- Well, I am amazed at the events which happened this afternoon.
- I installed OS/2 in logical drive e: as fat; in logical drive f: as
- fat.
-
- drive e:-------------Beta GRE-WIN
-
- drive f:-------------GA + CSD
-
- Well, the sequence is I installed the beta first and when I was
- installing the CSD to the GA in drive f: I deselected the e: drive so
- it wouldn't get updated with the CSD. Anyway on the last diskette, #12
- of the 3.5 CSD...I noticed it was taking a little longer than the other
- diskettes. What the CSD did was install to E: as well as F:.
-
- The effect, none that I see so far as the partitions go,,they both boot
- up as they should.
-
- The amazement is, I used the device install in the OS/2 System Folder
- and applied the Trident 800-600-16 driver to the GRE-WIN Beta partition
- and wouldn't you know it...NOW MY TRIDENT CARD IS WORKING PERFECTLY.
- I do not have to readjust the screen...there is no flickering or lost of
- the picture when I go from graphics in a full screen back to the WPS.
-
- I couldn't believe what my eyes were showing me...so as you guessed, I
- decided to apply this same driver to the GA-CDS partition. IT STILL
- WORKS!!!
-
- I am going to nail this sucker down and only upgrade when everything
- else is fixed...I can live with this one so far.
-
- Will keep you posted. So much for BETA testing!!
