Mail-News / Re: PMMail 3.22 and SMTP authentication...can it do that?

Remember, without VOICE there would likely not have been a fairly current Firefox, Java, QT4 etc.

I would like to add that without the efforts and sponsoring of the community there would exist nothing of OS/2 at all,  even no Voice.

Hi Martin,

I just realized the best of it: One can disable SecureBoot and it does have a CSM - so OS/2 is possible!!!

I will not install ArcaOS but my own OS/2 Version, as it does really look and feel like OS/2 Warp 4 ::)

In short: this is the best ThinkPad I have ever used!

It will take some time!

Setup & Installation / Re: Realtek ALC892

Dave, what kind of Hardware is it exactly you are using, please? I had some experiences with the Samsung Serie 7 Slate, where Sound some times work, some times not. Mostly not. It was a very weak thing.

It's an old Samsung desktop, 2.4 Ghz C2D . PCI output attached.

Thanks Dave. Yes - Core2Duo allways worked for me as well (was around 2009 when these have been produced - working in my X200T from Lenovo)) - the Problems started with the Core-i.... (Laptops - i.e. X230T from Lenovo, that is a core-i 3rd generation) Generations beginning 2010.
 I tried the /:A1 Switch suggested by Remy as well, but that does not work on core-i... Laptops.

Thanks again.

Detected 2 audio adapter(s)
Error: invalid number of PCM instances for adapter 0

I am suffering from this Problem for years now, guess 2010. Uniaud is not able to handle more than one soundcard, your Motherboard has two (Intel HD and ALC 892) as most of (all modern) Laptops have since 2010.

The reason for this is mostly the HDMI port, wich has an Soundport included. These are, at least my conclusions and observations over the last 7 years. I may be completly wrong.

You have more than one instance of Sound Adapters and - even that the UNIAUD Driver loads - it will not function. On one Hardware (the Lenovo X230T) I had the strange experience that Sound did not work at all - but inside Youtube Videos.

Sorry for having no other Information. That is the reason why it is - for me - more or less useless to use ArcaOS/eCS or Warp 4.52 on modern Hardware - with no Sound Support it does not make sence for me (Personal opinion!). I am really happy with Virtualbox and the provided Soundblaster 16 Support in it.

With Virtualbox you can Scale the Resolution up to 200% whaz amkes it quite usable even on this very high resoltuion Display.

As there is full Sound Support with Virtualbox and if the additions are installed there is mouse and SNAP Integration as well as Network Support once you use the AMD PCNet Driver.

That makes really fun to Play the games like Trials of battle. Just insert the Image of the Game CD into the virtual CD drive of the VM and here we go. (Picture below)

What I really liked as well was the "Star Office for OS/2 3.0 StarCoach CD" that was included in Star Office 3.0. It included some really nice and Handy Videos to demonstrate the abbilities of StarOffice at a glance. There has been comment and Music as well.... (Picture below - unfortunaltely there are some grafic Errors, but those dissappaer once you start one of the Videos....)

I am playing around with Virtualbox and VMware with different OS/2 versions. thanks to the 16 GB of Ram of my Surface Pro 4 I can use plenty of Virtualmachines at the same time.

During the last days I mad Images (with ImageBurn, my USB DVD Drive and Windows 10) from all of my Operating Systems CDs and DVDs (OS/2 from 1.3 to 4.52, eCS 1.1. to 2.2b2, MS DOS 6.22 and IBM PC DOS 2000, Windows from 3.11, 95, 98, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10...) and stored them on a 200GB Micro SD Card. The same way with Games and additional Software for Dos, Windows and OS/2.

This makes it quite easy to install in virtual machines as I do not Need the Installation media "in real" I just have to attach the Image files to the CD Drive of the VM.  ;)

The Picture shows 4 different VMS under Virtualbox at the same time. I will try a lot of Things, i.e. I will try to connect the Warp connect to the Warp 4 Server and so on...

Just for fun - and it makes a lot of... :D

Events / Regarding: Lewis Rosenthal interview by Bryan Lunduke
« on: May 24, 2017, 02:04:44 pm »
While I like this interview very much I would like to suggest some aspects though, just to not have to high expectations from may be new/unskilled users :

- regarding DOS/WINOS2 Support on modern "Bare metal" Hardware: I would not be sure that These are working on all "Bare Metal" Hardware where ArcaOS can be installed on. My Observation is the other way round. Since the ..30 series of Lenovo (i.e. X230T, T450s) DOS (and therefore WINOS2) is prevented from running by Problems with the graphic Driver. The same goes for the Sony Vaio Pro 13. That meens mostly the Laptop Generations from 2012/2013 on.

- Sound ist still not supported on These devices as well -> it is possible to view HTML5 Youtube Videos, but without Sound.... I think These Problems started with Hardware newer then the 2010 Generations

I just would like to have this in mind once People are asking about the capabilities of the OS, so that those interested in might not be dissapointed.

My personal Point of view aobut ArcaOS5 (hopefully it can already be read between the lines of my other articels) is very (very!) Positive! It is a huge step Forward and I hope that - especially the Sound Problem - is targeted in the near Feature. I will try my best to spread the News! But I do not want to have demands expected by users, that can not be fullfilled (so far).

162
And really astonishing (for me) - the Hardware Support!

It does not matter if the SurfacePro4 is in the Dockingstation with cabled Internet or at home with Wirelessinternet - it allways works! No switch needed!

The SurfacePro4 Typecover inlcuding the touchpad is supported as well and working like a charm, here is the HardwareManager, the most complex one I had so far  ::)

Well,, loading the 1371 Sound Driver leads to a frozen WPS.....  :-\

But on the other Hand:

I have never ever seen such a fluent and speedy virtual OS/2 Installation before!

Even html5 Videos in Fullscreen are running fluent (Sound still missing though)!!!

Absolutly fantastic!

@Andreas,

thanks, I will give it a try!

Here, you may know it already, that is the Maximum Resolution using Gengradd that is provided for me with the SurfacePRO4,

1920X1440

but this is hard to work with with the Standard Resolution of the Surface Pro 4, 2736X1824

@Martin

Hi Martin,

yes, I send you the Picture in higher Quality to your Hotmail address. If I remeber correctly ecs 2.1 could have been installed inside VM with JFS, but I am not sure.
