I just tried OS/4 on my Lenovo ThinkPad T510. This thing is a little different than the L530:
It does not have a real COM port (it does have a software modem), but it hangs after the first "Loading" line, if I don't enable the debug port.
Hmmm. eCS 2.2 beta 2, on the T510, does NOT have the new UNIAUD.DLL file. I guess I need to discover where that came from. I remember that the UNIAUD driver was automatically detected on the T510 (in eCS 2.1, and eCS 2.2 beta 2), but I had to select it on the L530 (no sound chip was detected, in both versions of eCS). In all cases, I manually updated to UniaudUpdate1.09.06-2.02.01, after install, but that does not change UNIAUD.DLL.
Then, I tried loading OS/4 with the QSINIT loader. That works, and I can use the QSINIT RAMDISK. It works with the L530 too.
as I recall, 16-bit timer0.sys fail is okay because its function is now fully substituted by the clock03b.sys system driver
I was thinking that that was the case. I didn't see any indication that it should be REMed. I REMed it, and everything seems to be okay, so far (a few minutes).
I'm sorry I can't help you with the sound, maybe you may try messing with unimix controls more
I think that UNIMIX is missing a few controls that I need. Anyway, that all works the same as with the IBM kernel, so it is not an OS/4 problem.
Thank you for your positive feedback, it's really appreciated.
It would be more positive, if the documentation was a little better. Somebody who hasn't played with this stuff would be in real trouble, I think.
The OS/4 kernel, using the QSINIT loader, or the OS/4 loader, seems to be working well, and it does enable all of my memory, which is a great breakthrough. I can use it with ACPI, with no parameters, which enables both processors, and uses high IRQs. I need to try hyperthreading.
Now, I need to get back to real life, for a while.
