- I tried to do this (yes, I did consult your FAQ before posting), but the
- two disks wouldn't list any files in the partition. I'd have my E: prompt,
- do a DIR, nothing. The problem was definately in the SIO/VSIO drivers
- (the system would freeze once it initialized my COM3 when it ran the drivers
- in config.sys), why would I not be able to access the files?

-
- No, my SoundBlaster is on IRQ 2, well away from my mouse, modem and
- printer...the reason I ask is that all sound support in OS/2 works fine except
- for the applets specifically for OS/2...
- I had similar problems with the WinOS231 beta that came with the 2.00.1
- beta, but that works fine with 2.1...
