alternate one being hidden and
protected) at a time and selectable (bootable) via BM.
This could give you (dependent on partition size,installed memory and
number of files) the added avantage of making the OS/2 partition HPFS
and somewhat less prone than FAT to EA corruption/fragmentation amongst
other things apart from preserving your existing drive lettering?.
Naturally both "real" DOS and Win won't be bootable / installable /
usuable on HPFS unless you start jumping thru more hoops by looking at
some Dos HPFS access utilities.

However if you have limited HDD/DASD then consider utilising the OS/2
facility of creating and launching a "real" DOS session to run WinXX and
it's applications in ....
C:\] help vmdisk
will start you off (a little.....initially<g>).... You should end
up(after a little further effort) with a DOS/Win image binary file that
resides on same OS2 partition that is only loadable via OS2 but is a
half-way house tween "real bootable Dos/Win" and OS/2 VDM emulation but
sometimes allows you to run apps that fail in the normal latter VDM.
Of course if you're totally DASD constrained on this partition you may
have to juggle things &/or have to de-install existing Windozy code
first providing you have original (working<g>)MS Windows install
diskettes<g>.
No offence but if you have difficulties resolving a fairly easy
"interpreter" version conflict then I suspect you will find compiling,
configuring and tuning a "real image" not exactly trivial!(but as "they
say":  it aint rocket science either) <vbg>.

Alternatively(again using BM to boot/install) if you have some
flexibility in drive lettering you could always move OS2 from existing
Primary(leaving Win in situ), re-size partitions,re-install in a new
logical and migrate apps as required? 
Assuming you don't need to run any Win/Dos apps under OS/2 in this
(Red Pak) scenario? 
Again more info is required to be able to offer a more appropriately
definitive suggestion.

With modern propensity for larger DASD and useful utilities like PM to
redefine/move/copy partitions then the requirement for "Dual Boot"
becomes more limited and arguably an uneccessary risk(even with W9x and
NT that were supposedly both written by the same arrogant software
company and should therefore cohabit more gracefully<g>).
Also not forgetting that more modern systems allow you to
hibernate/suspend current OS (a more dynamic/faster version of
"boot")and avoid some of the prolonged re-boots required.

Finally without wishing to be an alarmist, but bearing in mind you are
using a real DOS/Win on a FAT partition; have you ENSURED your Antivirus
is uptodate and activated?
(Relying on an old IBM AV 1.02 version as shipped with PCDOS is totally
unacceptable, as is relying on any MS shipped equivalent<g>)

Forms viri (and it's many incantations) not to mention countless others
love arsing around with boot sectors and are/were invariably (mis)coded
by individuals with the IQ only a little greater than a Macro virus
writer(who is vegetatively on a par with a garden pea).....and far below
that of average usenet reader naturally...and we're not even into triple
digit integer IQ's yet! <vbg>.

If you have further queries/require clarification then I suggest you

You're proposing a "destructive" MAKEINI which depending on how much
desktop customisation has been applied could well be the most cost
effective solution or the most tedious, time consuming (and ultimately
unecessary) option<vbg>.

Consider the following:
1. The presense of OS2 Desktop archives has not yet apparently been
confirmed or discounted.
2. Use of Rexx Script,SET DESKTOP (in config.sys) has not yet been
proposed.
3. The presense of any other offline backup of original desktop has not
been established?
4. Use of shareware utility such as CHECKINI (ex WPTOOLS) from Hobbes
has not yet been suggested?

Do you want to now modify your kind advice on reflection or leap
straight in replacing the carburettor in the poor guys engine when it's
only possibly a blocked jet??<vbg>

However as the most import part (ie the Trap register dump) was ommitted
in it's entirety, attempting to identify a cause is pure conjecture or
circumstantial at best?
A trap resulting perhaps in use of Pentium optimised code as opposed to
486 or simply the "mechanical" upset of moving an HDD or as you quite
rightly imply any other numerous variables in "new" PC.

It would be prudent to enquire whether(how, and how long) the "new" PC
was stress tested first? .....or perhaps wasn't due to requirement to
swap other hardware along with HDD - nics,....memory even, while
minimising downtime for the application/service?
Stating the obvious, but cutting corners/costs by not "effectively"
stress testing a PC hosting a possibly "mission" critical application
that's running 24x7 has a certain inherent risk associated with it aside
from the obvious initial install query that was apparently successfully
answered.
Trevor Helmsley had uploaded a utility for stress testing to Hobbes that
might be usefull....

If when people solved problems, or figure out a neat trick with OS/2 to take 5

It would be great also for people to post their results for looking for 
compatible hardware for os2 at that site too.

Eg. if you found a scanner/printer/soundcard/cdrw etc. that works great. Post 
your results there. Then it would help others too looking for stuff.

Subj: HELP, Install Warp 3.0 Connect

From: "Joao Pissarro" <pissaro@mail.telepac.pt>

Hello all,

I am installing OS/2 3.0 Connect on a PC with a large disk. I have upgraded
the Disk 1 to the lage disk support driver, and the FDISK problem disapeard.

The installation process goes till the point when the PC should boot from
the hard disk (afer copying all the files from the disquettes and CD-ROM).
On this point the screen remain indefenitly with a blinking cursor on the
top left corner (it just does not boot).

Any ideia to solve this problem?

Thanks

I recalled having that problem in the original install (12/94) but I tried
replacing all kbd*.* or keyb*.* files on disk 1 to no avail.  I tried a
shortcut, ibmkbd.sys from fixpk 40 on my other computer.  It got me further,
to the blue easy/advanced installation choice screen, but then froze.  I
download warpinst, per your instructions and it worked.

However, I got a sys3175 crash on disk 13. I don't believe it ever asked me
if I wanted Win31 support either.  No MMOS2 folder (set to install Pro Audio
Spectrum sound card).  Any way to complete the install without starting over?

By the way, your sysinstx/uhpfs solution worked for me on my Pentium II.  I
wanted to install a maintenance drive for backups.  In January, you suggested
it for my boot partition of the same machine but I chickened out and used
Partition Magic to reduce the boot partition under 2GB.

One problem I have with the install routine, the second time I am prompted
for disk 1 (after disk 6) it crashes if I use the modified disk 1.  So I use
the orig, and it crashes on reboot, because the updated drivers have not been
copied to the harddrive.  At the same time as I quit to the prompt to run
your sysinstx routine, I copy the updated idedasd drivers by hand; seems to
work.  This time I had to copy the updated ibmkbd.sys file, too.

I believe it crashes on my mod disk 1 because I removed some of the "can't
remove" files to make space.  I tried replacing several drivers with empty
text files of the same name but it works on the first round, but not the
second time through during install.  I recall seeing a thorough set of
instructions (perhaps from IBM) on the legit way to delete files to make
space; anyone know where to locate those instructions?

Sounds like you forgot to add the line:
SET COPPYFROMFLOPPY=1
to the config.sys file on the installation diskette. Without this, the
install process copied the old driver from the CD.

Boot from floppies and replace the IBM1S506.ADD driver on your hard
drive (C:\OS2\BOOT) with the one on the installation floppy. Remove
the floppy and reboot. The install process should pick up where it
left off.

I didn't mention that one because it hasn't been made for a few years
Intel stopped producing the HX chipsets 2 years ago). I had one, once.
It required 2 TAG ram chips, and finding one of those now would be a
real PITA.

If you're planning on buying a new Motherboard, it's a good idea to
make sure it will continue to serve your future plans as well as your
present plans. That should include 100Mhz FSB support as a minimum
requirement.

Subj: OS/2 Warp 3 re-install problems - using Partition Magic

From: "user" <me@home>

After the good things I had heard about Partition Magic, I was looking
forward to an easy time of re-sizing & moving parttitions.  Alas...

First, I run OS2 W3 Connect in a logical partition D.  I have NT 4 in a
primary partition C.  I needed to re-size both.  At the end of a tortuous
process, the eventual line up was 

	Boot Manager	7.8M		Primary
	NTFS		2G		Primary
	HPFS		2G		Logical
	FAT		251M		Logical

All this was done with PM.  During this time, NT was installed and was
running OK.  However at the end of the process, OS2 would not start.  Went
to the Boot Manager OK but simply refused to go any further.  Now, I
thought, it's maybe a drive mapping thing but that seemed unlikely as, if I
boot OS2 from floppies, it sees the OS in D, which is correct; i.e. that's
where CONFIG.SYS thinks it is.

Well, I bit the bullet.  I had little in the way of apps installed under
OS2 and none under NT; all my data was safe on a FAT Jazz drive.  So I
decided to re-install the whole damn thing.  I tried to install OS2 first.
More problems.... (though this time, I cannot see how it could be PM - if
it ever was).  I removed
all partitions, including BM and re-installed them using the OS2 BM as part
of the OS2 install.

However, OS2 will not install.  I get it to the point where it formats the
partition  (HPFS),loads all the initial drivers and asks to re-boot.  I do
and on re-boot, BM comes up
with OS2 as the only choice.  Correct, seeing as it's the only OS in so
far.  I select it then - THE VOID.  Blank screen (with a little flashing
underline cursor...).  The strange thing is this was EXACTLY what I was
seeing after I played with Partition Magic and I
deducted (fallaciously?) maybe Partition Magic was the culprit.

I have never had this, never.  What the bloody hell can be going wrong? 
corrupted install floppies?  HDD errors?  Has PM done something really
insidious to the disc (SCSI in may case) such that a low-level format may
be needed?  How does one even do
that? - I have no utils as far as I know...

Any and all suggestions gratefully appreciated...

Subj: Xfree86 3.3.5 problems

From: jkrim@mho.com

(Sorry if this gets posted twice, tried Netscape from work, but didn't seem
to show up, NR/2 more reliable)

I got the following startx.log when trying to connect to the server at work
and use Xfree86 3.3.5 as my X-windows server:



_X11TransOs2OpenClient: Timeout on wait for server response, handle=7, rc=233
_X11Trans       Probable cause: the XServer has exited or crashed while the
connection was being established

Attaching to the same server (network) via PMX and also from the Amiga
using X11R6.3 both work fine.

Any ideas on why Xfree86 isn't working?

 As far as I know theres a bug in PM which gives the HPFS Partition a wrong
Handle (e5h not efh or something like it). That means that you should run OS/2
Fdisk to correct the Partition handle.
There has been an article a week ago in german ct magazin about the problem. I
will send it when it is found ;-)

You're installing to a partition that's outside the first 2GB of the disk.
Either move your installation partition under the 2GB point or get
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/patches/warp_3/gt2gbw3.zip and use
that. The readme with it should explain what it is and why/how to use it

There's a bug in the HPFS boot code in Warp 3 that means it cannot handle
booting from a partition outside the first 2GB of the disk. Get
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/patches/warp_3/gt2gbw3.zip and use
that to get going again.

Subj: CD Won't Access 

From: Jeff Welton <j.welton@mailcity.com>

I've never had problems with my Cd before but last
night I to reinstall some software and stuck a CD
in, opened the drive icon and clicked on the "H"
drive, which is where the CD is located.  I got the
following response:

"The drive or diskette is not formatted correctly."

So I tried another CD thinking maybe the CD was bad
but I got the same error.  I tried accesing the disk from
the OS/2 command line and received:

[H:\]dir

Volume in drive H has no label.
The Volume Serial Number is 534E:4A52.
Directory of H:\

SYS0026: The specified disk or diskette cannot be accessed.

[G:\]help sys0026

HELP cannot read message file OSO001H.MSG.  Another
process may be using the message file or the message file is
incorrect.  Wait for the other process to finish or reinstall
the message file.  Retry the command.

So I rebooted thinking maybe that would fix it but
still the same thing.

Then I tried putting in a music CD and using my CD
player and it worked!  Sot the CD does work but
something is wrong in Denmark.  My config.sys statement
is: DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q

It is a Mitsubishi CD Rom and it came with my 
machine.  It has always worked before.   Does 
anyone have any idea why I can no longer read 
a normal CD disk even though I can play CD music?
I mean the CD ROM will read/play CD music disks 
but it won't read anything else.

