Julian, I have a T60 - Core Duo, both processors enabled; eCS 2.0 RC2; SeaMonkey 1.1.3; PMMail/2; RSJ 6.01; and a few other misc. packages. Generally, everything is working OK, except as indicatd below. See specific inserted comments below. I have a few issues with ACPI 3.2, but the developers are [I believe] working on understanding the problems and trying to create fixes. I have not tried 3.3 yet. On the To-Do list. SOUND - NONE at this point. Good news: You MUST have the Integrated WinModem ENABLED in the BIOS to get any sound at all. Bad news: Do NOT enable System Sounds. Boot will not complete. Do NOT try to play more than ONE sound. The second attempt will lock the system tighter than a drum! Again, UniAud developers are aware of the problem. I expect a fix at some point, but no date known. Carl On Wed, 03 Oct 2007 20:39:17 -0400, Julian Thomas wrote: >1.

Probably not a problem with the install. You probably just do not have: * The latest Dani drivers * Be sure you have enough devices specified. Since I have the Advanced Dock which has extra USB ports, I use the following in Config.Sys: BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBD.SYS BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:8 /FLOPPIES:1 Pay special attention to the REMOVABLES and the number of USBUHCD.SYS statements. > >ALso, I installed (warpin) the fat32 IFS, but on bootup it fails to find >the D: partition which was created by XP as Fat32.

I have: Driver level: "Experimental Version 2.1 built Jun 28 2007 13:08:10" Adapters: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection [8086:4227] Intel PRO/1000 PL Network Connection [8086:109A] Be sure to specify OPTIONS = "NATIVE" for PRO/1000 > >Right now, the next orders of business, after I get more necessary >programs moved over, is: > >- Fix USB so that I can see the thumb drives > >- FIX Fat32 so that I can see the D drive, so that I can interchange with >the XP environment > >- Try the latest genmac to see if it will help with either of the built-in >adapters. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com>.
