  Something else is going on.  I use procom and I don't get any beeps using
the
mouse.  Actually I don't recall the mouse working.  Are you running procom in
a
DOS fullscreen?  I think it has to run in fullscreen.

  Yes some people are not writing for OS/2.  After seven years I had to
add Win98 because Quicken doesn't support Win3.1.  Interestingly,
Quicken was no more stable in WinOS2 or Win95.  Perhaps there are
applications that compromise the stability of Windows.

Here's how I did my setup.  As someone else said, you need bootmanager
and Partition Manager.  The order of installation is important. (At
least in my case; if you want to use just Partition Manager, it might
work to install Windows and add OS/2.)  The reason for this observation
is that when you install Windows on a operating system windows get
really annoyed if it discovers another operating system.  It claims boot
manager won't work.  I can't boot Windows from bootmanager.  I use
partition manager for switching.  Bootmanager doesn't point to
command.com.

1.  Install OS/2 with bootmanager and set  partitions for OS/2 and
Windows.  I have OS/2 on my c: drive which is THE PRIMARY MASTER IDE
drive.  If your OS/2 is on a different physical drive, I can't tell you
how this works.

2.  It's cheap so allocate 40meg for LINUX (Redhat LINUX 6.0 requires
about 22 meg on the primary master.  This is geometery dependent so you
need to calculate where you put the partition.  You'll need to do these
calculations anyway since Windows and OS/2 also have BIOS limitations on
where they can live and be discovered at primordial boot time.

3.  After OS/2 is installed, install Partition Magic and format the
other partitions.  Designate all partitions bootable and startable.

4.  You need the full Windows installation pack.  Switch to the Windows
partition.  Boot to the Windows installation diskette.  Install.  Ignore
ugly message about bootmanager and your future functionality.

5.  Install Partition Magic for Windows.

You need Partition Magic to switch back and forth.

FYI ...

If you have Object Desktop 2.x there is a neat tool named "Object 
Inspector" ...

With it one can modify assorted and various parameters of WPS objects.
For instance I changed my font palette to display 12 different fonts, 
and I tightened up the horizontal/vertical spacing of the cells 
holding the Font name ...

All in all it is a neat toy to play with :=)

That would be the blind leading the blind.  I know the TX set is 
limited to 64 meg cached and I THINK the same holds true for the FX 
series.  The (old) HX series were OK but I've lost track in the last 
few years.

I don't even know what Partition Manager is. I am able to get back and forth
between OS/2 V4 and Windows98 with no problem using Boot Manager. I have both
on logical C drives on my primary hard drive. The "normal" way to shut down
Windows98 is to choose Start then Shut Down. At that point, you'll see a
popup with three choices - Shut Down is at the top and is checked. I don't
know just what it is that Windows does, but if I shut down that way, I have
to turn off the computer to get back to the Boot Manager. Otherwise it boots
directly into Windows. Instead of Shut Down, choose Restart - the second
choice. That takes me into Boot Manager, and I can choose any other bootable
partition.

Once you get the two systems installed, hope this is a help.

Thanks to everyone who replied to this (I got some e-mail as well as the

The CDs mentioned were:

* Mensys's FixPak CD -- US$11.73
  http://www.mensys.nl/mb12.html

* Indelible Blue's Warp Up! -- US$19
  http://service.indelible-blue.com/warpup/

* IBM's Software Choice service (includes CDs) -- expensive

and someone offered to print me a custom CD.

I think I'll probably go with Indelible Blue's CD.

Doesn't work on the one here at work, either.  OTOH, the one at work
here (using a Madge token ring card) _does_ record the IRQ info in
LANTRAN.LOG (whereas the NIC in my home PC doesn't do that).

Doesn't look like there's any sure-fire way of getting it...

From the messages you appear to have a bad version
of the NPDI.DLL plugin, or perhaps npfimri.dll.

You can try removing these from the plugins directory
and see if that allows you to start netscape. They
are placed in the plugins directory when you run
fisetup.exe (This is the feature installer).