Another clue:  I booted up using the original config.sys
(at the white OS/2 block I did an Alt F1 and had the
machine use the original config.sys).  From there I was
able to access the H drive (CDRom) and can copy the
data from the CD Disk over to hard drive directory but
that's a long way around to get at the data.  I'm stumped.

I am using Warp 4 with Fix Pack 11.  Thank you.

Jeff

OS/2 will not install or boot from beyond the first 2 gigs. I don't know
if its an OS/2 or BIOS limit or what, but it doesn't work.

You will have to reduce the NT partition and get Warp into that first 2
gigs. This would only mean chopping about 300-400 megs out of NT,
depending on what you install and other personal preferences, and then
setting up another extended drive for OS/2 programs and apps.

FWIW, I have learned over the years to put OS/2 on a partition all its
own, and everything else on a data partition. This allows deleting and
reinstalling it without touching anything I have added. I use Robosave and
if I have to wipe the OS off, I just re-install and robosave will put back
all the hooks and links so my desktop comes back all connected to my apps.
Very handy, especially when helping someone else install Warp. NT? I have
never found a way to reinstall it and get back the connections to the
apps.

There are several drivers involved in allowing you access to a CD. If this
is an IDE attached drive then the full list is

basedev=ibm1s506.add
basedev=ibmidecd.flt
device=x:\os2\mdos\vcdrom.sys 
device=x:\os2\boot\os2cdrom.dmd /q
ifs=x:\os2\boot\cdfs.ifs /q

It sounds to me like you've lost the IFS statement. This would leave the
drive visible but containing an unrecognised file system...

Subj: Win OS2 won't install printer driver!!

From: rsmits@curmudgeon.bc.ca

Hi.

I have a number of programs installed under Winos2 and recently tried to
install a win3.1 printer driver for my Canon BJC-4100 printer.

When I do this, it claims I can't install the driver because WINOS2 is
still using it, even though going tothe winos2 printer driver window shows
no drivers installed. 

Can anyone suggest how to rectify this?

I've looked in win.ini and system.ini and don't find any references to my
os2 driver.

I'm not sure if it makes any difference, but under OS/2 I have both the
omni and Canon OS/2 drivers installed and working normally. 

I'd really rather not have to reinstall my WINOS2 stuff, since I have just
got my UMAX scanner working under WINOS2.

Bob.

I've liked ibm.net too, and could not have carried that

	Hmmm, never encountered this problem before.  Did you download 
the latest driver from Canon?  The latest is v3.96, http://www.ccsi.canon.com

	All you have to do is go into Win-OS/2's Control Panel, then 
Printers, and from there add the printer (install updated/unlisted 
printer) and point it towards the X:\BLAH\DISK1\ directory.

I am using that MB. Love it, but its old and I asked ASUS what the fastest
CPU was that would run in it and they said a standard Pentium at 233Mhz. I
am running a P133 @ 200Mhz and wouldn't mind a little boost.

If you have a K6-2/300Mhz running, I guess I should give it a try. Any
heat problems. Anything else you might add that I should know about? I

-Try installing again.

-Copy the new IDEDASD driver to x:\os2\boot

Good luck.

p.s. Keep trying; OS/2 is worth it. You would do better to get Warp

You are correct that it includes other updates and can be directly

It's only US$15 the first time. All times after that it is

No. I have installed the latest Canon OS/2 driver on the desktop, and that
works fine, but I just can't get any win 3.1 driver to install at all.
Everything goes fine until I double click on the selected driver, an then
it tells me it can't install because the selected driver is already in
use!!!!!!

It can't be because it's not installed!

I'm using FP 11, BTW.

From: bhk@dsl.co.uk (Brian {Hamilton Kelly})

A potential supplier from whom I requested a quote has usggested the
supply of an Arowana 56k V.90 internal modem.  Now my request stated
clearly that "WindModems" would not be acceptable, because I use OS/2.

Does anyone have any knoweldge of what this modem can do?  Does it really
work OK with OS/2, or is it an accursed WinModem?  The price is only
GBP23+vat, which seems suspiciously low.

All the BJC 4000 series use the same driver.  It went in some time ago
here and I do not recall that it complained.  Canon says it wont work in
WinOs2 but that is not true.  It will only give you a crash on your exit
from a full screen session.  The secret is to close the session from the
window list.

Subj: Happy trap day - all hardware related.

From: mchasson@ibm.net

Perhaps someone can explain why OS2 gives you an error message when
producing a trap screen that has nothing to do with the problem.  I
noticed some problems with my CDrom drive earlier this week when I tried,
for the first time ever honest, to play a cd audio disk.  The drive went
berserk and would not stop flashing its light at me, and of course Warp4
went trap 3 or 4.  Well I guessed the two were related so I unplugged the
ide cable from the drive and rebooted.  Things went well for a few days. 
I plugged the cable back in figuring that the software had bolloxed the
drive.  Then friday night I am trapping again.  The error messages from
Alt F2 are not the same as the ones that appear during a standard boot, 
but they all complain that I have a dll that cant be found for the
Protshell statement.  So I open the box today and poke around and I am
still trapping fairly consistently getting trap 6 after the Alt F2 boot. 
THe file at fault is said to be vdostcp.vdd.  Using the utility disks I
checkdisk/f and look over the files and they seem ok.   I figure it is
hardware.  Someone once posted that the low number traps were that so I
decide to go back and unplug thre CDRom again.  Only this time I discover
that I was too quick to put it back and that the cable was pinched between
the CDRom and the HD under it.  

Out it comes.  I pull it off the drive and trap again.  So I assume the
cable is buggered up and pull it out altogether.  Fine I get a desktop. 
Mind you all this time I have been considering a total restore from tape.

I shutdown poke around a little with the sound card and reboot and sure
enough I now get a trapE.  Big numbers mean memory dont they?   I poke
around some more only this time on the memory and sure enough one piece is
loose in the socket.  I think all the banging just did it.  

You know the memory checked out fine on the boot, but reseating the chips
firmly fixed the machine...for now.

It would be nice if there was a diagnostic that could find this stuff with
less agravation and loss of use.

Subj: Hang on PCIBUS.SNP with Presario 5526

From: lsunley@mb.sympatico.ca (Lorne Sunley)

I was playing around with a Compaq Presario model 5526 yesterday.
This is one of the "All-in-One" Compaq boxes that is a single
unit, CPU and Monitor in one box. I was trying to upgrade
the OS from DOS/WIN to either OS/2 and/or Win/98.

When I booted the machine from the Warp 4 vanilla
installation floppys the machine hung with PCIBUS.SNP
(I had used ALT-F2 so I could watch the driver load).

I replaced the PCIBUS.SNP with the later version
dated 7-12-99 that exists on my usual workstation
(from a recent fixpack I believe) and still had the
same problem.

This machine claims to have a PCI bus, although there
are no PCI slots, I assume they use the PCI bridge for 
the built in IDE and floppy controllers.

Has anyone out there ever tried to install OS/2 Warp 4 on
one of these machines (Compaq Presario 5526) and had
it succeed?

I also tried the WSeB boot diskettes, they hung on
SCREEN01.SYS (which is loaded before PCIBUS.SNP).

Thanks for any help

Don't know about others, but recently for me dejanews has become
totally useless.  Two thousand three hundred advertisements per
search result, layered fifteen deep. A well-organized site of archived
answers to OS/2 problems would be very appreciated here. Hobbes
would be an ideal place, but they probably have plenty to do already.

    Does the 690 do duplexing?
    If it does, go into the printer driver properties notebook and find
the page that lists the printer options. Enable the duplex option.

I think a good example of what he is talking about is the recent 
Imation IDE SuperDisk discussion.  It came down to having both 
IBM1S506.ADD and IBMATAPI.FLT installed as BASEDEV, along with the 
latest IDEDASD.

This would be a good tip to send their way.

To: "Carl L. D." <@pss.boeing.com>
From: Ray <raymond.heath@pss.boeing.com>

Carl,
you have the same problem I had when I tried to install on my 4G HD. My
problem was that I had the HD partitioned into 4 logical drives and the
the CD-ROM as the thext physical drive. This is all well and fine for
BIOS and DOS, and even OS/2 in the command line mode, but the install
subroutines expect to see the CD-ROM as drive D. I had to go out and
hide all the partitions on my HD so that only C showed and the next
drive was D (CD-ROM). What a hassle, but OS/2 was worth it. I then unhid
everything after it was up and running. When OS/2 is installed and
running, it will fine your drives wherever BIOS says they're at.

Subj: Bizarre Printing Problem

From: jdb@juliand.com (Julian Dominic)

Basically I cannot print in Windows 98.  The attempt to print the test
page and anything else returns a message that the printer is out of
paper.  Of course it is not.  I spent two hours on the phone with MS
support and got nowhere.   I talked to the printer vendor, Lexmark 4039,
and made some head way.  It turns out that even if I boot from a DOS
5.02 diskette, I cannot print. A command such as "dir > lpt1" results in
a Write Failure, Abort, Ignore, Retry, Fail. Fail returns a message that
there was a failure on INT 24.  I've tried swapping printer cables to no
avail.

Now the interesting twist is that I can boot into OS/2 on this machine.
In OS/2 everything prints fine.  I know that OS/2 is not a DOS based
system.  Is there something OS/2 can do that DOS/Windows 98 can't?

Before I open up my machine to look at the parallel port, I'm wondering
if anyone has had a similar experience or can suggest something less
invasive than checking the parallel connection to the system board or
some definitive diagnostic.

Thank you,

Julian Dominic

Another point would be with regards to problems, you've solved on your own 
without the need to use the newsgroup. Eg. workarounds to known bugs etc. If
I'm
not wrong, most people here have used OS/2 for a long time. So a lot of little 

quirks are usually solved by users themselves. It could save time though for 
others to post them.

Also a tip site is a lot easier to search/follow then a long discussion like
the
one above.

Here's another example:

Lotus 123 has a tendency to stuff up with certain display drivers when
loading. 
If you move a Window, the desktop doesn't get refreshed and the input queue 
seems almost frozen. Closing it still leaves a ghost version still showing. A 
desktop reset for example with resetwps does not fix the problem as the
desktop 
doesn't reload. 

Howerver a process killer like Top will cleanly kill it. This saves the
trouble 
of a reboot.

Subj: OS/2 networking setup question.

From: "Mr. Wonderful" <jpsnyder@mindspring.com>

I am very new to OS/2. Have been running it for about 4 days now. I have at
least one question
someone out there might be able to help me with. I have it installed on my IBM 
ThinkPad, and am
trying to get it to connect to my home network which is using Win98SE. Is
there a way to have them
see each other over the network? I have the network card setup in OS/2
properly according to the
directions which came with the NIC. I have IBM TCP/IP, and IBM NetBIOS
installed for protocols.
Not sure how to set them up though. I have set the IP address to 192.168.0.5,
which is the next in line
on my home network. Is there anything I am missing, or do I need some other
software to do this, or is
it not possible?

Also, are there any kinds of screensavers for it other than the Lock Out
feature? Being it is on a laptop,
I don't want it to burn into the LCD.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TIA!!!!!!

Jim

OS/2, unless you ask it to, does not pay any attention to the IRQ
for the printer port. The default is to use "polling" to send the
data off to the printer. If the "print01.sys" driver has the /IRQ
switch set in the config.sys file it will use the IRQ for sending data
of through the printer port.

Perhaps the IRQ line for the port is not working, or it is set to some
odd value that is confusing Win/98 (or it thinks the irq is set
to something that it is not set to). Of course this should not
affect DOS as it usually does not pay any attention to the
IRQ either......

Given that OS/2 can print and everything works there is
not likely to be a hardware problem. Check the BIOS
settings for the port and make sure it is set to a simple
parallel port setting IO=378 IRQ=7 (or not IRQ) and try
it that way. (given that this is a motherboard LPT port).

