- I was pretty pleased to receive the latest Hardcard driver a couple of
- months ago, and merrily set to filling it up, with the swapfile amongst
- other things.
-
- After installing the service pack, the Hardcard does something seriously
- upsetting to OS/2 - which works fine with or without the most recent driver.
- When the driver is loaded but the Hardcard is not installed, the driver
- realizes, explains, and prompts me to carry on. All well and good.
-
- But when I install the Hardcard, _whether or not I use the driver_, OS/2
- bombs out in a big way with "cannot find C:\OS2\COUNTRY.SYS"!
-
- I've tried again and again, and I've tried the INT13 driver, apparently
- without effect.
-
- Any suggestions as to what to try next?
-
- Environment:
- Hawk (clone) 486SX-33
- MR BIOS
- 6Mb RAM (but the m/b only sees 4 :-()
- Seagate ST3144 (130Mb IDE)
- generic I/O
- Logitech bus mouse
- Trident TR8900C 1Mb
- NEC 1.4Mb floppy
- Plus Hardcard 80 II (sometimes :-()
- OS/2 2.0 GA (kernel and VBIOS fixes)+SP
- Trident 800*600*256 virtual desktop driver
- Deskpic (hey! the aquarium works!)
- Pulse
- etc etc etc...