I cannot quite understand whether someone has solved this tcpip notebook
writing. I bought os2 warp 4 'upgrade' few days ago and spent several
hours
to perform a connection without results.
at this point, I wonder if a sort of conclusion can be done
for instance by you, Lorne Sunley.
my data are:
-- provider:    paris.cybercable.fr
-- DNS:         212.198.0.66   &    212.198.0.67
-- e-mail:      mcreiss@cybercable.fr
-- dynamic IP:  212.198.187.45   lease for 48 hours minimum
-- os2 warp 4   no frills, no upgrade even no 'Y2K'
-- sometimes paris.cybercable.fr is read 
                d45.paris-187.cybercable.fr
          I tried both in the icpip notebook without results
-- ethernet card: SN2000 well recognized with its os2 driver
-- no network other than this cable modem, at this time,
        and I am using an independent computer (obviously)(linux)
Thank you, Lorne,to write a tcpip notebook example for everybody use

I think you should do either one or the other of these but not _both_. The

Subj: Re: Problems with CD-RW and Adaptec AIC7890 SCSI

From: my name <cmheight@erols.com>

hi Ron,
    I had a similar problem with Yamaha 2200 series CD-RW.  I bought an
internal scsi
writer and made it an external writer.  I am using the Adaptec 2940UW,
initally I
could not get it to work, it was terminated and everything.  What I didn't
know is
that the connection on the drive is scsi-2 and the 2940 is scsi-3.  SCSI-2 and 
SCSI-3
use completely different types of termination.  Anyway,  I had to use an
external
teminator instead of the one on the drive.  Also, on the external box I have
scsi-3
connections.  Anyway this may help.  Hope it works.

Subj: LPT3: - de-assign IRQ 5

From: "MERCIER" <mercierb@wanadoo.be>

Hello,

I just installed Warp Connect, which runs fine. I want to use my modem,
which is set to IRQ 5. I have to leave this. As the modem didn't function;
I discovered an IRQ conflict.
In fact, logical port lpt3: has installed automatically on IRQ 5.
Browsing through config sys, I rem'med out the PRANDIS device.
Lpt3: was gone, but lpt2: had installed itself on IRQ 5 now.

How can I de-assign IRQ 5 from lpt2: (or even delete logical port lpt2:)?
Browsing through the help books didn't give ma an answer.

I appreciate any help, regards, Bernard

Subj: server wont boot - please help novice!!

From: "Mike Dent" <Mikedent@tesco.net>

Please help an o/s2 1.3 novice !!!

We have an old server running o/s 2 1.3 at work which has errored since a
power cut last weekend..

The server will not boot to the hard drive - it produces an error relating
to a memory address ?? It will boot to a emergency floppy and once the c:
drive has been ChkDsk'd it is accessible and all the files can be seen.

I have tried "remming" all commands in the config.sys and autoexec.bat
hoping  the server will boot to c: prompt like dos but it doesnt. So I
therefore presume it may be the system files or corrupt hpfs system - ??

I admit this is the first time I have come across O/S 2 and I really havent
a clue how it works compared to win95 and dos.

Is there any way to get this beast up and running again either by copying
system files from the boot disk or by reinstalling the operating system over
the top and retaining the data already present.


Please help a desperate man !!!!


Many thanks

Mike..

	Hmmm, really don't know since it seems to work perfectly here.  ;-)

Hi all.

I'm trying again to get Pronews to send email replies, and no matter 
what setting I try the damn thing won't do it. MR2/ICE will send email
with no problems. All I get with Pronews is:
"mail server error: user unknown" - which looks to me as if the ISP's 
mail server is not getting some setting required. But what? I'm 
testing in a *test ng, and using only real email 
addresses (no no-spam ones). The only difference with MR2 is that, as 
it's both email and news in one package, it has a field for user ID - 
Pronews doesn't have this. 

How do other people get Pronews to send email??

In my humble opinion...

Yeah OS/2 is good (I use it), and I have heard great things about
NextStep/OpenStep. And yeah Linux still takes work (I believe).

