- CREATING DISKETTES FROM THE OS/2 CD-ROM
- ---------------------------------------
-
- Use the LOADDSKF utility program to create the diskettes.
- (LOADDSKF.EXE is in the DISKIMGS directory of the CD. LOADDSKF can be
- run from either the DOS or OS/2 operating system.)
-
- In the following section, you will see the lists of the diskettes for
- this version of OS/2 and the actual diskette names as they exist on the
- CD. For each diskette image file, use LOADDSKF to expand the image to
- its own diskette. (Note that you must use formatted diskettes for
- this procedure.)
-
- For example:
-
- cddrive:\DISKIMGS\LOADDSKF cddrive:\DISKIMGS\OS2\size\disk_name d:
-
- where:
-
- cddrive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM
-
- size is 35 for 3.5-inch 1.44MB diskettes or 525 for 5.25-inch 1.2MB
- diskettes
-
- disk_name is the diskette image file name (for example, DISK1.DSK,
- PMDD1.DSK.)
-
- d is the drive letter of your diskette drive (A: or B:)

-
- PRINTER CONSIDERATIONS
- ----------------------
-
- o If you need to add a Windows printer driver
- after installing this version of OS/2, you must
- install the printer driver from the Windows
- Control Panel. Then, use the OS/2 Printer
- object to install the corresponding OS/2
- printer driver.
-
- o The OS/2 printer drivers in this version of
- the OS/2 printer driver diskettes are stored
- in a packed format that is not compatible with
- OS/2 1.3 or 2.0. To install one of the new
- OS/2 printer drivers on a system with
- OS/2 1.3 or 2.0 installed, you must first
- unpack the driver on a system that has this
- version of OS/2 installed. You do not have to
- complete these steps to install a printer driver
- on a system that already has this version of OS/2
- installed.
-
- NOTE: Do not install the new 32-bit
- PostScript driver (PSCRIPT.DR_) that came
- with this version of OS/2 on a system with OS/2 1.3
- or 2.0 installed. It is not compatible with
- these versions of OS/2. Current compatibility
- information for this driver is
- available through your dealer, Marketing
- Representative, CompuServe, IBM National
- Support Center Bulletin Board System (NSC
- BBS), and IBMLink.
-
- To unpack a printer driver for use on a
- OS/2 1.3 or OS/2 2.0 system, complete the
- following steps on your system that has this
- version of OS/2 installed.
- 1. Open an OS/2 command prompt.
- 2. Type:
-
- MD X:\DRIVER
-
- Where X is a drive on your system.
- 3. Insert into drive A the OS/2 Performance Beta
- printer driver diskette that contains
- the printer driver you want to install.
- The printer driver names end in an underscore symbol ( _ ).
-
- Printer Driver: Diskette # Packed Name:
- ------------------------------------------
- Epson 1 EPSON.DR_
- HP DeskJet 1 HPDJPM.DR_
- HP LaserJet III 1 LASERJET.DR_
- IBM 4019 2 IBM4019.DR_