Julian, I don't know if this applies to your particular situation, but
please note that the Knowledge Base has 108 separate articles on issues
involving Lexmark hardware. This dates all the way back to Win 3.x, and
there have been articles on this for every version of Windows ever released.
It isn't a name that floats to the top very often, but when it does it is
usually with a doozy of a problem! -- like yours.

The 4039 is mentioned in 8 of these articles.

BTW, considering that IBM is the manufacturer, it isn't surprising to me
that OS/2  takes very naturally to them. :-)

Back to the KB articles. One that might be useful to you, even though it
applies to Windows for Workgroups, is
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q100/6/56.asp
It includes this text: "The Lexmark IBM 4039 line of printers ship with an
accelerated printer driver (a PCL 5 driver specific to the 4039 printers)
and a PostScript driver. To use the accelerated driver to print to a Lexmark
IBM 4039 printer over a Windows for Workgroups network, you must disable the
Fast Printing Direct To Port option on the client machine." Instructions are
given for doing this, that may or may not still be relevant in Win98.

The Printers.txt file that comes with Windows 98 says: "Some early versions
of MarkVision and the Lexmark
Custom Printer drivers are incompatible with Windows 98. To avoid a problem
with your system, Windows 98 disables these components when you upgrade from
Windows 95 if you currently have LEXBCE version 1.03 or earlier. If you have
a version later than LEXBCE 1.03, Lexmark software works correctly on
Windows 98. To determine which version of LEXBCE you have, use Windows
Explorer. Go to your \Windows\System subdirectory. Right-click LEXBCE.DLL,
and then click Properties. Click the Version tab, and then locate the File
version information. You can obtain a newer version of the software from the
Lexmark Technical Support Center or on the World Wide Web at
http://www.lexmark.com."

As I spot-check others of these 100+ articles, the vast majority deal with
driver issues. This isn't surprising. It might be a general clue for you.
(It was the first thing to cross my mind when I read your question.)

Good luck.

You don't need IBM netbios, you need 'IBM OS/2 Netbios over TCP/IP'.
On the Windoze machine, get into the network settings, me thinks in the
peer-to-peer settings (protocol-tab,
netbeui-properties): find LMannounce and put it to ON (thanx Micro$oft !
Deliberately disabling OS/2,
brilliant !). OS/2 is the only OS which needs this to be on for peer2peer
networking.

Check out:
http://www.mit.edu/activities/os2/peer/WARPPEER.HTM
http://www.flash.net/~roknrob/sea.htm
Be warned: they go through great trouble to set up both 'IBM Netbios' & 'IBM
OS/2 Netbios-over-TCPIP', you
only need one Netbios protocol though !
Unless you insist on having an OS/2 client on your network which only uses
'IBM Netbios'.
Also get the latest fixpacks (well, and read the newsgroups !):

Check out page 1 of 3 of the Lockup settings (just right-click on your
desktop-background, go for properties,
and voila: it's the first page)
Down the bottom it says 'auto-dim': enable it !
Also investigate page 2 and 3 of the lockup settings (use the little '+' right 
next to the page information).
{it took me about a year before I realized there was a page x of x, I was just 
using the tabs, staring at
every first page, ignoring the other pages}.
If that doesn't cut it: there are screensavers around (I don't use any):

Subj: printing through SCSI port

From: Wim Wauters <w.h.m.wauters.1998@cranfield.ac.uk>

I hope you can help !

I got this trusty Apple LaserWriter. It works fine on this Apple IIcx I
got with it.
The Apple IIcx computer did not come with a network card though ! So I
want to run the printer on a x86 system and share it on the network that
way.
The printer is SCSI and likes my SCSI controllers.
The printer shows up in the hardware manager.
I can install the postcript driver for it.

But... how do I enable a SCSI device or port in the port settings ??
I have LPT 1 to 3 and COM 1 to 4.
I can redirect any LPt port to any COM port (cool!).

Do I...
need a SCSI printer-port driver ?
a special SCSI card which mimics an LPT port ?
some nifty program that allows me to send PS files to a SCSI-device ?

Help appreciated !
(even for Linux or Windoze platforms: same problem there ! )

OS/2 forever !

upgraded, I uninstalled the old version.

But the new one will not load, I always get a 3175 crash when Netfbase

Can anyone shed any light on how to get this running.   Thanks!

Subj: Backups and Warp3 directory/file order?

From: cq849@torfree.net (Terry Kot)

Hello OS2 fans.

I'm a new OS/2'er and have a question about backups and OS/2's
directory/file order/structure on a FAT partition.

Does OS/2 Warp3 have a certain directory/file 'order' and can I
re-arrange (modify) the directory & file order without any changes to
OS/2 somewhere?  (files are still inside their proper directories of
course, with the only difference being that they're sorted)

Every time I try copying OS/2's files & directories to another
partition and then re-copying the re-arranged OS/2 directory/file
order on a clean, formatted partition with an OS/2 file manager
(FileJet V7.41), ... I can boot up OS/2 with no error messages, BUT
then, the Desktop objects are gone and its background color is
different, only the folder icons remain along with a few 'extra' ones,
and the shutdown button doesn't respond. All of Warps files are
present with the only exception being the pesky EA DATA file ... which
gets created new durring the re-copy step anyway. The FileJet program
I'm using to do the copying is EA aware as I can see frequent 'EA'
related messages flash by durring file copying.

The only way, so far, that I can make Warp3 accept the new directory/
file order is to create new OS2*.INI files with the MAKEINI pgm. But
this only produces a basic desktop with only the Template folder
object a couple others.

Is there a another way to make Warp3 accept the modified directory/
file order AND produce the *same* desktop I had immediately before???

PS ... thanks to everyone here who's previously helped me in the
recent past. Much appreciated. <g>

Subj: Trouble installing second HD

From: "Jeff Malka" <malkajef@orthohelp.com>

I am having trouble installing a second HD on my Pentium system with "Plug
and Play" and would appreciate some help.

This PC came pre-installed with an IDE HD and a CR-Rom.  Both are attached
to the primary connector.  I believe I read somewhere that it is a better
idea to put the CD-Rom not on the same cable as the HD but that is the way
it came pre-installed and for now I am reluctant to change things so as not
mess things up.

I have an old extra IDE HD lying around and decided to add it as a second
HD.  It is a 2 Gig Western Digital CAVIAR 2420 IDE drive.  It's parameters
are 989 cyl, 15 heads, 56 spt, 425.3 MB.

I installed it on a SEPARATE cable connector to the secondary attachment on
the controller board and set the CMOS for AUTO detect.  Here is the problem:

A. If I set its switch as "MASTER" the HD is not recognized by either the
CMOS and Win95 and Warp3 do not find it.

B. If I set its switch as "SLAVE" the HD is NOT recognized by the CMOS ---
BUT -- Win95 finds it and allows me access to all its partitions and files
but WARP 3 does not find it!!

Although the HD is functional when in "B" it is annoying that the CMOS does
not recognize it.  Here is what happens during bootup:
  The CMOS finds the secondary slave HD and identifies it as "WDC AC2420H".
It then goes to a loo-ong period and comes up with the message "SECONDARY
SLAVE HARD DRIVE FAIL" and asks me if I wish to press F1 to continue.  When
I press F1, things continue normally, Win95 boots up and the partitions on
the new HD are there and accessible but NOT to WARP.

How can I make the CMOS correctly recognize the new HD so I do not have to
go through the wait period and press F1 on bootup and how do I get Warp to
recognize the new HD?

Thanks.

Well sort of...

I have a Latitude CPi 233Mhz with the TI 13 (something) chipset. The newish
PCMCIA socket service drivers work OK in that they recognise the socket and
my modem PCMCIA card. I just can't get the auto configure script to assign
resources to my modem so it turns out it's no use. You can get the Latitude
drivers off of IBM's device driver site, just follow the links from PCMCIA
socket services (as I remember). Maybe it'll work for other PCMCIA cards?

Subj: No sound theme in OS2.V4

From: huekf@my-deja.com

Hi! After much trying, I have finally enable sound from Aztech s/card.
but I still cannot enabled any sound in the sound theme, such as the
Closing Win-os,reminders,exclamations & etcs.

However I can listens to cd music from the cd-player in OS2 accessories
and that is all the sound that I can have.I have tried the movies-macaws
(parrots-video clips) but there was no sound except video's.

what must I do to enabled sound in all of the OS2.V4?

(Mine is Aztech AZ2316R but is running as sound Galazy 32wavetable in
OS2 V4)

Can anyone help,

thks.

Subj: Re: No sound theme in OS2.V4

From: Julian Dominic <jdb@juliand.com>

There are two steps to enabling sound now that you have the card working.
Open the System Setup folder.  Select the Sound Icon.  This will open the
system sound properties.  On the sound tab make sure the Enable Sounds box
is checked.  Next, make sure each of the systems events has a sound
associated with it.  All the scheme tab does is give you a palette of sounds
to associate with system events.

Good luck,  this worked for me.

I have the si,plest $10 non PnP 2nd (LPT2: port)  cards in both Warp 3 Connect
and Warp 4, and no problems (also Warp 3 automatically detects this in RMVIEW)
but you have to assign different I/O adressses (usually 378 for LPT1: and 278 
for LPT2:) You do not need generally an additional interrupt, OS/2 can do 
without a printer interrupt in most cases. I also have LPT3, which is assigned
to Faxprint.

Hello all, 

perhaps someone can help me with this problem.  I have Warp 3 on disks and I
want to copy them to my hard drive so I can then install OS/2.  Installing
from
the disks has worked fine, but to save time and ware and tear on my disks,  I
would rather install Warp 3 from the hard drive.  Is this workable, and if so,
will someone please tell me a step by step procedure to do this?  

Thank you for your assistance.

Subj: (1/2) Backup & Defragmentation 3.1 (Sept. 7, 1999)

From: jdc0014@InfoNET.st-johns.nf.ca (John Hong)

                  Backup & Defragmentation 3.1

     This is just a little primer drawn up in order to help OS/2
users to use common compression utilities such as PkZip for
backing up their OS/2 drives.
     Another use for this is also to fight against fragmentation.
OS/2's HPFS file system does not fragment like the way FAT drives
do, but it does become susceptible to it when the drive is almost
full.  So, the best remedy is to backup the data, format the
partition, then unarchive the backup back to the original
partition and you are back in business.
     Prior to doing this, be sure to create boot disks in order
to compress/uncompress the backup files.  You can use either the
Create Utility Diskettes option in OS/2's System Folder or (a
better option) use BootOS/2 in order to make them.  BootOS/2 in
particular is more advantageous since it would only need two 3.5"
1.44 MB diskettes over the three needed by OS/2 Warp 3 & Connect
and the four for OS/2 Warp 4.  Plus, one can also use LxLite
compression with BootOS/2 in order to save that little extra bit
of disk space necessary.  As well, you can probably use it for an
LS-120 or ZIP disk whereas the Utility Diskettes option would not
support it.  BootOS/2 can be found at the Hobbes OS/2 Archive
(http://hobbes.nmsu.edu).  LxLite can be found at LEO
(http://www.leo.org).
     EXTRA: It is a good idea to make your backups booting
through your bootdisks since there maybe locked files that won't
be compressed.  Locked files are files that are currently in use
by OS/2 and will not allow any kind of manipulation from the user
to take place.
     EXTRA EXTRA: Before making a backup, it maybe a good idea to
run CHKDSK from the bootable floppies first.  Another thing, make
sure you run CHKDSK (CHKDSK X: /F:2) twice in a row.  I picked up
this little tidbit from the "OS/2 Warp Unleashed" book by SAMS
Publishing (fine book, BTW).  It is found in Chapter 18, dealing
with troubleshooting on page 941:

     "Note that if you running HPFS, then you should
     periodically run CHKDSK C: /F:2 twice.  The first pass
     checks and cleans the primary HPFS structures, and the
     second pass checks and clears the secondary HPFS
     structures."

