General Discussion / EDM/2 Progress
« on: May 12, 2016, 02:59:31 pm »
Hi.

You all know the EDM/2 wiki, the community resource for OS/2 and eComStation development information.

I don't know if you follow the progress of the wiki on "Recent Changes" or it.  I just want to thank Andreas Kohl and Ólafur Gunnlaugsson for keep working on improving the wiki and complementing the OS/2 development information. They have been doing a great job for the latest months.

This is a great example of selfless work for the community.

Regards

Hi John.

What do you mean with "Settings Notebook" ?

All the public resources for OS/2-eCS are stored on the EDM/2 Wiki. We try to consolidate all software development information there. Let me know about your progress, maybe you can create an article for it in the future.

Hi

It is hard to get the IBM DUDE Driver Material.
I can not found anybody that tells that has something.

- OS/2 Adapter Device Drivers (ADD)
- OS/2 Physical Device Drivers (POD)
- OS/2 Virtual Device Drivers (VDD)
- OS/2 Graphics Accelerator Driver
- OS/2 MultiMedia Device Drivers
- OS/2 Physical Device Drivers (POD)
- OS/2 Device Managers/Filters (DMD/FLT)
- OS/2 SMP Device Drivers
- OS/2 Virtual Device Drivers (VDD)
- OS/2 Physical Device Drivers (POD)
- NDIS-MAC LAN Device Drivers
- OS/2 MultiMedia Device Drivers

I just found this (check attachment) but it is not much.

Regards

Thanks Wim.

cWarp keeps booting with your experimental TESTCFG.SYS. I updated my list of "Required Replacements" and also uploaded your code to GitHub.

Regards.

Hi Richard

I wish there was a list of hardware (similar to the hardware compatibility list) where we could take a non-working device and try to analyze it.

You can give it a try to use the OS2World Wiki (with the same userid and password of this forum) to make some "sandboxing" of your idea. It is a MediaWiki script just like Wikipedia.

You can give it a try and I will check your progress and If I can improve / organize your post in any way I will try to.

Regards

Hi

It is too bad, but on the OS2World wiki the Network cards adapter page is not organized.

But the network drivers (Included the NIF files, but the real driver is the .OS2 file) are on hobbes:

Hi Jan-Erik.

This experiment it is not about functionality, it is more about replacing components to have a "set of basic functionality" with replacements.

Martin, the rexxutil.dll is older and crippled.
Do you mean the Open Source REXXUTIL.DLL clone? Maybe it is crippled since I don't know it in detail since I don't have experience with REXX. But I can not agree it is older. From what I see on the binaries IBM REXXUTIL.DLL is from "9-06-2000 12:42    1999.518152034    68,119 bytes" while OSS Clone REXXUTIL.DLL is "3-06-2008 9:40p    2.10.1    68,482 bytes" (Source) If there is a newer IBM REXXUTIL.DLL let me know so I can update the EDM/2 wiki.

For me is as basic as "Good close source/abandonware software can not be improved. Bad open source software can be improved."

One should negotiate with the one that "own" OS/2 object rexx and get the parts that differ from the ones that was open sourced to rexxla.org and incorporate their improvements.

The one that owns OS/2 Object REXX is IBM, they are not currently releasing any source code from OS/2. If you know the person in charge of Object REXX that has contacts within IBM maybe I can talk to him, but for the moment I don't have faith on IBM releasing source code.

Setting away the topic from my cWarp experiment. My person opinion (which can be discussed on other thread) is to start moving to REGINA REXX slowly. Let's migrate any script that is currently used in REXX and that can be moved to REGINA without too much trouble now, and lets grow the Regina interest. From other discussion that we had (2014 - Regina REXX vs. OS/2 REXX) we have the following challenges with REGINA:

1) All the OS/2 REXX scripts should need to be adapted for Regina.
2) Every app in "Object REXX" will fail running over Regina. Plus we don't have "Open Object Rexx" ported.
3) While OS/2 REXX is integrated with the os, Regina is a separate executable. A better integration needs to be created.

I know this is the area of "Fixing what is not broken" and people are scared to comment or try, but again, I prefer bad open source code over good abandonware. (personal taste).  I think it can be great if someone can take the REGINA Flag inside the OS/2 community and start doing experiments and try different things.

Thanks Wim

I will be trying that file on the experiment.

Hi

If it is the "The Os/2 Warp 4 Cid Software Distribution Guide" it is already there, it is a public redbook.

But if you have any other IBM's OS/2 related publication that is not available online, I can try to ask permission to IBM to republish it here.

Web applications / Open365.io Beta

Hi

Anybody testing Open365.io on eCS's latest Firefox? I think it is a little bit slow on Windows and eCS.
How is it working for you?

Hi

To organize the config.sys file I will like to recommend you the CfgSort script.
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?key=cfgsort

Please save a backup of you config.sys first just in case.

Setup & Installation / Re: Video drivers
« on: April 25, 2016, 02:00:55 pm »
and it turns out to be a DOS self extracting file

Hi

This was part of the reason why I repackaged the Audio driver on hobbes some years ago. The self extracting files are not usable today. The best way to deal with those files today is with VirtualMachines and add virtual floppy drives for it to unpack to the virtual floppy and after that zipping them.

Maybe it is time to do the same for video drivers at hobbes.

JohnP: I think you will be fine with SNAP from hobbes.

Hi

It is not much but this redbook on page 30 says something about WSfeB DHCP server installation. But if there is another open/free DHCP server for OS/2 I think it will be better to use that one.

Regards
