pscom.sys (1,3fa,4) on the command line

This is not correct. The parameters are 1,3F8,4 (DEFAULT, so nothing is needed.  Looking in my BIOS, I found that I had turned off the COM port. I turned it back on, added the PSCOM line:
Code: [Select]
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\PSCOM.SYSand it boots fine. No point though, because there is no serial connector, until I attach to a docking station.

Setup & Installation / Virtual Serial Port?
« Last post by Rich Walsh on Today at 06:58:15 pm »
I'm doing some maintenance on a program that won't start up unless it finds a 'COM1:' - but my late-model machine doesn't have any serial ports.

Is there a driver that will create a COM1$ device without the backing hardware? (It doesn't really matter what this virtual port does - it just has to be present.)

Its better to follow the steps in the instruction of AN to get your stick working.
Otherwise you will not get there.  Its not just adding the LVM information.

Its very hard to analyze at a distance this but it sounds at first glance something is wrong with the system. Plenty of people have installed ArcaOS on a T43 without an issue.
I am not saying the system is broken but the behavior is strange.

I checked on google I can not find picture of serial port on the system. However is there a serial port with 9 pins present on your T43 ?

Without the parameters, the system locks up first time, sound play is attempted on boot up. (If enabled in BIOS)
Passing parameters like (1,3fa,4) also cause lockup.

RS232 (COM1) is built into the T43, (Enable / Disable) is a BIOS option.

I don't have a docking station.

Will adding the LVM information cause Windows to be unhappy?

Is there an article or video that uncovers where the LVM information is stored and what it includes?

Programming / Re: Networking: socket() returns positive `non-socket`

I started trying to build it. Where to put the prerequisites was unclear, I did find a hint that perhaps ports. Seems the build system builds most of them during the main build. I was using my ram disk for this and backing it up now and again when Alex announced he was quitting OS/2 development so never asked any of the questions that were arising.
I was looking to figure out why swab() was declared twice even though guarded, probably by compiling with CFLAGS=-E to get the pre-processor output after the build failed. Never got that far.
I've uploaded my work in process to ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/agena-5.1.zip. The prerequisites are in ports/ never did examine the makefile well enough to know if that is correct. mapmagena needed mapm of which I found a copy and built.
Good luck and I can play along if needed. Let me know when you've downloaded the source and I'll remove it.
Edit: typo

It works here too. You need to download sound effects and base music separately (from the 'Check online content' menu). The sound effects work fine here, but I can't get music to play (is it MIDI). Pretty good overall though!

Regards,

EDIT: looks like it need a 'music driver' defined but none of the offered ones worked - and it is MIDI. Wonder if Kai could be used for this...

Hello again

The game seems playable from here. I even max it up to HD resolution and I can play with it.

- Full screen support is not working, maybe a limitation of the SDL2 port

I'm still trying to work out if I need to download some sounds to have some audio.