However I think that neither OS/2 nor NextStep/OpenStep have much of a
future on the desktop, whereas Linux does. If Corel keeps to their word,
and release Perfect Office and Corel Draw, and if they are good ports,
and if there is some decent publicity, then the Linux scene will very
much change for the better. Given Corel's release of WordPerfect for
Linux, these events are not unlikely, and not far off.

And there is a big change due shortly for NT too (ie. Windows 2000).
Since Microsoft seems eager to capture the server market (with Active
Directory), it would have been my guess that they would go out of their
way to make it more difficult for Windows NT to co-exist in
heterogeneous environments (which would make for a thoroughly unpleasant
experience for anyone having to deal with NT). But then there's that
recent ruling, so they could well concentrate on the consumer's best
interests.

Not that I really know enough to talk authoritatively about any of this.
But I think it is reasonable to say that there could well be some big
changes in the coming year. Ask the same question in about 6 months.

From: kadurvin@calcna.ab <add .ca to the end for address>

I have a Compaq notebook that has a bay for either the CD-ROM or the
floppy, but not both.  But the problem I am going to have with installing
OS/2 Warp 4 on it is the floppy drive no longer works.  Is there and way I
can copy the boot disk files to the hard drive or something so that I can
install Warp on it?  The CD-ROM works fine and it has a net card so I can
do a remote install, if that helps.

Any ideas?

I'd have a pretty hard time trusting a site like this when a fair whack
of their budget comes from advertising by the companies that make the
products they're trying to review.

This thread is being broadcast on a large number of threads many of which are
probably not appropriate but one of the most obvious which is,
comp.os.os2.com,
is not among them.

Anyway, you didn't mention if your modem is PNP or not. I have a 3Com/USR
Internet Fax modem (Not Voice) and it works fine as a PNP modem with the CMOS
PNP
enabled. If yours is PNP, see the readme file that is in the root directory of
your boot drive (section 6) for instructions.

It should be. You need to modify the install diskettes to enable PCMCIA
support and also add the specific driver for the SCSI card itself. For the
Adaptec 1460 you need AHA152X.ADD I think. You also want 

basedev=pcmcia.sys /p
basedev=ss2pcic1.sys (change according to the specific PCMCIA chipset
involved)

This lot should be found within the bundled files on the CD if they don't
exist on the diskette already. Do a DIR /S looking for a file called
PCMCIA and run UNPACK /SHOW against it.

Are you saying to delete the 5 GB partition or the 3 GB partition?
If I delete the 3 GB partition I will get rid of Win 98, which I don't want to

My mistake, I meant the 5 gig uncommitted patition. I should
read what I type more carefully.

If you set up a 5 gig partition with Win 98 it will always use
the FAT32X type and OS/2's FDISK doesn't know what
that is and will not do anything with it. 

That's why you have to delete the 5 gig partition with
the Windows 98 FDISK. That will leave 5 gig of free
space that can be allocated using OS/2's FDISK.

Hi guys,

I have a weird problem, 1-2-3, Approach,
and Freelance, all sotp working together
(I mean at about the same time), and all
have a different symptom:

1-2-3 can't find a DLL, that is there 
(as is always was)

Approach can't go any further than 
trying to load the startup  window (the 
one with the most recently opened files)

Freelance is saying that I'm out of 
memory (128Mb RAM)

I tried to re-install to whole suite, 
after the re-installation everything was
working fine, I had to re-boot, so I did
a normal shutdown and all three program 
began to behave as before I re-installed

BTW. Approach is complaning about 
PMMERGE.DLL, which is the that ship with
FP12, and was working before last week

Did this all break AFTER FP12 was installed?

If so, you were one of the many bitten by FP12...IBM's last great attempt
to kill off OS/2.

I think I know what happened to you though.  You have multiple problems. 
The first is FP12.  The second is that, one way or another, you had to
hard kill your box.  In doing such, one of the DLL's Lotus uses got
corrupted.  (Approach on my notebook has that problem eventhough I have
NEVER loaded it to do anything, yet WordPro runs perfectly eventhough it
has been open many many many times when FP12's wonderfull printer driver
caused me to have to hard boot.)

