- I am still unable to background transfer with OS/2 2.0. I am
- running a 486/33 with 8 megs of memory, a soundblaster configured on
- interrupt 2, an IDE drive and adapter, a microsoft serial mouse, and a
- Boca Research 14.4k modem (has a 16450 :( ). I know that a 16550 is
- much better in a multitasking environment, but I am having no luck at
- all. I have tried Commo with IDLE_SECONDS at 10 and IDLE_SENSITIVITY
- at 100. I have tried TE/2. Both appear to work fine, and will
- download OK if I don't leave their full screen sessions. However, any
- attempt to do something else will result in an aborted/trashed
- transfer -- I notice it when I return. Anybody got any clue to this
- one? The mouse and modem use work fine otherwise; I don't suspect a
- conflict ( maybe I should?). This is the only remaining problem I am
- having with OS/2.
-
- And does anyone know if the Boca can be upgraded to a 16550?
-
- thanks in advance