     BTW: When I say it was tested personally under an OS/2
system, it means that I had tested it under a bootable OS/2
partition and not just a partition with data on it.

     Updates:

     * Warp for e-Business
     * Windows 95 - FAT32

     To Do List:

     * Testing ARJ/2 2.6x once it gets out of beta
     


      *NEW*UPDATE* Warp for e-Business *UPDATE*NEW*

     Okay, now that you've seent this, I have read of a user
on Usenet trying to use RAR/2 2.50 in order to backup their
Warp for e-Business partition.  It didn't work, apparently
the EA's were trashed.  Possibly this may have something to
do with the new LVM and JFS.  I don't know since I do not have
Warp for e-Business, and thus have no way of verifying.  So at
this point in time it is best not to try using any of these
methods for backing up Warp for e-Business.

Disk Spanning: Ability to support multiple archives.  Basically
     once the disk or cartridge is full, it can ask the user to
     insert another disk or cartridge in order for it continue. 
     A Yes is good.
Requires PM: Does the compression program require the PM,
     Presentation Manager.  This is OS/2's GUI.  A no is a good
     answer since it would be impossible to boot OS/2 up with
     regular floppies with the PM (unless it was a ZIP/LS-120
     booting with A: drive).
Recovery: Ability to recover/fix a corrupt archive, ie. PkZipFix.
     A yes here is a good answer.  If the file is corrupt you can
     at least salvage something from it.
EA's: Ability to save OS/2's Extended Attributes.  A yes here is
     a must for OS/2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------


Info-Zip for OS/2 (v2.22)
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/

     Works very well under OS/2.  Use the following switches:

zip -rS$ (destination/name of backup) *

example:

zip -rS$ F:\BACKUP.ZIP *

     Stick unzip.exe onto your OS/2 bootdisks, to restore the
drive simply:

unzip (name of backup)

example:

C: (being where I want it unzipped)
unzip F:\BACKUP.ZIP

     Info-Zip is fine if you are just going to back it up to
another partition or have a removable media drive large enough to
fit it.  Currently, Info-Zip is not able to handle disk spanning.
It is a future feature to be added according to their home
webpage when 3.0 comes out.

Personally tested under a Warp 4 system (no FP's).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

PkZip for OS/2 (v2.50)
http://www.pkware.com

     Another that works well under OS/2.  Perhaps a little better
than Info-Zip since PkZip does handle disk spanning.  Use the
following switch:

pkzip /add /attr=all /dir=full /rec /volume=(drive letter)
     (destination/name of backup) *

example:

pkzip /add /attr=all /dir=full /rec /volume=C F:\BACKUP.ZIP *

     To enable disk spanning, add the /span switch before the
/volume one.
     Take note, use pkzip.exe, do not use pkzip2.cmd or else it
will simply fail and just zip up the volume label in a file
called "all.zip".

     Now to uncompress the archive, simply go:

pkzip /attr=all /dir=full /extract /mask=none /rec /volume=C
     (destination/name of backup)

example:

pkzip /attr=all /dir=full /extract /mask=none /rec /volume=C 
F:\BACKUP.ZIP C:

Personally tested under a Warp 4 system (no FP's).

     Extra Note: Apparently the geniuses at PkWare designed PkZip
for OS/2 needing the Presentation Manager.  So, using the boot
disks from the Create Utility Disks function will not work.  The
only way for BootOS/2 to get this to work is with the TYPE=PM
option.  This of course will require a bootable device large
enough to handle the extra data.  So really you are going to need
a bootable ZIP or LS-120 device in order to get this working. 
With that said, you can use unzip.exe in order to uncompress the
pkzipped files.  But, that has a problem too.  Currently UnZip
5.40 will not be able to unzip multiple archives (like Zip 2.22).
This is slated for the next major release (UnZip 6.00).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

RAR for OS/2 (v2.50)
http://www.rarsoft.com

     Easiest one to use due to its Norton Commander-like
interface.  Go into RAR's configuration (press F9, it is the
first item on the menu) and make sure the following are checked
on:

     X - Always Solid Archiving
     X - Put Recovery Record

     X - Read Only
     X - Hidden
     X - System
     X - Archive

     X - Save extended attributes

     It could also be a good idea to check on multimedia
compression in order to get better compression.  The rest is
merely of choice, especially the compression (six methods to
choose) whether to be for the best compression (slowest) or no
compression at all in simply storing the files (fastest).
     In order to backup your OS/2 drive, simply hit the "+" key
and push enter in order to highlight all the directories (or
select whichever one's you intend to backup).  Push F5 in order
to compress onto a disk/cart and use Autodetect method in order
to ensure spanning across disks/carts (or you can specify exactly
what size you want).  Very easy.

     Take Note: Do not use "UNRAR.EXE" to restore! 
     Otherwise you will get a "Desktop can not be found in
     OS2.INI file, attempting to create Temporary Desktop"
     error message, where the Temperary Desktop will also
     fail, leaving you sitting at the PM with one OS/2
     Window session.

     In order to restore, place RAR.EXE onto the OS/2 bootable
diskettes.  Start RAR.EXE up, now go to wherever you have the
file backed up to, enter it, this will allow you view the files
that are compressed inside the archived file.  Once that is done,
hit the "+" key and press enter in order to highlight all the
files.  Now, press ALT-F4 in order to restore by choosing the
destination.  Simply put in "C:" or wherever your original boot
partition was.  Once all of it extracted, there you go.  I think
we have a winner.

Personally tested under a Warp 4 system (no FP's) and a Warp 3
system (FP40 applied).


-----------------------------------------------------------------

ARJ/2 (v2.62)
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu

     I confess that I have not yet tested ARJ/2, but I wouldn't
recommend using it just yet since it is still in a beta stage,
and does not save EA's.  But you could use EAUTIL in order to do
this for you, but that is a bit of a chore especially since the
other compression utilities here can do this automatically.  So
what would be the point?
     To enable disk spanning for ARJ/2, use:

arj a -vxxxx

     xxxx = denotes the specific size you want it to be

-----------------------------------------------------------------

     Note: I only intend to write about currently supported
     compression utilities.  In otherwords, LHA and ZOO for
     instance I simply will ignore.  Neither one has been
     updated since 1989-1993, and are relatively old and
     obsolete given the others listed here.


Windows 95 - FAT32 (http://www.microsoft.com) - *NEW*

     So, you want to just dump OS/2 forever and head off into
merry merry Windows 95 land?  Well, I have not had the
opportunity to try this using Windows 95 on a VFAT partition,
but under FAT32, there is simply no way you can backup a
Windows 95 partition using stuff like PkZip for Windows or
WinRAR.  The problem is that there are certain locked files
at play.  PkZip for Windows did complete, but now you have the
even bigger problem of trying to restore it from a bootdisk.
Won't happen, I'm afraid.  When I tried this booting off of a
Windows 95 boot disk, running PkZip 2.50's PkUnZip utility, it
would not work because it complained of a lack of memory
(apparently the FAT32 support on the bootdisk takes up a lot
of memory as I'm always stuck with 542k conventional RAM).
The last hope was RAR for DOS, but that too also complained of
a lack of memory.  So, what's the point of using a Windows
compression utility in order to backup the entire Windows 95
partition if there is absolutely *NO* way of restoring it?
     Now, where exactly am I going with all this?  Simple,
thanks to the great FAT32 driver written by Henk Kelder, one
can actually follow the exact methods listed here with the
various compression utilities in order for OS/2 to backup
Windows 95 through OS/2!  Using RAR/2 in the identical manner
listed earlier will allow you to backup a Windows 95 partition.
Once backed up, you can boot up with the Windows 95 bootdisk
and then format the partition, re-boot back into OS/2 and use
RAR/2 in order to restore the Windows 95 partition back to
its previous state.  Now when you look at the disk with Norton
Speedisk or booting Windows 95 up with a bootdisk in order to
use ScanDisk (to see the entire disk information) you will see
all the clusters neatly arranged in perfect order.  No
fragmentation!  The advantage to using this method over using
programs like Microsoft Defrag or Norton Speedisk is that they
are not always perfect and can in fact at some times break
files.  My motivation in going to all of this trouble was
because after using Defrag, I found that one of my .WAV files
in my Multimedia Themes was broken and could not be accessible.
Imagine what else could break.
     I have not tried using Info-ZIP or PkZip for OS/2, but
I figure they would work with the same restrictions applied
(ie. Info-Zip no disk spanning, PkZip needing the Presentation
Manager).  In order to install Henk's FAT32 driver, I simply
followed the quicky instructions he had listed in the FAT32.TXT
file, using PARTFLT.FLT and not the OS2DASD.DMD file he had
modifyed (on my OS/2 box it trapped as a result).  On the
IFS=FAT32 line I did not have /EAS on (enabling Extended
Attribute support).
     So, do you *really* want to dump OS/2?  Didn't think
so.  A question...could this method work with Linux?  There
is a ext2 driver available for OS/2, that I know of.  Perhaps
that is something else for me to try and play with! ;-)


CONCLUSION

     The best compression program for backing up OS/2 with is
RAR/2, hands down.  Not only does it support disk spanning,
EA's, doesn't require the Presentation Manager, and can recover
from corrupt archives, but it is also easy to use due to the
text-based Norton Commander-like interface, so no messy command
line switches to are necessary.  A great piece of work, indeed! 
Capable of backing up OS/2 onto another partition or onto
multiple disks/cartridges making it right now, the emergency
disaster recovery solution of choice out of the current crop of
common compression utilities.
     There are a few more coming, the next major release of
Info-Zip (Zip 3.00 & UnZip 6.00) are being planned to support
multiple archives.  ARJ/2 2.6x, currently in beta, is another
possible choice to look at since it doesn't need the PM and
supports disk spanning and recovery from corrupt archives.


BOOTOS/2 Notes:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu - latest version is 9.17

     There seems to be a problem with Warp Connect & FP39 when
trying to make a BootOS/2 TARGET=x TYPE=PM partition.  It creates
it fine, but when I boot it up, it freezes at the "OS/2" box that
appears on the top left-hand corner.  Weird.  I could not boot
to a PM partition (BOOTOS2 TARGET=x TYPE=PM) even when I was back
down in FP26!  Same symptom occurs, during bootup it just freezes
at the "OS/2" box on the top left-hand corner.  The samething
also occurs in FP40, BTW.
     Even making just the floppies seems to cause a small error

with Warp 3 & Connect.  Under FP40, for instance, upon making the
two disk system (BOOTOS2 2DISK=A) after loading up the first disk
it would give me a blank screen and stop dead in its tracks,
going no further.  The solution, copy SESMGR.DLL from your
x:\OS2\DLL onto your BOOTOS2 disk 1 (A:\OS2\DLL).  This also
happened under FP39, BTW.  If you do run into any other kind of
problem with the BOOTOS2 floppies, press ALT-F2 upon booting up
the diskettes just to see what happens.  On this occasion for
example, upon pressing ALT-F2, the screen said that SESMGR.DLL
was not installed in any of the LIBPATH directory statements on
the diskette.
     Warp 4 seems to have absolutely no issues whatsoever, either
a TYPE=PM or 2DISK=A under any of the FP's I have used (FP1, FP6,
& FP10).

Actually we do point to the IBM alphaWorks site at the
url above and do not merge, distribute or sublicense
the software individually per IBM's request.  I respond
to so many requests for information that I sometimes
forget there are folks outside of Warp City.  Offering
the url above was an error.  The direct url would be:

http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/irc

A new release should be forthcoming soon.  The
present release is due to expire on September 30.

I'm sorry.  I think I deleted the paragraph I had that information in

The latter.  It is my understanding that the powers that be understand
the current server (and any "mirror" we set up) simply isn't up to the
typical loads being forced on them and they are seeking an alternative
for the jobs.  That, however, is many months down the road, and I'll
probably not have anything to do with that.  But for now, it's MY job
to keep the damn thing running.  I didn't know anything about OS/2 two
weeks ago, let alone high speed printing and PSF/2.