Boot from utility floppies created PRE FP12.  Run CHKDSK C: /F:2    Do
this twice.  Watch your error messages.  You should see one or more DLL
files in the Lotus directory tree get set to zero block size.  Corrupted
allocation entries in HPFS have a weird way of surfacing.  DLL's appear to
be fine when doing a directory, but internally they are zero blocks in
size after corruption.

Subj: Install woes with WARP GA

From: Jordan Krim <jkrim@ecrix.com>

I am trying to install WARP GA (3.0).  I have an HPFS partition located
on a hard
disk after Win98 and Boot Manager at approximately 3 GB into the drive.
The install goes OK, until the reboot after disk #1 and then I get a
blank screen with the cursor blinking in the corner.  The little white
square with OS/2 never happens.  Any thoughts?

4 CDs for Warp 4? I installed it from one (a long time ago), and I do not
think you need anything more. The others are extras you can add after
installation if you want them.

I guess this must be a poor translation. You need three diskettes and one CD
to do the installation. The bootable diskette should be labeled "Installation
diskette", and I suppose that is the one the system is asking for. The others
are "Diskette 1" and "Diskette 2". Unless there is a problem with your
hardware, this should be what you boot from after the drive has been prepared
for installation by FDISK. Do NOT choose "easy installation" or whatever it is
called. Make a suitable boot partition (some 200-300 MB) and format it as
HPFS, leave the rest of the drive as one partition for data and applications
(also to be formatted as HPFS).

If the CD-ROM drive is not supported out of the box, or if the disk you
install to is not a SCSI drive and bigger than 2GB, you will need to get one
or more updated device drivers. The Warp 4 install program has been known to
give wrong error messages when it cannot deal with the disk or CD-ROM drives.

Hi again!

No, I think you are on target, however, you medicine does not work.
I used the eabrowser, and noticed, just as you suggested, that the
"Temporary Desktop" was of class WPDesktop. I removed it, and now only the
Desktop is of class WPDesktop. I have run checkini but that does not 
change anything ("checkini /C /DC:\Desktop"). Any further ideas? 
Anything to change in os2.ini or os2sys.ini with initor or any such program?

Thanks,

/ Jan

If you have SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 set in CONFIG.SYS then it will ask for
the first two diskettes to be reinserted at the end of the first phase of
the install. This is so that it can copy the updated drivers from them to
the HD. If memory serves it asks for them in reverse order, so diskette #1
then #0 (aka the install diskette).

Subj: I cant Install Warp 4   HELP !!!!

From: "jonas persson" <jonas@ipab.se>

Hello.

I have a ACER TRAVELMATE 517TE notebook.
When I try to install OS/2 WARP 4 it just hangs after
inserted 2:nd floppy. It hangs after a while with that blue "WARP"
logo-screen still on. Seems it cant access the hard-drive or something
like that.

What am I doing wrong?  How to solve this?

Please email me if you have any suggestions at  jonas@ipab.se

Thanks,
Jonas Persson

Trevor,

You are a genius!  I was about ready to give up, but your fix worked great!
I rebooted and OS/2 came up and completed the installation.  Now on to a

Verify that you're using CHECKINI version 2.45 (Nove  3 1999)

If you run CHECKINI /C it will tell you whether it can or can not find the 
Desktop, and if it can't it will tell you to use the /D option.

Then, if you use the /D option, you should wait a bit after CHECKINI 
closes, to allow the changed EAs to be written to disk, then do a reboot. 
You may or may not be able to do an OS/2 Shutdown, depending on the state 
of your system, so you must be very patient about giving the system time to
record onto disk this change, before rebooting with C-A-D.

If the Temporary Desktop window comes back up, run CHECKINI /C to find out 
if CHECKINI feels the IDs have been corrected. If it starts up normally, it
will give you the option of restoring lost objects. When this happens, I 
usually Ctrl-Break out of CHECKINI and restart it as CHECKINI /Y:2, to save
entering a lot of keystrokes. Very often, the next reboot will bring the 
good old desktop back up the way you want it.



