- An OS/2 co-user called me last night with the same kind of trouble
- expept for the printer... it all boiled down to THE BOCA I/O CARD not
- doing proper interrupt call (or read, in other word completly NON
- COMPATIBLE to OS/2). I would suggest you check the make of your card,
- and if it is a BOCA, get an "el-cheapo" extra paralel port for your
- machine.
