  69.           runs in a VDM by itself.                                              
  70. .                                                                               
  71. Answer:   Logitech Scanman uses a DLL which makes a 4B                          
  72.           interrupt call.  This interrupt is not supported                      
  73.           under WINOS/2.  This interrupt is planned to be                       
  74.           supported in the next release of WINOS/2.  No

  79. .                                                                               
  80. Answer:   FOTOTOUCH uses the same DLL Logitech Scanman uses                     
  81.           which makes a 4B interrupt call.  This interrup is                    
  82.           not supported under WINOS/2.  It is planned to be

  91.           under WIN-OS/2.                                                       
  92. .                                                                               
  93. Answer:   Some Soundblaster and Soundblaster PRO                                
  94.           applications will work OK.  However, many                             
  95.           soundblaster applications have problems.  Most of                     
  96.           these problem applications try to use more than                       
  97.           1000 interrupts per second to generate sound.  The                    
  98.           Parrot program provided with soundblaster is one                      
  99.           of these problem applications.  Applications that                     
  100.           use DMA for sound generation instead of the                           
  101.           interrupt method will have a better chance of                         
  102.           running.  The 1000 interrupt per second problem is                    
  103.           being addressed.  Currently there are no work                         
  104.           arounds if you are experiencing problems with a

  109. Answer:   Some MIDI software and applications also                              
  110.           experience problems because of the 1000 interrupts                    
  111.           problem.  No workaround at this time.
