- Very little tweaking is needed to use NB under OS/2. Start NB with
- the /b switch to force it to use BIOS video instead of direct memory
- access, and do something to bypass the conflict between OS/2's system
- keys (Alt-Esc and Ctrl-Esc) and NB's keyboard assignment. I've edited
- NB's keyboard to assign those functions to Ctrl-Shift-Alt-F5 and
- Ctrl-Shift-Alt-F6 so that I could use both the OS/2 system keys and
- NB's font control keys, but you might choose to disable one of the
- system keys instead.
-
- CD-ROM support under OS/2 is a whole different question. Basically,
- all SCSI drives are now supported by newly-released drivers. It
- depends on what kind of drive you have. If your drive is supported
- then it will be available to all OS/2 functions and DOS and Windows
- programs--if it is not supported you will be able to use it only in a
- special DOS session under OS/2. We can discuss details off the list.
