Jean, The TMC-845 board should work fine with the OS2 2.x driver, FD8xx.ADD. This driver does require a hardware IRQ for the adapter. The board can use either IRQ 3 or 5. If there is another device in the system configured for the same IRQ, the system will not work correctly. It is not possible to share an IRQ. Most systems reserve IRQ 5 for a secondary printer (LPT-2). Although it is normally reserver by a jumper setting on the I/O card, DOS does not normally use the IRQ for a printer. I am not sure if OS2 requires an IRQ for a printer. Another thing you should be aware of is the non standard external port on the TMC-845. If the drive you plan to use in an external unit, you will need to get an external cable from Future Domain. The part number for this cable is HCA-108. Hope this information is usefull. If you have any further question, feel free to ask. Rob.