Some people suggest making sure there is this entry in CONFIG.SYS:

SET DESKTOP=C:\DESKTOP

but I've never found it to help, and have run systems for a long time 
without it. I feel it might even cover up some other problems, temporarily,
so I'm more comfortable without it.




>Any further ideas? 
> Anything to change in os2.ini or os2sys.ini with initor or any such program?

Very dangerous. I don't believe there is enough documentation outside IBM 
to allow these complicated restorations to be made with direct INI editing.
Let CHECKINI do it for you, since Henk makes it create a complete database 
of entries to examine for inconsistencies, to be sure of restoring 
everything in a consistent, usable fashion.


By the way, at this point you might want to begin with an output log by 
running 

CHECKINI /W:3 /S

and examining the resultant CHECKINI.LOG for the <WP_DESKTOP> string. You 
should have something similar to these two lines, somewhere:

Folder : 5285F Class WPDesktop <WP_DESKTOP> - C:\DESKTOP     [line 412 in 
mine]

and

<WP_DESKTOP>    points to 5285F - C:\DESKTOP                 [line 3202 in 
mine]


All else fails, write to Henk directly, or copy a followup to him at the 
email address listed in his documentation. But, as always when asking for 
this kind of help from a programmer, make sure you're using his latest 
version, and make sure you've read all the documentation that it comes 
with, or is posted on their website. Henk's documentation is especially 
well written, though I don't believe English is his mother tongue, and 
there's a lot of useful help published in there already.

The IDE driver probably isn't compatible with your disk controller. 
Replace the IBM1s506.ADD driver with the DANIS506.ADD driver available

Hi,

When the OS/2 Logo in the upper left corner appears appears during boot, 
(after Bios msgs.): Press ALT-F2. This will show the drivers loading, 
which will give you an idea, which driver made teh trouble.

	That should not make one drop of a difference.  The CSE and CXI

It means that something went wrong when the system should have been 
fixing up any files that could not be replaced, or removed, when you 
did the update. 

There are two things that might have happened. One, the files were 
replaced, but the driver line was not removed from CONFIG.SYS. Two, 
the system did not set up the file replace stuff properly, and the 
replace was never done, or is hanging. 

In either case, the locked file device driver got left in CONFIG.SYS, 
and needs to be removed. Boot from your UTILITY diskettes (or BootOS2 
diskettes, or even the OS/2 install diskettes), to get to a command 
line. Then use TEDIT to remove the "DEVICE=<something about lock>.SYS"
from the CONFIG.SYS file. Then, you may, need to reinstall JAVA 1.1.8 
in order to get this to work properly. There may be some other left 
over stuff that needs to be removed, before you can fully recover.

Hope this helps...

Subj: Putting an OS/2 HDD into a Win98 machine

From: Nick Rennie <nrennie@ihug.co.nz>

Hi there,
I currently have two computers - one with Win98, one with Win98 & OS/2
on it, on separate hard drives (2 drives, not one partitioned drive).
I want to move the OS/2 drive to the Win98 only machine (its the newer
one) so I can sell the other computer.  I need OS/2 for some work
programs and having it on a separate drive to Win98 is really a must for
me.
Is it possible to just swap the drive over and use a dual boot program
to choose which OS to boot? Can anyone forsee any difficulties I might
have?

Many thanks,
Nick Rennie

Subj: scsi install 101

From: fritzo@humboldt.net(Fritz Oppliger)

Trying to "quickly throw" a warp3 installation onto this box...

BLANK HD
install disk, disk 1(...11), Warp3 CD
SCSI CDROM.

The installation procedure never seems to see the CDrom. At floppy #3 I
get a trap0d. 

How /when should it switch to SCSI CDROM?

Any hints appreciated...

Subj: Can't run xf86config for Xfree86

From: Jordan Krim <jkrim@ecrix.com>

I can't run xf86config for Xfree86 under OS/2.  When I run it, I get:
xf86config-> emxlibcm.1370 is in error.  I downloaded emxfix04.zip and
thought that I had added emx to my paths.  Any ideas?

