Subj: The ATI RAge Fury Pro card
From: "Richard Hinton" <rhinton@mediaone.net>
November 28, 1999
I stopped into a computer discounter yesterday and saw this ATI Rage Fury
Pro card with 32 megs of
video ram. I was curious if it ran in OS-2 version 4? I suspect it will
run in Win98, and maybe in Linux,
but not sure....
I stopped at the OS-2 device driver page and looked at thes "GRADD" drivers
which work on
the "RAGE" family of chips, among others, but don't know if that includes
the newest one...

This is not what has been widely reported in ngs. Only SOME
Athlon Mother Boards have had this trouble and of those that
did it appears to be those with BIOS within a certain date
range.

Have you triple checked your SCSI terminations? I seem to
recall reading a month or so ago someone with a problem like
this (but not on WSeB) which was a faulty cable.

Thank You Lorne, that did the trick.
I was able to install the drivers, rebooted and confirmed OS/2 regonized
the new drive.
Next I will try to record an Audio CD.
Thanks again for your help.

From: radu <radu_trm@yahoo.com>
This is from ATI's page:
"Technical Support has been informed by ATI Marketing that there are no plans
to develop Rage 128 drivers for OS/2.
The standard VGA driver provided with OS/2 itself should be installed when
using a Rage 128 based product."
ScitechSoft (http://www.scitechsoft.com/sdd_hrdw_os2.html) have support for
Rage 128 chip. You have to "try and buy" from Scitech or wait for IBM to
release the light version of the driver from Scitech (read more on this at
http://www.scitechsoft.com/in_press22.html )
In linux the card will only work with a X server from SUSE, not included in
the
std 3.3.5 distribution. As Holger Veit (the man who ported XFree86 to OS/2)
says, it will be included in 3.3.6. If it works with 3.3.6 standard distrib in
Linux, it will work with XFree86/2, too.

The YCRW4416S is fine with WSeB providing you have the latest flash update on
it (1.0h). I had problems when upgrading from Warp 4.0 to WSeB in that the
boot process wouldn't get past loading AIC78U2.ADD. Updating the firmware to
the latest level fixed the problem and it now works beautifully :)

Subj: fix pack installaton
From: "Ivan Tang" <itang@hkjc.org.hk>
Dear all,
I am trying to install an OS2 fix pack in the computers in our LAN. In order
to minimize the possible interpution to our users, I am using
the unattended mode and a response file to install the fix pack.
My question is: At the end of the installation, it prompts the users
to enter ctrl-alt-del to restart the computer. After rebooting
the PC, the fix pack installation program, fservice.exe, is still running. I
just wonder how to make this fservice.exe to terminated by
itself? I have read books about the CID installation, and found
that there is a key word "RebootRequired" could make the PC to restart
itself by adding it into the response file, but the
response file comes with the fix pack did not allow me to add such
word, what have I done wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Victor

From: ffitz@my-deja.com
If you search hard enough on deja.com, you'll see a long
history of posts about the ATI Rage Pro with OS/2. I
have a Dell with the ATI Rage Pro chipset on the mother-
board. For most applications, the GRADD drivers will
work fine, but there are some specific cases which will
result in black rectangles instead of some graphic
images. One case is the toolbar icons of IBM Visual C++
Visual Builder. There are some non-GRADD drivers out
there, but I never could get them to work at all. Even
in plain VGA mode, the black rectangle problem will occur.
YMMV.

Subj: RC5DES setup
From: "Roland Pinches" <Roland.Pinches@pmail.net>
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
My machine is a dual PII 400MHz system with WSeB and simply stated, it's not
doing much most of the time! I used to run the RC5DES program on my machine
at work (with a direct connection to the Internet) but since I'm not working
at the moment I thought I'd try and run it on my machine at home, however,
since I live in the UK, I have to pay for my time online :-(
I have InJoy 2.3 (Extended registration) so I have Dial-on-demand, and can
even get it working, trouble is, the RC5DES client seems to keep the
connection open and never allows InJoy to time out and hangup ie: I'm going
to have an expensive phone bill if I carry on like this :(
Can anyone suggest how to setup InJoy and RC5DES so that after a couple of
minutes idle time, the connection will close?
Seems a shame to waste all this processing power...
Cheers, Roly.

