General Discussion / Re: Breaking OS/2 news, new OS/2 company! New OS/2?
« on: May 21, 2014, 05:59:26 pm »
Sorry for the late follow-up, here, and thanks for starting this thread!
Indeed, there are many things happening behind the scenes right now; too many to list, and lots of new and exciting stuff coming.
Right now, the best help we can get is for people to spread the word, particularly outside the normal OS/2 and eCS channels, perhaps to disgruntled/disenfranchised Windows users, who now understand the feeling of betrayal we all had when IBM decided to throw in the towel. I've had several clients of mine enter into serious discussions concerning what to do about the XP EOL situation, realizing that Windows 8.x on the PC is no joy.
Thanks again, and I'll do my best to stop by and post more often!
Cheers/2

Hardware / Re: PCI Parallel Port card install -- need info
« on: March 04, 2014, 04:59:29 pm »
...also uploaded to Hobbes incoming is a tweaked PRINT01.SYS which should see IRQs as high as 48. Andy just built it form the DDK sources. This should obviate the need for Virtual Wire Mode under ACPI. Please test and report. I have it in a machine with a PCIe 1x parallel card (Oxford chipset), ACPI mode 2, set for IRQ 19. The card is recognized by the driver and prints as expected (I have not tested speed or anything else, just output to an HP LaserJet 4000 over an HP-branded IEEE-1284 bidi cable).

FYI:
I've just uploaded to Hobbes an updated pcidevs.txt (updated to 2014-03-01). It's in /incoming, now, but it should replace the one from 2013-10-28.
Of course, this won't help drivers recognize hardware, but it should help us identify what new hardware we have, so that we may build the correct entries elsewhere or at least see what the system sees.
