#NT The REAL Truth

Hi Bill,
<< It *seemed* that I got higher performance under NT. >>
Have you started to dig into the Performance Monitor. The NT Resouce Guide has
a chapter labelled " Zen and the art of performance monitoring..". Sounds like
it right up our alleys 🙂
Hi Jonas,

I have fooled around with the performance monitor a bit, but I don't have the
Resource Guide. However, the title seems appropriate from my experience <g>.
Geez, for a newcomer, it's really a huge chore just identifying & obtaining all
the necessary documents, updates & other info for NT. Barring one additional
rule-out test to do, I can definitely say that some on-line communications
types (such as WWW) are improved with NT vs my WIN 3.11 install. I have no idea
why. I haven't found a solution to Wacom PS, running my SCSI (non-TWAIN)
scanner, or my SCSI older Erasable Optical…..or making the drive letter
assignments match my existing DOS assignments (yes I can change them, but…).
However, I have managed to get EIDE, SCSI, & Proprietary devices all configured
along with MIDI & Wave I/O devices, plus the mouse/tablet & modem, printer,
etc..
With WIN 3.11, I gave up early on getting ALL this stuff running in a single
environment, running a multi-boot as needed. But, with NT it just happened to
work with a little coaxing. What's puzzling is I clearly have identifiable IRQ
conflicts, in some cases which NT points out, yet it works without problems
anyway ???
Puzzled but pleased,
BILL