Just to let you know, turns out the problem was actually just the GUI
on the desktop.  When you went into the command window, it would show
the right sizes for the drives.  Once we successfully installed fixpack
10, the desktop showed the correct drive sizes. :)  Another problem was
that the D: and E: drives hadn't actually been formatted yet (duh, it
makes a difference!).  Just to make sure everything was nice and clean,
we just did a low level format on everything, repartitioned with os/2's
fdisk, and reinstalled OS/2.  Then I formatted the other two drives,
then installed fixpack10 (using the starting disk for 141 instead of
140) and it went very smoothly.  It reports the correct sizes and
appears to be working.

Now I just need to get DB2 and PSF/2 installed. :)

*grin*  I tried (BTW, "they"=Mike my coworker who is pounding on this

is not very good about detailing what he does.  However, it's not so
important because I've done it all myself at this point.  *ponders the
advisability of letting Mike install DB2*  Though, it's not really my
choice.  I'm low person on the totem pole.  I've only been here a
couple of weeks.

Well, I need to be able to document what I've done, and probably
provide reasons for the choices I've made along the way.  But as long
as I get it up and running, they'll be happy.

Subj: Great Color Printer for OS/2 Warp

From: Timothy Sipples <tsipple@us.iNoSPAMbm.com>

[Note that I have no affiliation with Lexmark or BUY.COM.]

Now's a great time to take advantage of some widely available discounts on a
special Lexmark color ink jet printer, the Lexmark Optra 40 Color printer.

What's so special about this ink jet printer?  It has built-in Postscript
Level 2 capability (along with PCL 5c).  Postscript is generally regarded as
the best color print technology for OS/2 Warp (and, for that matter, other
operating systems).

Networking options are available for this printer as well, making it an
excellent choice for a growing home or office LAN.

Many vendors have this printer available at deep discount right now,
including BUY.COM (see
http://www.buy.com/surplus/product.asp?sku=70000013).  Pricing is under 220
USD.

For more information on the Optra 40, including an official statement of
vendor support for OS/2 Warp, please visit Lexmark's web site at:

Subj: PCMCIA on a Dell Latitude CPi D233ST Laptop

From: Randy Petersen <rpeterse@ix.netcom.com>

I'd like to add some URGENCY to this message!

Within 1 month I'll have to give up my desktop system at work which is 
currently running Warp 3 Connect @ FP26.  This has been my system since 
OS/2 v2.1 was released.  I will either have to migrate all my stuff over 
to the Dell Laptop on Warp 4, or I will have to succumb to the Corporate 
STD-WIN '98.  To migate from Warp Connect on the desktop to Warp 4 on the 
laptop, I MUST get PCMCIA Card & Socket services working to allow me to 
use the PCMCIA ethernet and PCMCIA modem cards.

PCMCIA CARDS:
   1) Linksys Combo (not really) PCMCIA Ethernet Card (Model: EC2T)
   2) 3Com Megahertz 56K Global Modem PC Card (Model: 3CCM156)
   3) Adaptec SlimSCSI APA-1460A (Part#:997400)

 What is the name/date/size/version of your Card & Socket services drivers?
 What's the magic incantation you use?  Do you use reserve.sys? and if so,
what?


The laptop in question uses the TI PCI-1131 CardBus controller.  My Dell
Latitude 
CPi D233ST laptop has Bios vA03 and I cannot find earlier/later versions at
Dell.

I am considering the TouchStone driver, but there is CO$TLY support attached 
at US $1082/day or US $216/hr.

From: Randy Petersen <rpeterse@ix.netcom.com>

Great news since I'm in the market for an OS/2 compatible color printer!

My only question is "Where are the OS/2 drivers" ?
They are not on this webpage.

   I am not really sure what you were trying to do, except that
you seem to have been wanting to change everything around, and
then it would not work.  The EA DATA file holds customisation
information.  I am not sure about the ramifications, as I don't
have any FAT drives, but changing or deleting the files in a
non-native environment (no PM Shell) may result in object
corruption.  Basically, the EAs hold all the information in the
'Settings Notebook" or "Properties" object.

   Similarly, the OS/2 INI files hold all your Desktop
information, and if you change any object settings or paths from
outside the system's PM Shell, the information will be lost, and
you will end up with broken objects.

   When you backup and restore, to maintain itch initial system
integrity, the OS2*.INI files and the directory structure must
coincide.

Perhaps it might be prudent to clarify/confirm:
1.Pursuing why original PSF server "croaks" is not required as a long
term solution/alternative is ongoing anyway.
2.You appear to be all SCSI and you're at FP10 but still have problems
recognising/accessing partitions ?
3.From your other append you have an Adaptec but haven't specified the
model.    :-(

If you have a 2940 variant(or even others) then no doubt Trevor can
assist far better(= more accurately and far more concisely) than
I.......

Of course if it's actually DB/2 &/or PSF/2 installs that are objecting
to larger partition sizes you might be able to fudge it by reducing the
partitions to < 2Gb  (or < 1Gb even<g>), install and then subsequently
restore them to desired size all via PartitionMagic?
There again I may have completely misunderstood your reply in it's new
context?

ASIDE: Interesting little "gotcha" we discovered yesterday while sorting
out a legacy Adaptec (AHA1542CF) by moving SCSI from one PC to another -
A 4.3Gb SCSI worked perfectly with a 540Mb IDE drive on one Mobo but
failed totally on another mobo with a 4.3Gb IDE drive (+ original 4.3Gb
SCSI)!
SOLUTION: RTFM! or more explicitly the Read.me with new IDEDASD package
cos right down the bottom it said that 1542CF chokes on any partition
size > 1Gb? and low and behold we had >1 Gb partitions on the new IDE!.  
Reducing these to <1Gb solved problem but who(except for Trevor of
course<vbg>) would intuitively expect a partition size on an IDE device
to hang the PC dead on loading a SCSI base device driver?!
Presumably something to do with BootMangler,partition tables, MBR, LBA
combination perhaps..... but none the less interesting (albeit also
frustrating<g>) ..... and amazing how one still falls into the trap of
fiddling/f*rting around tweaking parameters on IDE/SCSI drivers and then
only reads the documentation as a last resort<vbg>.

Nothing to do with your problem of course..... just a little anecdote to
occupy/amuse you while Trevor composes the correct answer for you<g>.

Last try from me.

Have you tried the PLAYWILL.EXE from the following URL:-

http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/FBEDE2987F184EC18625668A006BEFD6.
html

It's subtly different from the Thinkpad PCMCIA stuff which is at:-

http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/YAST-3MDRYE.html

I have used the SS2INTEL.SYS which I believe you have (beta 3 and 4

I am running OS/2 Warp 4 with FixPak 6 on a Fujitsu LifeBook 530T. This
system uses the TI PCI-1130 CardBus controller.  I am using the
SS2PCIC2.SYS from IBM dated 1997/06/16 11:01 with no problems.  IBM has
also released newer support in February as PlayWill, but I have NOT
installed this yet.  The PlayWill version asks if you are running a
Chembook 2600 or a Toshiba Tecra 510CDT.  As mine is neither and I have
yet to receive an answer from IBM which one is appropriate for my system I
have declined to install this version.

If the 1131 is backward compatible with the 1130 I would expect this
driver to work for your system.  The only PCMCIA card I am using is a 3COM
Etherlink III card which works fine.  I had tried a Xircom one, but took
it back when I found out that their OS/2 drivers DID NOT use OS/2 socket
services and thus would not properly deal with suspend mode or card
changes.

Visiting the IBM Device Driver Pak online shous Dell Latitude CP to use
the PlayWill drivers that I have not yet installed, so I suspect this
should work for you.  If you can't find the SS2PCIC2 driver I can e-mail
you a copy.

Erik.

The code for Boot Manager is contained in the OS/2 FDISK.COM utility, so
a newer version of FDISK.COM (from Warp4, say) would satisfy your 
specific request.

However, I don't think it will solve your _problem_. Odds are your 
current Boot Manager will work fine... once it can access your drives 
properly. If you were on Warp4 this would mean installing (for IDE 
drives) a replacement IBM1S506.ADD driver from the OS/2 DDPak site:

    http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/

I don't recall the package name, but it will specifically refer to "IDE 
driver for drives >8 Gb".

If you're not booting from an IDE drive, you'll need tp check for an 
updated driver for your SCSI adapter.

Hope this helps...

I believe we've tracked it down and I don't know if there's anything we
can do about it.  It locks up when a huge job is shoved down the pipe
to it.  We have two network cards in the production server.  It's
bridging two networks.

The data for the print jobs comes down a 10 Mbps line from an image
server (this printer does bank statements with copies of checks on the
back).  It just dumps the data straight from the image server to the
OS/2 print server.  Once the data arrives at the computer, the operator
chooses a printer to send it to and moves ("transforms") the job over
to a printer.  The server then processes the job (this involves
applying the appropriate print information to each job) and sends it
down a different network card (10 Mbps again) to the high speed
printer.  There is a buffer in the printer and the data feeds into it,
then it starts processing the job.  The largest of these jobs run over
30,000 pages.

Where we are seeing it break down is in the transfer from the image
server to the print server.  If the print server is working on some
jobs and a very large job comes in, it tends to lock up.  We assume
because it simply can't handle the large amounts of data coming at it
while it's processing other jobs.  If we control the environment
carefully (ie, only letting big jobs come through when other jobs have
finished processing) it works fine.

I think part of the problem is scalability.  It's clear that the system
we have in there just can't handle the increases in production as the
company grows.  They used to just be able to process all the jobs that
came in AS they came in.  Now they have to do this awkward calling back
and forth to the people who are sending jobs.

"Are you ready for the job now?"
"No, I'll call when I'm ready"

And then back and forth until everyone is at their desk and can send
the job.  It shouldn't take that much babysitting. :)

No, all the partitions are fine now.  We've fixed the problem. :)
Well, knock on wood.  Dunno how the install of DB2 is going.

Nah, nothing like that.  The problem was getting the OS/2 whosits at
the top of the screen to see the partitions correctly.  The D: and E:
partitions were both around 8.1 gigs and the interface was reporting
468 megs for one and 4072 megs for the other.  But a command line
directory command showed the right amount of space.  Installing fixpack
10 fixed that display problem.  It is now showing the right amount of
space. :)

Subj: Re: printing through SCSI

From: Stephen Eickhoff <eickhsr@jm-usa.com>

I've crossposted your message to two OS/2 groups. Hopefully no one gets
annoyed, but there's really not a specific forum for this topic and I was
hoping maybe a warped guru could help out here.

I'm wondering if maybe a port could be added from the output ports tab? I
don't know what the device name would be, however. I'm guessing /pipe/scsi0
or /pipe/aspi0. IBM certainly does have a device driver but it doesn't
mention the SCSI interface.

You didn't say just why you could not use the BM with your new "large" HD.
My first guess is that you are running into the 1024 cylinder limit.

To the best of my knowledge the "old" BM is the same as the "new" BM. The
old BIOS "limitation" that INT13 can't see beyond the first 1024 cylinders
is still with us.

The latest solution is how the motherboard BIOS recognizes your HD.
Physically, your HD may have as few as 4 heads with a large number of
cylinders. (much greater than 1024)

The "better" and "newest" BIOS will recognize this drive as having as many
as 256 heads with proportionally fewer cylinders.

For your part, this may require selecting the correct CMOS setting.

                        .....CAUTION.....  

If you change this you will then have a like new and empty HD

The bottom line is that even with all the above you are still required to
limit the entire bootable partition(s) to less than the first 1024
cylinders. This often will be less than the entire HD, depending upon the
BIOS recognition mentioned above.

Subj: Warp 4 / Installation of Network Support

From: "Heinz Frey" <heinz-frey@t-online.de>

Perhaps somebody can advise me on the following Problem.

