Hardware / Re: Modern Motherboards - Whats working

*but* only has 1 PS/2 port ...
That should not be a problem: there are ps/2 splitter cables for this. In fact mouse and keyboard are connected to different pins on the ps/2 connector.

Programming / Re: How does AVIO works?

Too bad it is no longer available on archive.org. On https://www.charlespetzold.com/books.html you can find source of the book. In the '89 book chapter 7 seems to be concerned with AVIO. If only I could get a copy of chapter 7...

Programming / How does AVIO works?
« on: March 24, 2024, 05:37:42 pm »
I just read heard about advanced VIO, what I gathered so far, is that you supposedly can create an AVIO presentation space with VIOCreatePS (see https://ia801901.us.archive.org/13/items/OS21.xTechnicalDocumentation/64F0276_OS2_V1_2_PTI_Presentation_Manager_Programming_Reference_Vol_1.pdf page 467). If I understand this correctly it should be possible (in 16 bit apps at least) to incorporate an area in a PM application, that can be populated (updated) with VIO calls.

Anyone knows something about this? Maybe someone recalls an article or an example from back in the day?

Programming / Re: new gcc toolchain
« on: March 16, 2024, 11:48:25 am »
Before I am looking deeper into it, I have a question:

How does this toolchain handle debugsymbols?

If I was to compile something with gcc -g ... do the debugsymbols end up in the exe file? If so, then what type of debugsymbols and is there a debugger on OS/2 that is compatible with those?