- IBM PCL5 3 IBMPCL5.DR_
- PaintJet 2 SMGXPJET.DR_
- Plotter Driver 1 PLOTTERS.DR_
- PostScript 1 PSCRIPT.DR_
-
- Note:
-
- In order to get the proper printer driver directory
- structure on systems with OS/2 1.3, IBMPCL3, IBMPCL5,
- HPDeskJet and PaintJet must be installed using the
- Printer Install option in the Print Manager. Do not
- use the Control Panel to install these printer drivers.
-
-
- 4. Type:
-
- UNPACK A:\Packed name X:\DRIVER
-
- Where X is a drive on your system. For
- example if you want to install the
- Epson printer driver, type :
-
- UNPACK A:\EPSON.DR_ X:\DRIVER
-
- The printer driver files are now
- unpacked in the X:\DRIVER directory.
-
- 5. Copy the driver files to a diskette and
- install them onto your OS/2 1.3 or 2.0
- system.
-
-
- EXTENDED SERVICES (ES) 1.0 CONSIDERATIONS
- -----------------------------------------
-
- o If you installed OS/2 Performance Beta
- on a system that already had Extended Services
- installed, replace the existing ESSTART.CMD file
- with the ESSTART.BAK file that was installed by
- OS/2 Performance Beta. (The ESSTART.BAK file
- is located in the OS2\INSTALL subdirectory.)
-
- o If you are installing Extended Services
- over OS/2 Performance Beta for the first
- time (that is, there is no Extended Services on the
- workstation), or if you are installing
- Extended Services from diskettes, rename
- the existing ESSTART.CMD file from the
- Extended Services Diskette 1. Then, copy
- the file ESSTART.BAK from the \OS2\INSTALL
- directory to Extended Services Diskette 1.
- Finally, rename the ESSTART.BAK file
- ESSTART.CMD on ES Diskette 1, and begin the installation of
- Extended Services.
-
-
- HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
- -----------------------
-
- o If you are using a ThinkPad 750C Series, after installing
- this version of the Performance Beta, you might find that
- your DOS full-screen session is corrupted. To fix
- this problem you must reinstall the video driver
- from the ThinkPad video features diskette.
-
- o After installation, you might have a video problem with the
- ThinkPad 750C. To fix this problem, do the following:
-
- 1. Start your system using the Installation disk
- 2. Run SETVGA X:
- where:
- X=your OS/2 boot drive
-
- 3. Restart your system, and then reinstall the ThinkPad 750c video
- drivers.
-
- o If you are using an IOMEGA PC Powered Pro 90, you must call the IOMEGA
- service number and request OAD Driver Version 2.3.
-
- o If you have an IBM PS/2 Model L40 SX and you want to install this
- version of OS/2, you must obtain the new IBM1FLPY.ADD device driver
- file from COMPUSERV or OS2BBS. (Internal IBM users can also obtain
- this file from the OS2BETA Tools Disk.) Copy IBM1FLPY.ADD to
- Diskette 1 of the OS/2 diskettes that came with this version of OS/2,
- and then proceed to install OS/2.
-
-
- VIDEO CONSIDERATIONS
- --------------------
-
- The following information pertains to video
- support for this version of OS/2.
-
- Note: If you want to change your video
- mode you must use the Selective
- Install program located in the
- System Setup folder. Do not use
- DSPINSTL.EXE to change your video
- support.
-
- After using Selective Install
- for VGA, you must delete the
- SVGADATA.PMI file located in the
- OS2 directory before you shut down
- your system.

- NOTES:
-
- a. You can reinstall the S3 16-bit display driver for the
- 801, 805, and 928 chip sets. There are several versions
- of OS/2 drivers (available on electronic services and
- from other vendors) supporting the 90C801, 90C805, and
- 90C928 chip sets from the S3 Corporation. IBM provides
- service for the S3 32-bit display driver and recommends
- that you install the new version of this driver included
- in this version of OS/2. This 32-bit display driver better
- utilizes the S3 chip sets.
-
- Note: IBM recommends that you DO NOT reinstall the
- S3-supplied 16-bit driver, the STB-supplied
- S3 driver, or the IBM-supplied S3-16M driver.
-
- For information about installing S3 video display drivers
- see the "S3 Installation" section in this file.
-
- b. You can reinstall the Trident-supplied 16-bit display
- driver, but the OS/2 Performance Beta Version 2.99 SVGA 32-bit
- display driver better utilizes the Trident 8900C cards.
- IBM provides service for the OS/2 Performance Beta
- SVGA 32-bit display driver and recommends that you
- install the new version of this driver.
-
- Note:
-
- IBM recommends that you DO NOT reinstall the Trident driver
- supplied on numerous bulletin boards, because it removes
- fixes from the Base Video Handler and Virtual Device Driver
- for the OS/2 SVGA driver.
-
- To install the OS/2 Performance Beta SVGA 32-bit
- display driver, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Open the OS/2 System folder.
-
- 2. Open System Setup folder.
-
- 3. Open Selective Install.

