- There were several people who did have it working under OS/2's DOS full
- screen window. As long as you can find a "safe" combination of IRQs and
- base addresses, you'll be ok. I can't because I have too many other
- cards inside the machine (bus mouse, 2 serial ports, tape card....etc)
- so I had to rely on DOS tricks of using IRQ 7 where IRQ 7 is really for
- the printer but it works ok in DOS. ANd then there are those without bus
- mouse and com2 so IRQ5 is free, but not me. So it's a matter of mixing
- and matching and it depends on your system. But you maybe able to get it
- to work without needing the OS/2 native driver (which is coming one of
- these days!).