I installed my OS/2 Warp 4 on a different Mainboard with added Soundblaster
16 PnP and Ethernet Card (WD 8003 EP). The Mainboard is Iwill P55 XUB
(everything may be seen as pretty outdated by many, but the Hardware works
perfectly for Win95b which I have on a different partition).

Unfortunately warp's install program would not activate both cards
correctly. In an attempt to clean up the situation for further attempts, I
then deleted all network support of Warp 4. Stupid as I am, I really deleted
everything that looked like network support. After this I managed to
activate the Sound Blaster by hand assigning Interrupts and DMA channels.

It seems the problems have nothing to do with the network, so I would like
to try adding the Ether card. Unfortunately I cannot find any way to do
this. Selective Install does not say anything about networks (and still
would not recognise the Sound Blaster). Everything else has been deleted by
my thorough erasure.

Is there any possibility to add network support from the CD short of
installing OS/2 from scratch?

Thanks for your help.

Heinz Frey

What the settings in OS/2? I think somewhere in here I read something about 
file and print sharing, but can't find anything in OS/2 about it at all. I
don't remember
seeing it when I was installing either. I can't even find anywhere's that you
go in it
to share a file or even a whole drive letter. 

I wish I could get this to work as OS/2 works perfect other than that on this
old
laptop. I would like to dump the WFWG 3.11 that is on it totally if I can get
this to
work over the network. I use it just as a test machine to test settings on the 
network.

I have even tried to install the IBM Network Client for Windows 95 with no
help there
either. I went into the File and Printer Sharing in Win98, and changed the LM
announce
to Yes, but no difference other than now when I restart my desktop it hangs
for about
1 minute then reboots. If I turn that back to no it restarts normally.

This is very frustrating, as I know it is probably something really simple and 
easy to change.

Any Help is greatly appreciated.

TIA!!!

Jim S.

you don't say what version of OS/2 you're running - you need either Warp 3
connect or Warp 4.  Other versions did not have networking included in the
basic package.

There is a component called file and print client or Peer networking (IIRC IBM
changed the name between warp 3 and 4) which gives similar functionality to
win 3.11.

The on line help should give enough info to get started - in Warp 4 under
assistance centre:information:tasks there is an item called file and print
client guide.  In warp 3 look for "peer for OS/2"

Boot Manager is run before any of the OS/2 drivers are loaded 
(indeed, it uses your BIOS information to access the drives) so I
doubt that IBM1S506.ADD will make any difference.  

IIRC, Boot Manager has problems with Win98 FAT32 and FAT32x 
partitions.  I don't think IBM ever addressed this although 
Powerquest apparently modified their licensed version of Boot 
Manager that shipped with Partition Magic v3 to handle FAT32 
partitions.  The latest version of Partition Magic no longer uses
Boot Manager, but instead uses Powerquest's own "Boot Magic" 
utility.  It handles FAT32 partitions fine, and doesn't even 
require its own partition, but it does need several megabytes 
worth of space on a FAT partition.

From that web page click on "Services and Support" then click on "Printer
Drivers."

Or just visit the IBM OS/2 Device Driver Pak Online.  (The whole point of
this printer is that it's Postscript, and you'll be using the OS/2 Warp
Postscript driver.)

If you look in the directory \CID\IMG\MPTS there is an install 
(install.cmd) for the MPTS part of networking. Install that and then
look in the directory \CID\IMG\PEER and there is a program
PEERRMT.EXE that can be used to install the "File and Print"
client.

Apply any later fixpacks (of course)

I have an ASUS P5A-B motherboard with that chipset and 128mb of RAM.   
   All 128mb shows up with OS/2 4, fp 9.  There is a BIOS setting

Subj: Cannot read Install Disk 2

From: Bud Gallagher <budgall@home.com>

Today I ran out of disk space on my notebooks drive C. Seeing that its
been 2 plus years without a reinstall and that I did not need the DOS
partitions any longer, I decided to redo the entire computer (a Wedge
Notebook).

I started the process and the install disk started, as well as Disk 1,
when I was prompted for Disk 2, all I get is a beep and the prompt to
insert Disk 2 remains. It acts like it did not sense the change of
disks. I have created a new set of install disks from the CD and I have
created an updated disk 1 to handle large drives (not needed here). I
have used a second set of install disks.

Anyone have any ideas to get it to read the Disk 2 and complete the
install?????

Thanks

Subj: modem problems Warp 3

From: "J.B. Rem" <jbrem.tempress@uni-one.nl>

Hi,

I'm having irregular problems with my modem. W95 works fine with the
Best Data 28800 internal modem. Warp3, IBM network dialer sometimes
gives me a connection, usually however it just sits there with the
message "dialing". When I pick up the phone there is a continuous static
noise and nothing goes on. Trying to reset the modem with LiveWire does
not work, only resetting the PC releases the phone line.
I have the IBM dialer selected the modem, Generic type 1. Manually
selecting Best Data 28800 gives me sometimes a connection but with a
terrible speed (200 B/s).
Any clues? Maybe specific programs that kill the PPP/SLIP connection?


Thanks
Jan Bart

Looking into this. I'm using LPDeamon already. I guess I should look for some
config file. However, the online OS/2 help only mentiones printing from
LPT/COM/Infrared

Indeed :-(
I think I need to get my paws on a SCSI-to-LPT adapter. It seems only Adaptec

At least for the Optra E310 laserprinter they are on the CD-ROM included with
the product! Yes, really a piece of computer hardware with _out of the box_
OS/2 support!

Subj: Problems installing Warp 3 on new computer

From: Jim Parker <jdparker@erols.com>

My old computer's motherboard crashed so I bought a new computer and I'm
trying to install Warp 3 on it without success. It's an AMD K6 450 Mhz
machine with a 6.4G hard drive. I've updated the installation diskettes
with the new DASD drivers and have used them previously to reinstall
Warp 3 when I bought a new hard drive for my old computer. I'm trying to
install to a logical partition on the new computer's drive. The
installation proceeds normally for a while: after booting the
installation diskette and feeding it diskettes 1 through 6 (it is a
diskette rather than a CD installation), it asks for the installation
diskette again, then asks for diskette 1 again and then asks me to
remove the diskette and press enter at which point it does a reboot. The
reboot hangs. I never see the OS2 in the upper left corner.

I've tried applying the PJ23092 OS2LDR fix but that doesn't help.

One thing that occurred to me is that I might be trying to install to a
partition that goes beyond the 4GB limit. The partition starts before
the 4GB limit but may extend beyond that limit depending on what you
mean by GB. If a GB is 1024 X 1024 X 1024 = 1,073,741,824 then the
entire partition is within the 4GB limit. If a GB is 1,000,000,000 then
the partition extends beyond the limit. (I resized the partition using
Partition Magic to get the whole thing within the 4GB limit according to
the second definition of GB and then tried to boot it but it still
hangs. Would I have to start the install over again to correct a 'beyond
the 4GB limit' problem if there was one?)

Any thoughts on what to do next to get Warp 3 installed correctly would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jim

From: patrickstump@my-deja.com

I have a dell inspirion 7000 with ti1220 chipset for pcmcia.  I have
everything working except the ethernet card.  3com 3c589b. I have
minimal understaning of how pcmcia works but I got the driver from
touchstone, a company in germany who writes a driver to supprt most of
the chipsets.

We all need to form a pcmcia group to be done with this problem.

Everybody interested post a message with ideas on how to collaberate,
and or you problem, machine/chipset as well.

I am tired of my nick card not working :)

Subj: HELP ! plug and play trouble !

From: Walter Protch <protch@irit.fr>

Hi everyone.

I'm really annoyed with my computer (better say with os/2)
I've got a ZM6 motherboard
with a AHA1520 isa card and a XG192 (YMF 724) pci card
the problem comes with both of them 'cos they're not configured by
plug and play drivers provided by os/2 W4 FP10
I've tried without success the reserve.sys driver ...
(beside de fact driver parameters are a little confusing :-( )

in fact the OS isn't able to assign them an irq

Does anybody has a clue ???

I'm interested. I guess a comp.os.os2.pcmcia group is needed, if there isn't
already one. I've got a Dell Latitude with the ti 1225 chipset that I
haven't got to recognise PCMCIA at all. I haven't tried the touchstone
drivers yet though, I must admit.

John,

Point well taken. I probably should have asked exactly what _kind_ of 
problems the original poster was seeing (;-). I ass-u-med he was having 
trouble installing it or setting it up, which could well have been 
IBM1S506-related, but of course one should really _check_ these 
assumptions.

Ah. Last I had heard PQ's utility was a modified version of Boot 
Manager, but since I could get IBM's version to work on all my drives 
(so far (;-)) I have never installed their version. No partition? 
Interesting. Wonder where it hides its code, since I have trouble 
believing they squeezed it into 510 bytes. (;-)

One other issue exists that neither of us touched on: the 1024 cylinder 
limit. If the original poster (feel free to speak up, Erik! (;-)) is 
trying to boot from a partition past the 1024 cylinder point, will "Boot
Magic" help?


It's not Friday yet, is it?  (sigh)

Subj: Problem with installation of WSeB

From: 3taegene@informatik.uni-hamburg.de (Andreas Taegener)

Hello,

I have a problem with the installation the WarpServer for e-business. 
I tried to install it again and again without success. It would be 
very nice if someone could help me.

My first try was to install from the bootable CD, but my computer is 
unable to boot from CD.
My second try was to install from diskettes. But while the machine 
boots from the installation diskette, it restarts. The reboot happens 
before the ALT-F1 menu appears.
Then I tried to replace the installation diskette with the one from my
Warp4. This time everything was fine until I inserted the "diskette 2"
and pressed enter. The system stopped with the message "OS/2 is unable
to operate your hard disk or diskette drive. The system is stopped. 
Correct the preceding error and restart the system.". immediately 
before this message some other messages scrolled over the screen, but 
to fast to read.
After this I also replaced the "Diskette 1" with the one from Warp4. 
Now I've got a message about a failure in DOSCALL1.DLL after inserting
diskette 2. So I replaced DOSCALL1.DLL with the Warp4 version and the 
system was able to boot until it accessed the CD-ROM. It stopped 
saying "Locating requested files, please wait..." on the screen (I 
inserted the CD after I was told to. Otherwise there is nothing on the
screen).

My motherboard is an ASUS sp97-v with an AMD K6/233 and 96 MB RAM. 
Harddisk and CD-ROM are attached to an Tekram 310U SCSI host adapter.
The floppy is an 2.88MB drive. Every other card is removed (the 
network card). I also removed all partitions from the harddisk.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheerio
Andreas

Yes

If you are networking two machines OS/2 doesn't read 
the data directly, the Win 98 machine reads the
data and sends it off through the (supposedly standard)
NETBIOS/NETBEUI/TCPBEUI software that handles the
network sharing of disk resources.

You can read a FAT32 partition that is on the machines local
hard drive if you use one of the FAT32 file systems that
are available at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu

Did you update the install diskettes for the Tekram SCSI driver?

Check to make sure that the Tekram SCSI is not being recognized
as some other SCSI controller. There is a problem with the DC-390
and there may also be a problem with the DC-310.

Subj: How to install Warp 4 in logical drive

From: "Yuk Lun Chan" <yuklchan@netvigator.com>

Hello all,

In OS/2 2.11, I can install the OS in any drive. But in Warp 4, the advance
installation only allow to install to C drive and the fdisk only allow the
primary partition to installable. I wonder can I install Warp 4 into other
logical drive any more. If it can be, how to do it?

Thank you very much!

From: skhalsa@my-deja.com

I had the same problem and found its solution.

Per Trevor Hemsley (do a power search under deja.com, he posts the
solution to this a couple times a week it seems; fix me up as well).

Warp 3 has a problem sometimes, documentation not withstanding ,
installing on partition over 2GB.  One solution is to make the OS/2
partition smaller using Partition Magic, till it is completely within
the first 2GB.  The other is (to quote):

Both methods have worked for me on different occasions, different
machines.

Check out the FAT32 IFS from Henk Kelder, at

this will work across a peer network.

