- I needed the bvhsvga patch for western digital cards and I needed to
- remove the 0 wait state jumper from the 24x video card.
-
- I works fine under dos with the 0 wait state jumper on. Can anyone
- offer any theories as to why OS/2 would be unhappy about the card being
- in 0 wait state mode? It was not as if the trap would occur immediatedly.
- It would occur just as the desk top finished drawing.
-
- One other question, what does OS/2 do when the computer gets a wait state?
- Can OS/2 make the processor do other things and just wait that process?
