Hi there! I've been trying to get OS/2 (2.1) to work on my system and am so far having very limited success. Bailey if you're listening feel free to jump in. <g> 3DS loads _very slow_ and last night it didn't want to load at all after a few tries. When it did start it had only 2.9 Mb of Mem available to it. I have set the DPMI_MEM_ Limit to 64Mb but get no change in what's available to 3DS. I've got a Diamond Speedstar 24 / 32Mb Ram / 486/66 / Compaq 6260 SCSI-II controller which is actually an Adapted 1520 – which OS/2 sees as such. But I also keep getting a sector error on the SCSI HD. It worked fine with the DOS drivers – no problems at all. But OS/2 keeps giving me secor errors and I can retry the command and it works. Also, my windows apps don't seem to function. I can launch Word and it doesn't seem to do anything – but then if I shut down OS/2 it says word is running although I can't see it as an open app by doing a CTRL-ESC. Any ideas anyone. Could someone give me all the DOS Session settings for 3DS? Also, if you would be so kind as to leave any replies to 71561,2343 – I'm calling from work right now and this is my work account and don't use this one too much. If it's a pain just reply to this address and I will still get it. Thanks much for any help. Dave Mennenoh