Not exactly the answer you wanted for your setup, I'm sure, but I
offer this idea as an alternative until the Injoy solution is solved.
One location that I'm at, I don't have a 'net connection but still do
the RC5 crunching. At the end of all the blocks, I simply exit the
RC5 program. You can then attach the buff-out.rc5 file to an E-mail
and send it to flush@distributed.net (it has to be MIME encoded to
work correctly, I believe). You'll got a response back from
distributed.net telling you if it was successful or not.
Then, you can send a second E-mail, this time to
fetch@distributed.net, with the body containing the line
'numblocks=100' (or how-ever many blocks you want). I grab a high
number of blocks so I don't have to do this whole E-mail bit too
often, but can still leave the computer happily crunching away in the
meantime. It works well for me.
Not a solution, but certainly an option.
Jeff.

You also really need to take your card out and identify exactly which
chipset and possibly BIOS is on the card. This can be done with
information from ATI's web site. They actually have nice pictures of
their various chipsets and detailed instructions on what identifying
numbers are important.
While drivers exist for ATI Rage mine is a ATI Rage Pro 3D and no
support. I know. I just tried the ATI Rage drivers on Hobbes.

RC5DES should close the connection after about 45 seconds (can't remember
the timeout value). Whatever it is that's doing this it isn't that.
Perhaps you should look at running a perproxy on your own machine.

I have made a 'manual' instance of InJoy thus:
Open InJoy. Click on New. Name for ex. Def Org and Save.
Open your DOD-InJoy and without making changes Save as Default.
Click on New. Name for ex. Manual - in the DOD-section remove the x's and then
Save.
When time to update, start your manual InJoy, then stop Rc5DES with Ctl-C, and
give the command: RC5DES -update. Then restart RC5DES and stop InJoy.
It usually lasts around 22 seconds in my case.
good luck

How's it going?
I've just got my Yamaha CRW6416S and it refuses to work. This is the only
internal SCSI device (ID=3)
on my Adaptec 2940. It has two external devices, JAZZ(ID=2) and UMAX Astra
1220S(ID=5) working OK.
Terminator is on, parity is on.
Any ideas?

Hi Nick, So for so good.
The installation went well and added just two lines in config.sys.
BASEDEV=FLASHPT.ADD
BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
I have a Mylex/Buslogic (SCSI-2 BT-930R), with auto termination enabled
and the Yamaha CDRW is the only device; is installed with the factory
settings.
I am not familiar with your card, but I think your card had to be
terminated since your previously installed devices were external ones.
Now that you've installed an internal device check that your card is no
longer terminated. That could be it.
Thanks.

From: Peter Hinckley <58emc1@concentric.net>
I have v4 fixpak 10 using an ASUS P2L97 motherboard with an ASUS PCI-SC200
card. I've had no problems using RSJ CDWriter with a Yamaha 4416 internal
SCSI CD-recorder. RSJ rems out IBMIDECD.FLT and substitutes is own
RSJIDECD.FLT. I did have to get a new CD drive (IDE, seondary master) in
order to transfer audio tracks because my older CD was an 8x TEAC drive, which
won't work transferring audio tracks. My new CD is an ACER 50x. On boot up,
the CD-recorder will be changed to "WORM".
Hope some of this helps.

A few questions first.
When you boot, if you enter the Adaptec BIOS setup
(some magic key cmobination that gets shown on the
screen during boot) does it show the drive OK?
Since you have the scanner and Jazz working OK, then
you should be OK regarding the SCSI drivers.
Do you have os2cdrom.dmd in your comfig.sys? If so,
try it with the /V option (default is /Q), and watch
during boot up, it should show a copyright message and
a list of the CD devices it detects (manufaturer and
device identifier).
Do you have any other OSes on the machine? If you
do, are they able to see the drive?
Otherwise, as a previous poster, check the termination
is correct.
Regards
Paul

Win98. Same story. The drive is visible, but error messages pop up.
