- Help! I just got in three ValuePoint 486SX's, 8MB RAM with
- OS/2 pre-loaded. I've never tried OS2 before, so I thought
- I'd see if we could get them set up as Novell network 3.11
- workstations. I dropped in an SMC card, fired up a VDM (after
- playing around a little) and BOOM! - it works like a charm.
- Even does TCP/IP, no problem.
-
- However, the whole point of OS2 is multitasking, right? So, I'll
- need to set up this puppy on the desktop. I pulled out the Novell
- manual and my disk set, found OS2 Workstation Services v1.3 Requestor
- disk, and tried an install. The installation program doesn't look
- like the manual said it should, but life's like that sometimes.
- It says I need to re-boot. So I do.
-
- BUST! It gets past the OS2 entry logo, loads the drivers correctly
- (I assume - the screen stops when the drivers aren't found, but scrolls
- by like a madman when they are, so I really don't know if there are any
- other messages) and gives me:
-
- Trap 000d
-
- followed by what looks like a register dump, followed by:
-
- "The system detected an internal processing error at location
- ##0160:fff64584 - 000d,9584
-
- 60000,9084
-
- 048600b4
- Internal revision 6.427 92/06/03"
-
- This happens whether I use the SMC card with it's driver or the Thomas
- Conrad with the NE2000 generic driver that comes with OS2. Both cards
- have been set at I/O 300 IRQ 3, and I/O 340 IRQ 5, no soap. I noticed
- that the files on the Requestor disk are all stamped 2/92 or before
- i.e. this thing is a pre-2.0 release.
-
- Do I need a newer version of the Requestor? Novell won't talk to me
- for less than $150/hr, and my vendor hasn't gotten back to me yet.
- If so, is this thing ftp'able, and from where? If not, what am I
- screwing up?
-
- I would truly hate to set these machines up as DOS boxes (I have
- religious objections to Windoze - it's a God-forsaken piece of software :)
- but I have a tough time justifying 40 MB of HD space for a VDM launcher.
- Any help is gratefully appreciated.
