Do you have the FAT32.IFS line in your config.sys and the FAT32.ifs in os2\boot as well as UFAT32.DLL in os2\dll?  You will not be able to see a FAT32 formatted drive without them.

Sorry Pete, I keep on forgetting your program because we use it so infrequently (last time was about 12 months ago when I setup a new workstation).

See the attachment for hcimonit.

Depending on which controllers your computer has your list of drivers in config.sys will be different to mine.

All of our computers use the USB drivers in the USBDRV202.ZIP package from hobbes.

Legacy USB mouse may be built into the bios as part of the trackpoint.

To check which USB drivers you need run HCIMONIT in a command window.  It will tell you how many host controllers you have and what types.  You need a driver for each controller, for example, hcimonit on my workstation shows:

You have 5 PCI USB OHCI host controller(s)
You have 2 PCI USB EHCI host controller(s)

And the Config.sys USB entries are:
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:9 /FLOPPIES:1

If your USB stick is formatted as FAT32 you will also need the FAT32 IFS in your config.sys (and installed on your system):
IFS=C:\OS2\BOOT\FAT32.IFS /CACHE:2048 /H /Q

Are you using a fixed IP address for your nas or DHCP?  We had intermittent problems with our nas boxes until we gave them fixed IP addresses.

There is also DAYTIME-1.12 server and client, also on hobbes.

Notes from the readme:

The server implements the RFC 867 (daytime), RFC 868 (time) and RFC
1361 (SNTP) services, both for TCP and UDP protocols. The client can
use any of these services and either protocol to retrieve the time
from another host and adjust its local time. Using SNTP over TCP is an
extension over RFC 1361 (although mentioned there).

For those interested there is a JAVA program that graphically does much of the work.

j-Wildfire, while the latest versions require Java 7 the j-wildfire-2.00R2 is quite happy to run with our openjdk6.

This version can be obtained from http://www.andreas-maschke.de/java/j-wildfire-2.00R2.zip

Just unzip, rename the 'start_linux.sh' to 'start_os2.cmd' (give path to java.exe if necessary) or create a program object.

See the attachments for what you get (I also have an icon for the program object if anyone wants it).

I am not a expert in net, but this is a check for know if your network card is ready

Only one problem with that, you can ping localhost even if there is no network card in the computer.

Richard, the D-Link unit is overkill for what you want. It is also a so and so to setup since it requires a wireless enabled computer to start with.

We have been using the IOGEAR GWU 627 ethernet to WiFi adapters for some of our clients that have non WiFi enabled OS/2 laptops and wvensome that have a wireless card but there are no OS/2 drivers for it.

These units are easy to setup and once working it is just a matter of plugging in the ethernet and usb (for power) cables.

It appears that they have written a command interpreter to run some Linux text mode tools just as we have a DOS command interpreter to run some DOS programs in OS/2.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/30/bash_shell_comes_to_windows_10/ has a little more information.

Since they had the ability to run some simple OS/2 programs built into NT (which they didn't generally talk about) it is not surprising that they are doing this especially when they have ported their sql server over to Linux about a month ago.

Thank you Daniel, that is what I assumed.  I also assume there is no way round it at the moment other than using an unmodified OS/2 install.

Applications / Problems with Tame
« on: March 25, 2016, 01:19:27 am »
Does anyone have the magic incantation to get tame working on an updated computer?

Tame used to work on my computer with an Epson Perfection 640U USB scanner.  The scanner was needed in the outer office and was moved there several months ago (the computer it is hooked up to is an unmodified WSeB install that also acts as e-mail server).

Tonight I needed to do some scanning so got the scanner and hooked it back to my computer.  It is seen by Tame but when I try to scan anything scanimage flashes on screen for an instant and nothing gets scanned.

Scanimage -L finds the scanner backend (epson2) but again trying to get scanimage to actually scan results in failure.

I am assuming that we have reached DLL hell as my computer has been updated with all the latest DLLs that are needed for such programs as OpenOffice, Firefox etc.  Something in that lot has broken Tame and I would like to know what I need to do to get it back working on my computer again and keep the other programs working as well.

Any suggestions?

Hi Rick,

I am pleased that you found your way here.  You will find some of the same people you met in the newsgroups and some new people as well.
