-
- did you reinstall os/2 so that a new config.sys with
-
- basedev=fd8xx.add
-
- is included? the fd8xx.add is the 8-bit future domain driver included in
- GA and CSD (although i found that the CSD one had a few problems that the
- GA one didn't). in other words, native support is provided.
-
- you could also probably install this driver manually, if you want to
- find the file on the distribution diskettes and unpack it from the archives.
- the order the drivers load is probably important, so you might have to
- figure out exactly what this is to go this route.
-
- hope this helps.
