- Well, I downloaded and installed the beta yesterday. The installation
- went smoothly.
-
- Here's what I've found so far:
-
- The default settings for Autocad Release 9 (as created by the migrate
- programs thingy) use a windowed session for Autocad. (As if this is
- usable.) But when you run it windowed, it hangs the machine. C-A-D
- works, BUT (and here is the really strange part:) On the next boot
- (if a cold-reset is not done) OS/2 has no comprehension of my
- SCSI disk. Boot-manager doesn't see the partitions, the d: and e: drives
- are invisible. Cold-boot brings everything back to normal.
-
- (My setup: 111M Maxtor IDE as C:, Ultrastor 14f using Int13 driver on
- D:, HPFS as D and Fat on E:.)
-
- Also, dir /r doesn't work; something about a syntax error, I think.
-
- The comm drivers seem to drop more characters at 19200 than before; I'll
- have to do some tests to make sure, though.
-
- (BTW, if someone could mail me with the details of how we beta-testers
- are supposed to report bugs, I'd appreciate it. Is IBM watching
- this group? Or what?)
