3DS OS2 Warp II
3 messages in this thread
To All:
I just got a copy of the new OS2 Warp II Beta 2.99 and to my amazement 3DS 3
does not load under a DOS session. Does anybody else tried this new OS2
release?
What are the session settings for the old 2.1-2.11 OS2 DOS VDM?
Regards,
Jeff
I haven't put WARP II on my 3DS machine yet, but I will do so ASAP, and try to
figure out why 3DS doesn't run – if it's not a major problem, I should be able
to get it fixed by the time it really ships.

Doug,
Since I am using the ATI Proturbo I experimented a little…it seems that when
I put DOS 6.2 back on (removed OS2) 3DS still would get internal error…I
reintalled 3DS and still did not work I then looked at the settings for the ATI
and the aperture setting was enabled…I disabled this and tried again…3DS
started no problem…it seems that the aperture setting causes 3DS to
ABEND…so I am going to install OS2 Warp II again and make sure that the
aperture is disabled. nontheless 3DS and/or the Vibrant drivers are wigged out.
Although 3DS works…I noticed a problem with the ATI drivers the ATI board has
a install advanced settings that allows you to configure for the type of
monitor…but when OS2 loads it does not use the refresh I set for the
resolution. This might be a limitation with the ATI HW…I wanted to use
1280x1024x16M at a refrsh of 72 76Hz but the max ATI supports is 60Hz…this
and the fact that I am using a 21" monitor causes a moire pattern at the edges
of the monitor…at a higher > 70Hz the moire is not there…neither is high
res at 16M colors.

Jeff
