Programming / Templates
« on: April 18, 2018, 04:52:15 pm »
I hope this is the right place for this question.

How does one create a template?

I am now moving everything from one of my old computers over to a nice new one I have just built and now I want to create the program objects for the large number of java apps that I use.  What I would like to do is create a template with the Path and File name for java already filled in to save retyping it 50+ times, the other fields can be copied and pasted from a text file.

Another thought

Since I have a text file with all the details, including icon name would it be possible to use something like a rexx script to do everything in one run and if so does anyone have such a script?

Hi David,

What you are seeing with power down and the ramdisk is what you should expect.  What is on a ram drive is lost when the system is powered down - Ramdisks are only there as long as there is power to the ram and the refresh mechanism is working - no power, even for a very short time, results in no ramdrive.

Hi Mark,

Are you trying to setup an OS/2 vbox with win 7 running in it and then trying to setup a vbox instance in that win 7 to run XP?  I don't think that will work and is the reason for message you show.

As far as I know vbox will only run one guest OS at a time although it should be possible to run several vbox instances at once on the host machine.  Note I said should because I'm not sure we can with OS/2 as the host machine.

Hi Ben, send me an e-mail to iv4an7jt at free dot fr  (remove numbers) and I will send it to you, it is too large to be an attachment here.

Hi Ben,

Are you downloading from the link Rolf gave?  I just downloaded it again from that link and the first line of the info text gives  BS_Info  v2.1 beta (13. April 2018)  The Info page of the program also gives that information.

On the other hand if you used the link Pete gave it will give you the older version.

Hi Mark,

Look for the version of Theseus here http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-browse.php?dir=/pub/os2/util/memory

Hi Dave,

Do you have a list of all the additional DLLs needed for this to run - no rpm/yum here and your firefox 17.11 has done yeoman service but is starting to barf on some https sites so I will give this a try.

Thank you Valery for the QEMU downloads.  I lost my copy of the 0.9 version when a hard disk went down - now I can get it up and running again.

I have a feeling that this is running in a seamless virtual machine like Qemu and if so where can I get a copy.

As Olafur says it is Intel's way of using its Optane flash drives in raid configuration.  It is also used with NVMe M.2 flash arrays for booting.

Set it to AHCI and hope the driver chip is recognised by OS2AHCI.ADD.  If it is an Intel chip it will be recognised, if it is an ASMedia, or one of the OEM chips they build for AMD Ryzen, forget about it - it won't work.

Congratulations.

It is rather surprising what you find on HDs eBay.  I got a set of 6 for my HP server and when I looked at them prior to making sure they were OK I found some companies complete development data, some of it was interesting but they cleaned up well and have been running WSeB server 24/7 for the past 8 years.

The main thing is that it is seeing your hard disk.

Now to try and fix the problem.  go to http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-browse.php?dir=/pub/incoming/ and download dfsee150.zip and use that to make a bootable dos floppy, boot with that floppy and use dfsee to write a new MBR and delete the old partition tables.  It should then allow you to use the advanced install fdisk to setup the HD as you want it and after a reboot the install should proceed as normal.

Note:  It is also possible to use dfsee to setup the partitions on the HD.  If you do then there must be one partition marked as 'startable'.

If you have added or removed any drivers to Disk 1 then you must edit the config.sys to reflect that and set copyfromfloppy=1 should be the last item if you have added any driver otherwise that driver will not be copied to the HD.

The first sys message says that os2boot can't be found
The second says insert a system diskette and restart the system

Looking at your text files you are about half way through the install but the essential files OS2BOOT, OS2KRNL, OS2LDR, OS2LDR.MSG, OS2LOGO, OS2VER and possibly IBMLVL.INI (this is from memory) are missing.

In this situation you should go back and start over using the advanced install.  When you get to the FDISK page format the HD with HPFS file system  and continue from there.

I am most probably forgetting/missing some things it has been a very long time since I installed warp 3 and that was the connect version.  I might have a HD from one of those installs somewhere in the garage but even if I could find it I don't think it would be much help.

Having dug through my archives I have found a couple of drivers for the DTC card that may or may not work - they are stated to be for OS/2 v2 and later.

All I can say is to try them and see.

The final config.sys is built from the one on Disk 1 (the second install disk) and the information you give during the install process (this information is taken from the various screens that ask you about the equipment that makes up the computer).

To add any external driver you make a copy of Disk 1 and make changes to that.  Copy the driver you want to add to the copy of disk 1 (make room by deleting some of the redundant cd drivers, chincds1.add, hitcds1.add, lms206.add, mitfx001.add etc.  You must also remove the entries for all the drivers you delete from the config.sys.

While you are editing the congig sys add the driver you added to the disk to the basedev section and add set copyfromfloppy=1 as the last item of the config.sys.

Do you have the drivers disk for the scsi card, it should have the OS/2 drivers on it.

You will then need to add that driver to Disk1 and edit the config.sys to include that driver and also add set copyfromfloppy=1 as the last item of the config.sys otherwise you get what you are seeing at the moment.

the set copyfromfloppy=1 tells the install program to copy all the drivers from the disk which includes the driver for your scsi adapter.  without that driver your cd will not work when the installer changes from DOS to OS/2.