I don't know anything about your specific modem, but try Ray Gwinn's 
SIO driver (it replaces COM.SYS). It has been known to "fix" a lot of 
these kind of problems. 

http://vmbbs.gwinn.com/

Be sure to register it, if it helps.There is also a new COM.SYS, that 
comes with later fix packs, that will fix some of these problems.

A couple of years ago, I had a problem with a registered version of 
LiveWire. I reported the problem to the LiveWire author, and was 
informed that he was too busy with other things to be bothered fixing 
the problem. I, promptly, deleted LiveWire, and replaced it with ZOC, 
which seems to work very well. I chalked that one up to a "bad 
investment".

Creative Labs quit supporting OS/2 about half way through making 
drivers for the AWE32. Some, desperate user's have managed to get the 
AWE32, and the AWE64, cards working.

On the other hand, IF you are looking to buy a new card, look very 
seriously at the AOpen AW37 (or AW37Pro) card. They are cheap, they 
work well (better than the more expensive SB cards, IMO), and they 
have the OS/2 support of the Crystal chipset drivers (acknowleged to 
be the best OS/2 sound card drivers).

Hope this helps...

Subj: Recommended PCMCIA modem and 10/100 ethernet?

From: Timur Tabi <nospam_timur@tabi.org>

I just purchased a used Toshiba laptop that works great with OS/2.  Now
I'm looking for a PCMCIA v.90 modem and a PCMCIA 10/100 (or just 10Mbs
if 10/100 is too expensive) ethernet card.

The modem must do v.90 and have a reputation for reliability.
Otherwise, I may as well get a 33.6K modem.

The ethernet card, if it does both 10Mbs and 100Mbs, should be
autodetectable.  I don't want to have to reconfigure MPTS.

Also, how good is OS/2 with hot-plugging PCMCIA devices?  I've never
used an OS/2 laptop before, so there's a lot I need to learn.  Is it
unreasonable for me to expect that I can plug in my modem or ethernet
card while OS/2 is running, and have it recognize the card and start
using it?  Or do I have to reboot?

Subj: Re: Problem with installation of WSeB

From: "Chris Stumpf" <cstumpf@monmouth.com>

Here is your problem.  The installation is confusing your adapter.  The
solution is to rem out the ql510.add drivers in the config.sys on the
installation disks.  Also, you may still have the problem after doing this. 
The solution is to either boot off the floppies and use tedit to fix the
config.sys or add this line to the config.sys on the install disks:

	SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1

This will copy the config.sys from the floppy and not the cd rom using the
updates that you made.

The classic 2gb startable limit can bypassed easily with floppy
boot to command line and running sysinstx drive: operation with
a fresh copy of file uhpfs.dll.

   I have a DELL Latitude, and the PCMCIA modem works with no
problems.  I have Sportster 28.8, and I can remove and insert it
at will.  However, I also have a Xircom Ethernet card, but it
has to be inserted at boot, and remain inserted to function.  I
asked a networking guru friend about this, and he said that
OS/2's networking stack necessitates this.  But maybe other card
services and drivers may be different.

You must have the OS/2 Boot Manager installed on the first physical disk
to allow you to install to a drive other than C:.

Any intended installation partition must reside completely within the
first 1024 cylinders of the disk (after any translation mechanism like LBA
has taken effect). This effectively limits you to partitions within the
first 8GB of any disk.

There's a bug in the Warp 4 IDE drivers that stops them working with IDE
drives greater than 4GB. Get new drivers from

By itself no. Using an add on like FAT32.IFS yes. 

See: http://www.os2ss.com/information/kelder/

Yes you can peer to peer to a Win 98 machine that is using FAT32. 
Yes you can see that specific partition if it is shared.
No you CANNOT see long names on a Win9X machine on any partition. This
is network related and FAT32.IFS doesn't play any role here - so it
doesn't help.

From: 3taegene@informatik.uni-hamburg.de (Andreas Taegener)

Thanks for the tip. But I tried it without success.
 I rem'ed out the ql510.add driver an booted with the Warp4 
"Installation diskette" and "Diskette 1" & "Diskette 2" of WSeB. Again
just after inserting the "Diskette 2" there was the message "OS/2 is 
unable to operate your hard disk...". 
Buy the way, I also have "copyfromfloppy=1" and "basedev=sym8xx.add 
/v" in the config.sys file on "Diskette 1". The Symbios driver is the 
original one from WSeB and the status message of the loaded Symbios 
driver is displayed above the "unable to operate..." message. So I'm 
sure, that the driver is loaded and able to communicate with the SCSI 
devices.

Any more suggestions?

Yes; you don't need the driver in that case, as the Windows

From: Paul Arnott <parnott@brooknet.com.au>

I've got a Mitac 5033 (notebook) with a TI-1225 controller that won't work
either, I've tried Playwill and Card Director  and SOI drivers,but NOTHING
will
get OS/2 to recognise the PCMCIA slots. I gave up and went back to the
external
modem I used with my old desktop. Needless to say DOS98 sees these slots
immediately. I like OS/2 when it works, but I can't get either the ESS1869
sound
card or PCMCIA to work. Maybe a Warp 5 is needed.

Not the exact same laptop, but according to
 ( http://support.dell.com/oti/systems/pmojav/Specs.htm )
... they are about the same.

I have a DELL CPi D266XT with TI PCI 1131 Cardbus controller
and it's running OS/2 Warp V4 (No fixpaks).

No "Reserve.sys" used.

PCMCIA Socket Services Driver used is = "SS2PCIC2.SYS".
"    "  "  Date is "6-16-97" (time stamp = 11:01a)
"    "  "  Size is "19381 bytes"
"    "  "  Rev. = 1.0 (Beta release)

I have a 3COM Ethernet PC Card (Model 3C589D) installed and
working perfectly fine.
 
 	PC Card NIC: I/O=300, IRQ=10
 
For my modem I used PSION DACOM 56K+Fax Gold Card Multi-function
card. This also works great.

My setup under PCMCIA "Auto Configurator Utility/2"
is for "Selected Cards"
	Modem Card (3E8)
	  Edit settings look like: I/O=0x3E8 IRQ=4 Com#=0xff
	Modem Card (3F8)
	  Edit settings look like: I/O=0x3F8 IRQ=4 Com#=0xff

 ...the modem gets COM Port 3. with I/O=2F8, IRQ=3

Hope this helps.
If you like I can send you the SS2PCIC2.SYS I have.
Thanks.

Keep in mind that the IBM scroll mouse drivers are only for PS/2 and USB
mice.  No serial mice drivers for the little wheel.

Subj: Astra 610P scanner, anyone using it in Warp?

From: jbrush@aros.net

I bought one because more than a few folks said it works great in WinOS2. 

Well, the software works, and it is a nice scanner, but no matter what I
try, I cannot use an app to scan, and then print, without first quitting
the scan application.

PSP, the stuff that comes with the scanner, even the copier function
requires that I shut down the copier app before it will print. The print
window pops up, and shows the big red X and says the device is in use.

I have tried what I think are every combination of settings in the winos2
session, and using the print manager or not, but nothing will allow me to
print without shutting down the apps first. I even put the scanner on LPT2
and the printer on LPT1 to no avail. The scanning app is locking out the
printer for some reason.

If anyone is using this scanner and scanning to the printer without
problems like this, I would love to hear from you. I know have a Microtek
E3 that doesn't work in OS/2 and the 610P (it works, but its not
convenient at all) Sane does NOT work with the E3, and CFM is not an
option. 

Much obliged for any ideas or comments.

Thanks,

John

From: "Chris Stumpf" <cstumpf@monmouth.com>

Are you sure you are using the correct driver for your card?  You did say
that your scsi card is a tekram 310 series right?  I would go to tekram's
website and download the current driver for that card and make sure that
during the install when you see the hardware selections screen to remove
whatever scsi device WSEB thinks is there and select the new driver that you
updated your install disks with.  I know that tekram uses the symbios
chipsets, but try it this way and see if it makes any difference.

Good call, the DC31x series doesn't use a SymBIOS chipset as I remember,
it uses a TekRam specific one.

Yeah, get the following page and print it all out.

Dont worry about it being for modems, plug and play is the same for all
physical devices and the methods outlined in the last section for Warp 4
should be followed.  Dont forget, you must have hardware detect enabled in
order for plug and play to work. --

Sounds like the modem has connected but that your IP has not.  You should
check to see if your dialer settings are correct and complete. --

Subj: Setting Up TCP/IP in WinOS2

From: jdb@juliand.com (Julian Dominic)

This used to work.  A while back my c: drive opted for early retirement.  
I had OS/2 2.1 and TCP/IP V2 with the DOS box originally on this 
drive.  Over the years I updated regularly to where I am now, Warp 4 fixpak 
11.  When my hard drive died earlier this year, I took a new one off the 
shelf and reinstalled Warp 4.  Now the DOS WinOS2 environment doesn't 
recognize that it has a TCP/IP connection.  As far as I can tell everything 
should be working.

In autoexec.bat I've got:
PATH=C:\OS2;C:\OS2\MDOS;C:\;C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2;c:\tcpip\dos\bin;
SET ETC=c:\tcpip\dos\etc

winsock.dll is in c:\tcpip\dos\bin
This is the only winsock on the system.

What am I missing?

By the way, I know it's not working because when I start Opera it can't find 
the TCP/IP environment.  Quicken also can't find it.

Thanks

Julian Dominic

Subj: TCP/IP Not Working in WinOS2

From: Julian Dominic <jdb@juliand.com>

This used to work until I had to replace my system hard drive.  My first

TCP/IP configuration was OS/2 2.1 with TCP/IP V2 + Dos Box.  As I
upgraded
over this TCP/IP worked fine in all environments.  When I installed a
new
hard drive and rebuilt the system to where it is today, Warp 4, Fixpak
11.
TCP/IP in DOS WinOS2 is not recognized.  Everything seems to be set up
correctly.

My autoexec says:
PATH=C:\OS2;C:\OS2\MDOS;C:\;C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2;c:\tcpip\dos\bin;
SET ETC=c:\tcpip\dos\etc

winsock.dll is in c:\tcpip\dos\bin.  It is the only one.
The RESOLV files have entries for my DNS.

What am I missing?

Have you printed any photos with this printer?  If
so, how would you rate the quality?  I have an Epson
Color Stylus 500; the Epson.de driver (1.020) won't
let me print "letter" size, but defaults to "A4" -
I'm then asked whether the print should be resized to
fit.  The output quality is less than spectacular.
This printer, by the way, is the third such unit in
the past 2-1/2 years (extended warranty).  As a
result, I'm about ready to get something else.

Subj: Scroll mouse won't install

From: David Zuidema <David.Zuidema@sci.monash.edu.au>

I downloaded the latest scrollms.exe and tried to install my new
logitech scrollmouse. The readme file states that language directories
are created (they're not). The install program complains about no
language support and then that there are no resources available. On
reboot the wps hangs. I have to boot to a command line reinstall the
original mouse.sys and delete wpstkmou.dll from \os2\dll for everything
to work again.
Has anyone else experienced this ? Is it a buggy scrollms.exe archive ?

To tell the true all seems to be right. But in the same situation I copied
all DLL's
and EXE's from \tcpip\dos\bin to \os2\mdos\winos2 and it helped.

Ive now installed a newer version of 1s506 and fdisk can now see all

Yes, it is probably the 1024 limit. As Ive now discovered when I got the
drives
to work properly.

But is there any ways, with System commander, Boot Magic or Boot manager
to have two huge primary partitions which I can boot upon ? Or is this
some bad habit from the old days of computers ?

Could someone please enlighten me why there is a 1024 cyl boot limit ?
And is it any way to get around this ?

Anyway thanks for all answers from everybody

Hm. The IBM Home and Away 14.4kB modem 10Mbs ethernet combo card I can
pull / reinsert before boot, there after, during operation at will. It
just works. However, it installs its own com.sys copy to allow for this
magic of dynamic irq/com port/address assignment. Too bad stock com.sys
doesn't do that.