Did you have the installer modify CONFIG.SYS?  Specifically, are the 
correct entries in your PATH and LIBPATH statements?

You have still outdated EMX software in your libpath. Install the
most recent version and remove obsolete DLLs.

AFAIK fixpack 6 is enough for Y2K.
My personal favourite fixpack is #9. 
Never had a system so stable as with fixpack9.

Good luck, may the force be with you.

I had trouble installing after FP12 to.   I had to uninstall SmartSuite,
and then edit the config.sys because something was left. I don't remember
what. Then I ran Checkini, booted and reinsalled.

Subj: OS/2 Warp 4 Install on Thinkpad 365XD

From: "Richard W. Lair II" <richlair@netscape.net>

OS/2 Mavens - 
	Trying to install OS/2 W4 on a used Thinkpad 365XD. Used
Thinkpad, used set of diskettes and CD-ROM in a box fm a dealer,
with hd formatted to erase previous o/s (Win95). Pent 133,
16 MB RAM, 1.3 GB hd, built in CD-ROM, ext floppy. I can make it all 
the way thru the install and selecting harware/options. When I do the
final reboot that should bring up OS/2 W4, I get the OS/2 blob, then
the blue OS/2 Warp logo screen, then the screen goes black, then I
get a message, "The locked file device driver isriver is loaded."
After this can't use C-A-D to reboot, have to power down and back up.
Also, the hd access light comes on and stays on. It looks like there
are 2 cursors, and all text more than about 30 characters starts
having doubled words. I can power down, then during startup when I 
see the OS/2 blob, I can hit A-F1 then F2 and get a command line, but
the ghostly dual cursors are still there. Have tried about 10 different
variations of install (various partitions, HPFS, FAT16, some of both) to
no avail. Tried running cdinst.cmd, but when it says to put the
diskettes
in and hit enter, nothing happens. Is this something Big Blue did to
cut down on piracy? I have a receipt from the shop where I bought the 
software, and I've called IBM - they've never heard of this problem
before, but they will be glad to help me troubleshoot it! At $210USD
per hour! BTW, what should be the correct video driver for this 
Thinkpad? Seems like it maxes out at about 800x600, 32K colors.
Any and all comments/suggestions are welcome.

Hi Rich,

there used to be a package at the IBM web site (laptops) with
an OBI for the TP 365xd (One Button Install). You can/could d/l it for
free. What it does is: It makes for the hardware a set of customized
install diskettes with the right video, disk, etc. drivers on them, and
then installs using your install CD ROM.

This is how I got mine installed, and it really was painless once it was
doing its thing. I have the 365xd 120 MHz 10.4 TFT model with initially
810 MB (now 4 GB and too small ...) and 40 MB RAM. When I installed it
it had ... 8 MB RAM. 

It worked so well that I bought another one for my sister, and that so
far I have a hard time justifying getting a new one ... On the second
TP, with an older 810 MB disk, I had to go back to the ide506 driver
(which defaulted then to non-busmaster mode) instead of the faster
piixide (or so) one, but that's it. All disks since busmastered just
fine.

If you can't find the OBI thing in the IBM laptop driver matrix pages,
send me email. I kept it somewhere.

Check with the web page for the model, it differs for each model. My TFT
one has 800x600@64k colours, but I run it at 256 normally for speed. I
understand that back then the DSTN display maxed out at 256 colours. But
I may be off.

From: dcasey@ibm.net (Dan Casey)

Have you been to the Thinkpad Device Driver site and downloaded all of
the OS/2 drivers for this machine?

http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/support/thinkpad/tpopsys.html

Click on the link to the 365 series and you'll find that most all of
the  features of this model are supported in OS/2.

I don't know if there are any specific drivers needed (such as to
access the floppy drive), but if there are, they'll be on this site.

You'll need to, at the least, install with plain VGA as the video,
then install the Video Drivers that are available from the above
referenced site.  This should get rid of the video problems you are
seeing.