-
- c. After you install the OS/2 Performance Beta,
- install the Weitek display driver by following the
- instructions provided in the Weitek README file.
- IBM testing indicates that the Weitek display driver
- runs successfully on several computers but encounters
- "snow" with some configurations.
-
-
- DPMS-SUPPORTED DISPLAYS
-
-
- The XGA DMQS (\xga$dmqs\*.dqs) files in this version
- of the operating system do not have DPMS (Display
- Power Management Signaling) enabled for the DPMS
- supported displays. You must use the DPMS OVERRIDE
- parameter provided with the Power Management Utility
- that is located in System Setup.
-
-
- INSTALLATION OF SPECIFIC VIDEO ADAPTERS
-
- o ATI Graphics Pro Display Adapter
-
- In the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide",
- instructions are given for configuring the
- ATI** Graphics Ultra Pro. These instructions
- state that the display type for 640 x 480 must
- be configured to IBM DEFAULT. Note that this
- setting might be referred to as 60Hz rather
- than IBM DEFAULT.
-
- o Radius XGA Display Adapter
-
- The Radius XGA display adapter is supported on
- PS/2* Models 35 and 40 and PS/ValuePoint* 486
- systems. If you are using this display adapter
- on a PS/ValuePoint system, the VPXGA.EXE
- utility is required. For a copy of this
- utility program, check your Radius installation
- diskette or contact Radius.
-
- o Sigma Legend Display Adapter
-
- The OS/2 Performance Beta cannot
- restore the state of a Sigma Legend** display adapter
- after you switch sessions or video modes.

- SPECIAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
- --------------------------------
-
- Migrating CONFIG.SYS
- --------------------
- If you migrate CONFIG.SYS statements that contain multiple CALL=
- statements, check the CONFIG.SYS file to be sure that the CALL=
- statements are not concatenated. If the statements are concatenated,
- edit the CONFIG.SYS file so that the CALL= statements are on separate
- lines.
-
- RIPL Considerations
- -------------------
- RIPL users must contact their service representative to
- obtain the RIPL function supported by this version of OS/2.
-
-
- Installing with Adaptec 152X
- ----------------------------
- If you have an ADAPTEC 152X adapter with a Toshiba 3401 or Texel CD-ROM
- device, you must modify the CONFIG.SYS file located on Diskette 1 of
- the OS/2 Installation diskettes before you can install this version of
- OS/2 from CD-ROM.
-
- 1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file located on Diskette 1.
- 2. Change the following line to:
-
- BASEDEV=AHA152X.ADD /!SN
-
- 3. Save the file and proceed with the OS/2 installation.
-
- When the installation is complete, check the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file to
- ensure there is only one BASEDEV statement for AHA152X.ADD. If you
- have two BASEDEV statements for AHA152X you must remove the
- statement that does not contain the /!SN parameter.
-
-
- Installing with SEMAINT
- -----------------------
-
- If you use SEMAINT to create maintenance systems to apply
- the Performance Beta, statements are added to the CONFIG.SYS file
- created by SEMAINT. These statements enable swapping to the
- target drive and directory of the maintenance system. This
- path is determined by the /T: parameter that SEMAINT uses
- when it is started. Swapping is enabled only on systems
- with 10 megabytes of RAM or less. The initial swap file
- size will be set to 1024KB or 1 megabyte and can grow
- depending on the amount of virtual memory needed during
- installation of the Performance Beta. This requires you to have
- at least 5 megabytes of free disk space prior to creating
- the maintenance system created by SEMAINT.
-
- If you have a maintenance system installed with this
- OS/2 version of SEMAINT, you must re-install using
- SEMAINT from this version of the Performance Beta.