To work well, my Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI controller card (1640a2) OTHO needs
to be in and connected to what ever devices (powered up) I wish to use,
otherwise it goes blind and doesn't do anything. This seems to depend on
the drivers used, too, but somehow even Adaptec have not yet managed /
bothered to put out a reasonable one for the card. I do doubt they will.

 Cheers, Stefan

Once again you come to my rescue - I borrowed a friends notebook that

Will modify my config.sys and see if the boot works tomorrow

Yep, I did,
I even tried playing with the "reserve.sys" driver without much success
OK, I think I'd be more precise in my problems :

My AHA1520 is jumper configurated to use irq 9
at boot OS/2 tries to assign it the IRQ 0xC = 12

My XG192 (Yamaha sound card) is pci pnp 
and has the same problem, 
its IO ports are recognized well but once again
the irq proposed by OS/2 0xF = 15 reports a fail

I've tried using reserve.sys /irq:9 /p:340,xxx and in that case
aha1520 yells : "driver failed to load" without any other explanation


I got some more info about reserve.sys by the web and I'll try to make
it work (OH Lord, help me in this heavy duty ;-))

here are the last news about my problem and remedies I tried

Thanks for any other help and excuse my hesitating english

Yep; I've found a way to override this problem :
Just rename your language file (e.g. Wpstkmri.fr ==> Wpstkmri.dll)
and put it in your DLL folder

From: 3taegene@informatik.uni-hamburg.de (Andreas Taegener)

My Tekram realy uses a Symbios chip and the sym8xx.add driver was 
shiped with the host adapter. I tried both versions of this driver: 
the version from WSeB and the one from tekram. They both don't work 
for the installation of WSeB.
This morning I tried explicitly to access my hard disk and my cdrom 
with a set of Warp4 bootdisks and the Symbios driver from Tekram.  It 
worked. Unfortunately the Warp4 installation diskettes can not install
WSeB.

Nevertheless thank you for your efforts.

Buy the way, can someone tell me if it is possible to start the 
installation process with the Warp4 (or some other) bootdisks? Maybe I
can change the CDROM ID string on the bootdisk with a diskeditor. Or I
can create a modified copy of the CD. Any clue?

Many thanks in advance.

I've started to collect the AWE32, whenever I see one go in the local

I picked up 2 of them for $35.00 (Canadian Dollars) recently.

Have you tried the old standby of seeing just which drivers are being

The Boot Manager provided with Partition Magic v3 was IBM's Boot 
Manager, used under license.  Partition Magic v4 has a completely
different program called "Boot Magic."

I think the boot code just tells it to jump to where Boot Magic 
lives on the FAT partition, and the rest of the process, pretty 
graphics and menus and such are loaded from there.

No.  That is a BIOS issue and since Boot Magic is a real mode 
program and relies on the BIOS you still need to put your
partitions where the BIOS can see them.  IIRC, linux' "lilo" boot
loader does some funky stuff in its "linear" mode to work around
this, but I haven't tried that option myself yet.

Agreed it shouldn't.
Ideally one would expect the "scalability" limitation to be reflected in
the fact that the overloaded print server would(timeout) result in a
message on image server akin to "Server not responding" or similiar
rather than just hanging?
One assumes that relevant OS/2- network error & other logs(inc perhaps
POPUPOS2.LOG) have not revealed any clues?
It's unfortunate I no longer appear to have my notes on various things I
tried when encountering  the almost identical(apparently) symptoms.     
:-(

As I said far too long ago for my "geriatric" memory to recall exact
details other than it took considerable heuristic experimentation(not
having a "sniffer" or SPM/2 available at that time) ....  :-(
Perhaps when you have 2nd server available you will have opportunity of
checking in more detail:
1. Latest PSF/DB2 and spooler fixes from IBM site.
2. Monitoring network traffic IMAGE <> PRINT SRV <> Prtr  via Lan
Analyser(DataGlance or similar) and use of say SPM/2(Service-System
Performance Monitor) or similiar on  Ptr Srv?
3. Experimenting/benchmarking various network timeouts,buffer sizes and
priority settings etc....
.....without impacting production?

I hazily recall(but probably mistaken) that PSF was produced as part of
IBM's "Pennant" large printer subdivision.... I  assume it's still
supported but presumably PS Assist (IBM Support) are still "scratching"
their collective heads?

Sorry I can't be more helpful...

Here's the entire checklist for TCP/IP in WinOS2:


This is a copy of a message I printed about 2 weeks ago explaining how to get
Windows internet apps to work in OS/2.

1)   In your autoexec.bat file, make sure there is a line that says:
    SET ETC=C:\TCPIP\DOS\ETC

2)   In autoexec.bat file path statement, the line C:\TCPIP\DOS\BIN is first

Subj: Re: Problem with installation of WSeB

From: 3taegene@informatik.uni-hamburg.de (Andreas Taegener)

I tried it with the original WSeB installation disks, but the system 
reboots before showing any driver information.
When I tried it with the combination of Warp4 (installation diskette) 
and WSeB (Diskette 1 & 2) disks. After inserting the "Diskette 2" I 
was unable to read any detailed information. Some text scrolled to 
fast over the screen and then the message "unable to operate your hard
disk..." appeard. 
On the weekend I will try to write down all the drivers which are 
loaded from the other disks and tell you 

To be sure that we are talking about the same diskette numbers: I'm 
using the diskette titles which IBM suggests when you create them by 
using the cdinst.exe tool. 
   Installation diskette
   Diskette 1
   Diskette 2
Some people may call them Diskette 1, Diskette 2 and Diskette 3.

Erik,

Thanks... so at least I was close (I lucked out (;-)).

Can you clarify "perhaps not yet fully compatible"? The last version of 
IBM1S506 I heard about would support IDE drives up to 32 Gb, so with 
this driver one should be able to partition all space on such (IDE) 
drives and access it from OS/2.

This gets us into "different" territory.  At boot time there are only a
limited set of disk services available, via the B.I.O.S.  in ROM-or-
whatever-passes-for-it-these-days.  At boot time these services
originally offered access to disk sectors via a 24-bit number
arbitrarily broken down into "cylinders", "heads", and "sectors".  Add
in a "canonically defined" 512-byte sector and you get about 8 Gb worht
of disk space as a limit. There are extensions to the old BIOS disk 
services, but suport for them has not yet percolated through all boot 
code for all systems.

Now we get to the nub of things... "What do you want?"

        (There's never a Vorlon around when you really need one (;-))

MSWin9X is (IIRC) limited to a C:  primary partition.  MSWinNT can be
_installed_ elsewhere, but only if a C:  FAT(?)  partition exists.  And
OS/2 can be installed on/boot from C:, D:, or whatever - as long as it
is BIOS-accessible.

It's often convenient to have one's operating systems separate from 
one's programs and data.

With this in mind, the following is a possible installation (sizes are
sloppy):

Primary      (coupla Mb)  Boot Manager
Primary C:   (   100 Mb)  FAT DOS 6.22 (MSWin3x optional)
Primary C:   (   800 Mb)  FAT MSWin9x
Extended
 Logical D:  (   300 Mb)    HPFS OS/2 Warp 4
 Logical E:  (   600 Mb)    NTFS MSWinNT
 Logical F:  (   400 Mb)    HPFS OS/2 apps/data
 
    (okay, I got a little carried away (;-)).

Note that for most curent IDE drives and BIOS "cylinder mapping" ("LBA")
support enabled, ALL of these are below 1024 cylinders, and you can boot
from them.

In the above setup, when you boot DOS you won't see the MSWin9x 
partition, and vice versa.

This is not an answer, just one way of approaching the problem; I'm sure
others will have their own opinions (;-). The key is that there is more 
than one answer: "it depends".

Hope this helps..

Ah, like the NT boot loader. Which would mean the "no partition needed" 
is sort of ingenuous, since you _would_ need a FAT partition, even if 
one was otherwise HPFS. Sorry - I don't need to use up your time on

Walter,

I'm jumping into this a bit late, so feel free to ignore this post if 
it's redundant.

Have you checked your System Setup to see which IRQs are assigned for
PCI use and which are available for ISA adapters?  If, for example, IRQ9
were assigned to the PCI bus, it would not be available to the OS/2
driver for the AHA1520 (ISA) adapter.

Anway, it's an easy thing to check (if you can _find_ it (;-)).

Hope this helps move things along...

From: racette@cablevision.qc.ca (Martin Racette)

Hi guys,

I've got a really weird problem with 
RealAudio, I can play local files 
correctly, but as soon as it has to go 
to the Internet for the data, my entire 
computer locks upnad I have to do a 
RESET to make the system work again.

It was working about a month ago 
perfectly well, and a couple of days ago
I tried it again and the problem 
started, I tried to re-install it 
several times to no avail

My system is P-II Celeron 400Mhz with 
128Mb RAM, Warp 4 FP11

BTW. don't tell me that its FP11, 
because it was working OK shortly after 
I installed FP11

Thank you in advance

Xircom has a 100/10 ethernet & V.90 modem card, with OS/2 drivers.  It
apparently also works with Linux.  The card takes two PCMCIA slots and
has an RJ45 and two RJ11 jacks right on the card, so you don't need 
any special adapters.  It's also available from IBM.

We're not getting any errors, and have not checked any logs (I didn't
know about such logs). The system just stops responding to any input.
If we leave it alone, many times it will eventually start responding,
but sometimes it is just locked up and has to be rebooted.

I've not looked in that log, but now that I know it exists... :)

We do have a sniffer.  The jobs are leaving the image server and going
down the line to the print server. Once they hit the print server, it
slows down dramatically and only dribbles of data get through, with the
data hammering at the card while it waits to get into the system.

We are hoping to do things like this, but thanks for the suggestions as

It shouldn't be rebooting at all.  The only times you should get a reboot
are either during the installation process itself, or if you run LVM and
end up changing partitions such that a reboot is necessary.

Are you sure you haven't got some sort of hardware problem?

You definitely ought not to try to mix'n'match like this.

Presumably by now the three installation diskettes are hopelessly
jumbled.  I suggest making a new set from off the CD-ROM, and then
thinking *very* carefully about what drivers to add and/or delete, and
the concomitant changes to CONFIG.SYS.

I'm surprised: I had to look at the headers to see that you were using

Shouldn't that be RESOLV2 under Warp 4?

Although my Home & Away card can also be removed and reinserted 
and still have ethernet work, I find that the modem function is 
lost if the machine (Compaq Contura Aero) goes into suspend mode. 
When I resume the machine after a suspend, I must remove and 
reinsert the card to get ethernet to work again, but modem will 
only return after a reboot.  This is not the case if I hard-code 
an IRQ for the modem to  use, but then ethernet does not work at 
all.  So its nice, but could be better...

First thing I'd do in this situation is to remake the diskettes using
fresh shiny new ones from the CD using the CDINST.CMD that IBM usually
place in the root directory.

:>I've got a Mitac 5033 (notebook) with a TI-1225 controller

I have the very same notebook, and after many months and lot of
headaches I've been able to make it work with OS/2, including
sound card (ess1869) and Pcmcia modem and lan cards.

I had installed many OS2 PCs before, but this has been the most
difficult installation of my life !

:>I like OS/2 when it works, but I can't get either the ESS1869 sound
:>card or PCMCIA to work.

To make the sound card work you need this line as first
statement in the config.sys file:
BASEDEV=RESERVE.SYS /DMA:1 /DMA:3 /IO:330,2
(and of course the ess1869 driver.......)

To make the Pcmcia work you need the new TouchStone Pcmcia
driver.
You will also need this line as second line in config.sys:
BASEDEV=RESERVE.SYS /MEM:CA00,2000

Of course, you will need also a Pcmcia card with Os2 drivers !
 ( I have a very inexpensive/compatible 10Mb card, with LinkSys
drivers)

Last warning : it works only booting with the lan card plugged
in.   God knows why ....
