Hi Roderick,

The SATA connectors are entirely separate from the M2 slots, (see attachment 1) and from what I have been able to find out you can have 2 sata disks and 2 M2 sticks all working together.

The USB might be a problem but on all the other ASRock  mini-itx boards that I have used (AM1 socket) they have dedicated USB 2,0 sockets where they say they do.  If that holds true for this board then the USB 2.0 socket on the rear panel should work with a USB 2.0 Y cable for keyboard and mouse.  Checking on the bios setup there is a switch to allow win7 USB wake support and since win doesn't come with USB 3.1, I think we can assume the USB 2.0 ports are real USB 2.0 as allowed for in the chipset tables.

Thanks for that information.  It is the follow on to the ASRock AM1H-ITX board that also uses an external DC power supply.  The thing that makes it a deal breaker for me is its use of SODIM memory modules (I have several 4GB DDR4 standard units available).

I am now thinking of updating the mini-ITX motherboard that hangs on the back of one of my monitors.  The problem is that it needs to have an AM4 socket to allow the use of an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G processor with its integrated graphics processor.

I have considered an ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming board which would allow dual booting with Linux Mint for such times I want to play games.

Does anyone have any experience with this board or any other AM4 socketed mini-ITX boards that they could comment on?

The attachments show the proposed board and the case it is to go in (to give an idea of size if the case the DVD drive is standard width but only 9.5mm high).

Hi mauro,

Happy you got it working, I missed the fact you transplanted a vdi in which you had already installed the OS/2 additions.

I do have one question though, why the oddball resolution?  Something like that would drive me nuts, not enough vertical pixels to stop a lot of scrolling.

Although this is getting away from desktop screen shots - could we have more please?

Doug, you need to go over to Wim's page http://home.hccnet.nl/w.m.brul/index.html and have a look at his OS/2 pen and touch page.

You might say that I am old fashioned but much of my working desktop originated with Warp 4 back in 1996 and evolved from there.  The screen is from a 28" 1920x1200 Hanns-g monitor driven by the on chip Vega graphics of the Ryzen 3 2200G processor.

Have you tried asking that question in the Ask Ubuntu pages?

Have you actually installed the OS/2 guest additions on the Ubuntu virtual box warp guest?  You cant use the windows versions on Linux.  Once you have the Linux version of the additions running you should be able to set the screen resolution in the virtual machine (at least that is what I can do with my vBox on Linux Mint).

No matter what anyone says, the use of OS/2/ArcaOS is going to end-up on the ability to actually install it on modern hardware and that includes AMD processors because of the people in industry having been bitten by the Intel meltdown and spectre CPU bugs.

Hi Martin,

You need to check that zip because here all I get is an error message, see attachment.  Also last night the torrent didn't work.

Hi Remy,

Regarding your Brother ADS 1600W, I have one of those and so far I haven't had to do a document setup on the touch screen because I used the web setup to define the options for the various documents - I also duplicated those options on my Brother DCP-9020cdw printer.

Dave,  I think the problem is that the zip file on hobbes is only a Corrective Service offering and not the complete PMX package. I tried to check the other PMX files on hobbes but hobbes is down at the moment.

If you are running the XFree86 as a window on the OS/2 desktop then I would recommend Gotcha (on hobbes) to take screenshots.

I do that if I need a screenshot when I am using HobX11 - like you I never got XFree86 to work reliably so I boughr Hobx11 and never looked back.

Which Realtek chipset is it?  I ask because there are several realtek drivers as well as the multimac one that you could try.

David,

What you are seeing is to be expected when you log on to a secure network - you have to have somewhere to fill in that information and as far as your laptop is concerned you are on an Ethernet connection where you log in via a web page.

I agree Martin, it is good to see some improvements but I do wish they would do something about the USB3.0 and 3.1 problem.  It is becoming harder to find PCIe based USB2 add in cards that don't use a xHCI based chip working in USB2 mode.  It makes it extremely difficult to use Ryzen based motherboards (no usb keyboards, mouse, trackball etc.).
