Booting NT while the first partition is not FAT or NTFS is very
difficult. Get kBootmanager (from leo I believe) and read the tech info.
I managed to get it to work once, by installing NT when there was a 20 M
primary FAT on the first driver, then move all NT boot stuff to the
third logical (FAT) partition where I installed most of NT, making the
20M parition invisible with PartitionMagic, and then fooled around with
kBootManager. kBootManager has to change the copy of the partition table
in memory it gives to NT because of the different way of defining
partition boundaries (it can do this). I got it to work once, then
wanted to clean it up, and never got it to work since. I really need a
week or so to figure it out again. FYI: this disk was paritioned as 20 M
FAT primary (normally hidden), a logical partition of 3.4 G with first a
2.5 G HPFS (OS/2 data) then then a 0.9G FAT 9for NT), then a 0.4 G HPFS
primary (OS/2 boot partition). At the very end, it has a boot manager
partition, needed to install OS/2 in a logical partition: fdisk knows a
BIOS will not boot from a logical partition, so it insists on a
bootmanager partition somewhere on the first disk even if it isn't being
used (I use kBootmanager).
Good luck, Mat Nieuwenhoven

Subj: Audio Driver for DELL Latitude CPt400
From: Stefan Pelz <Stefan.Pelz@orthogon.de>
Does anybody know if there is an audio driver for
a Dell Latitude CPt400 notebook?
The specs say that it uses a NeoMagic 256AV (alias NM2200)
chipset for video and audio.
Regards,
Stefan

Subj: REQ: Drivers for Cirrus Logic 5434 for OS/2
From: anon@anonymous.co.uk (Steve)
Greetz
I'm trying to get an old Cirrus Logic CL 5434 working with OS/2 (Warp
3.0) I managed to find some drivers on the net (can't remember from
which site now but the filename was K543x-d3.ZIP).
This isn't a branded card (for example like an Orchid Kelvin). I
suspect its just a no-name OEM version. It's very compact in size.
The driver installs ok and identifies itself as "Cirrus 5434 Generic"
on the System Setup/System/Display notebook page.
However the driver only provides a max resolution of 1024x768 @256
colours. The card is a 2Mb card so I was hoping to be offered
1280x1024 @256 but no.
I have tried (a borrowed S3) 2Mb card and those drivers did offer
1280x1024 @256 colours (which worked as well :) ).
So if anybody is using a Cirrus Logic 5434 successfully at 1280x1024
@256 please could you email me a copy of the drivers disk.
TIA
Steve

PS Also tried the supplied Warp 3.0 Cirrus Logic driver but still
limited to 1024x768 @256.
I also have Linux and W95 installed on same machine. They see the card
as a 2Mb card and offer full range of resolutions.

Hi Steve:
I have installed 5426, 5430, and 5434 cards, and I am pretty
sure that I was running at least one 2 MB card with 1280x1024@
8bpp and 1024X768 @ 16bpp. I am also pretty sure that the
embedded drivers worked for this. What may be possibly tripping
you up, is the monitor setting. Have you run CLMODE, or have
you selected a correct monitor setting from the "Settings"
notebook?