As to Anti-Piracy .... no, there is no reason that you should not be
able to create a new set of install diskettes from the CD.

Someone else may be able to post regarding that particular
problem, but generally for installing on ThinkPads you need
to do a bit of diskette/driver tweaking.  Have a look at

  http://www.os2ss.com/users/DrMartinus/Notebook.htm

It's a bit busy-looking but if you click around you should
find an installation guide for that TP.

Subj: Scanimage w/HP 6200C not working

From: sk8ndude-nospam-@erols.com (John Rodriguez)

Hello,

I've installed XFree86 on my OS/2 system along with GIMP and SANE.  
I'm trying to use scanimage but I'm not having much luck. If I type:

scanimage -d hp > test.pnm

I get:

SYS1808:
The process has stopped.  The software diagnostic code is (exception 
code) 0005.

One time, my scanner actually moved for a split second, and the file 
test.pnm was crated, but empty.  I'm using a TWAIN driver from CFM for
OS/2 and that works fine, I've been scanning for months that way.  Do 
I need to take out the TWAIN driver, or can both these setups coexist?
 Is anyone successfully using and HP6200 scanner with SANE?  

Here are my system details:

SANE version: SANE 1.01 for OS/2 build 1 

ASPIROUT.SYS   Version 1.01  June 1997

Subj: Does FIXPAK 12 include previous fixpaks

From: "J. Ken Zur" <kenzur@swbell.net>

I'm having problems getting my internet connection working under Warp 4. I
was told to install fixpak 12, which did not fix the problem. Question -
Does FP12 include all the earlier FP's? Do I need file/print sharing
installed to access the internet? Shouldn't I have some form of LAN
software? Microsoft has "client for MS networks", what does OS/2 use?

Any and all help appreciated.

No.  That's for peer connection.  You needed TCP-IP.

Do a start and at the white box [OS/2 WARP]  in the left upper corner of the

that
loads one device at a time and see what fails.  That may help.

running on this box - it has a Creative Labs Sound Blaster PCI 128 card in
it and I have not been able to locate any info on getting it running as

fine.

Anyone have any pointers or suggestions?

Did you ever get your boot problems resolved?

Incidentally... you don't say which device the above definition is for.  I'll
assume it's for your CD-RW device.

Well this is certainly not realistic, although I'd bet the Adaptec card/chip
and device would figure things out.

But normally, a CD (and CD-RW) drive is only a 10MB max transfer rate.  If you
had an Ultra CD drive (e.g. from Plextor) that would go up to 20MB.  Plextor
even makes an Ultra-Wide CD now (which would go up to 40MB).  I've got 10MB
set on my real 2940U2W for my Plextor 8X/20X CD-R drive.

Also, there's no point in initiating Wide Negotiation if the device can't
support it... so mine is set to NO.


So... any more progress?

I doubt that this will help you but I found a solution to one aspect of
running two audio cards with windozes98 and OS/2 (W31 and Linux too).

I have two sets of amplified speakers.  So I can use to two output lines
(front and rear) of a SoundBlaster Live under W98.  I use a PAS16 for
OS/2. The problem was playing audio CD's under the different os's.

Solution: My CDROM has a digital out and an analog out.  I use the
digital out for the SBLive and the analog out for the PAS16.

Does anybody know if these will work with an ATI Xpert98?  Currently
using GRADD .8 which are OK but slow.

Good luck, unless it comes with OS/2 drivers you are
out of luck.  There are very few PCI devices that
comes with them.

Creative released the source code to the Linux SB:Live drivers so it 
should be possible to port it to OS/2.  Any volunteers?

You can find where the old dll is if you lost track of it via using
pstat:

pstat /l | more

if you have unix utils on your machine even easier is:

pstat /l | fgrep EMX

Also, if you have "go" installed , you can use it

go -ml         and look for entries that refer to EMX dlls
               all these methods will tell you the full path
              to your dlls.

Well, Boot Manager would need to go at the beginning of your Win98 
drive.  So Partition Magic would be useful for that.  If each drive 
has one partition then there won't be any problems with drive letters.
