OS/2 problems? Where do I start?
Well, first off, I can't be too hard on it because when it worked it
was great! The problems I did have included CD-ROM, SVGA,
unrecognized .EXE files, no device drivers, etc, etc.
I tried V2.1, but found that it won't run off my SCSI board (AIC 6360)
– which is basically the same as a Adaptec 1522 but, still, no go.
Big system hang ven before the config.sys file. The work around was
to use a generic IBM device driver, but then I would lose all use of
my CD-ROM.
So I gave up. When I spend more time dicking around with the operating
system than I do working, I know it's time to go back to go old
boring DOS. At least it works (most of the time).
I'm now looking forward to Windows 4.0, hoping for the smae power of
OS/2 (read co-operative multitasking). You're right – being able to
render and go off somewhere else is a dream… Maybe next year <g>
