- SIO034.ZIP contains the SIO034 beta drivers. These drivers
- replace the COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS that you currently have
- loaded. From what I recall in the documentation accompanying
- the drivers, the author did not include comm code that most
- people don't need and that hampers the COM/VCOM drivers
- performance. Also, DOS programs see a virtualized 16550
- (assuming you have one on your system).
-
- OS2SPEED.ZIP cotains a TSR that makes DOS programs that are
- Deskview aware, "OS/2 aware." This results in a DOS program
- not eatting up tons of CPU time doing things like polling the
- keyboard for input.
-
- Both are at "ftp-os2.nmsu.edu". I assume the SIO034 drivers
- have been moved out of "uploads" by now and reside in
- "drivers" or "new". Check under "/pub/os2/2.0/". Use the
- index file if you have problems finding either of the
- programs.
