I recently installed a new Asus M2N-E mobo, but OS/2 can't find LPT1.
It's enabled in the BIOS at IRQ7, 378, etc. but I can't print to it nor
does it show up with rmview /irq. I've tried various settings ("normal"
ECP, EPP, and bi-directional are the choices available), but no soap.
Google didn't return any threads about this problem. Have I missed
something simple?
TIA,
Pete

Wow, I saw this post and I honestly thought Google Groups was broken
and was showing me posts from 2001 as new.
It's hard to even take this post seriously, but for the sake of
argument I'll entertain the idea of someone in 2008 preferring Windows
98 to XP.

Does anyone have a trick for using the last Danis506 drivers in place of
the IBM driver? Or is it something that can not be done?
-- I have a
Thinkpad with a SATA hard drive, and I could make the last of the IBM
drivers work, nor the latest Dani.
TIA

It might be worth your while to subscribe to comp.os.os2.ecomstation as
well.
>I hope version 3 is as great.
IMHO you'd be better off buying an eComStation upgrade, which will get you
more current and save you a lot of downloading. The current OS/2 is Warp
4.52 and Serenity has added a lot on top of that.

Unless you still have older hardware you are likely to encounter some
difficulties installing OS/2 today. I would suggest you look at eCS,
which is a compendium of the final release of OS/2 with additions to allow
it to run on current hardware. Check here for information:

Good idea. I recommend that you look for a copy of Warp 4, or eCS. An
eCS demo CD is available free of charge (must burn you own CD). Plain
Warp 3 does not come with the TCP/IP connection unless your copy is Warp
3 Connect. If you need to find a copy of Warp 4 i can probably help.
