Hey Bailey
Well, I've had a different experience with OS/2 and that's weird, because our
setups don't sound too different.
The traps actuallt appear after a days work, whereas with you you get
them shortly after starting. Weird.
Also, I've been fighting to get my ADAPTEC 6360 SCSI board to work now
for a month. This is a hardware problem, but only shows up under
OS/2. My system plays the message "BIOS detected incompatible driver.
System halted." if I ever unrem the BASEDEV=AHA152x.ADD line in my
config, the SCSI intiallizer. I've tried setting the jumpers on the
board to differnt IRQs, but then I get the message in DOS. The only
one DOS will accept is IRQ 11. OS/2 hates them all. I've got a
message on OS2SUPPORT, but needless to say the system is severly
comprimised if I can't run my CD-ROM and FLOPTICAL drives under OS/2.
I really like the IDEA od multitasking, but the idea of buying a cheap
second machine to write on is looking better and better…
