- I'm currently running 1.99p9 on Warp Connect, and everything appears to be
- fine, including transparency between linux/Warp/DOS/Executor, CD-ROM
- accessibility etc., as per my last note to you. There does not appear to be any
- performance hit associated with p9, and from subjective observation p9 is
- running at least as well as p6 (I didn't really give p8 much of a go due to
- time limits :), if not better, especially reading the floppy drives.
-
- NisusWriter still won't install (let alone run!), but that's not a Warp
- problem. (Am I hanging out for the day when it *does* work!!!).
-
- The speakers go 'click' when E/D starts up on OS/2, which is thoroughly
- encouraging, and interesting considering that the OS/2-DOS SoundBlaster16
- installation hasn't been properly configured yet!
-
- The cd-rom drive is a bit slow to read, but the Linux partitions read via the
- OS/2 ext2fs driver are lightning fast in appearing - roll on the OS/2 version
- of Executor so that I can read long file names via Executor! I can see long
- file names on the Linux partiton via OS/2, but not via Executor.
-
- Speedometer also runs fully without breaking now, but I still can't switch
- between E/D and the Desktop without E/D snapping. Curiously, I can actually do
- this on another machine running E/D (in Demo mode) on Warp Connect with a
- Trident 8900D or similar card and out-of-the-box SVGA dirvers (this machine's
- got a #9 GXE64 Pro 2Mb with highly suspect drivers from #9).
-
- Cheers, Alex
