Thanks all for the input

The OS is OS/2 Warp 3. The AMD BIOS on the current board says it is running a Pentium-MMX at 200 MHz and there is only 1 CPU. I do know some of the other systems are running at 133 MHz. I can make back up drives from one of the working systems and it will be an IDE drive.

I didn't write down the part numbers for the boards I called about, but now wish I did.

Maybe I should get the part numbers off the motherboards I have now that work and see if there are any used ones available.

I will also look at some of the boards mentioned, and dig further into the eCS1.2R + Software Subscription possibility.

Thanks to all!!

OK, you guys helped me with the video card problem - now it is working.

Now the next issue is I would like to have some motherboards that run OS/2 so I can build a couple of complete systems that can be used as replacement systems. I have done some asking around and the sales people for the new motherboards claim OS/2 won't run on their boards.

So I need a place to buy a couple of mother boards that will. I need 4 PCI slots. 1 for video, 2 for Arcnet boards, and one for an expansion I/O board.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

I wouldn't mine trying to get my GEforce 6200 to work with OS2. However I am not that good with config.sys files. Below is what I think is the relative section of the config.sys file. Can anyone tell my from this which is the driver for the old video card? and then what driver should be installed for the GEforce 6200 from the CD?

SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_SVGA
SET VIO_SVGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHSVGA)
DEVINFO=SCR,VGA,C:\OS2\VIOTBL.DCP
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS

Thanks for the responses

Thank you both. I did go to the website mentioned and there was exactly what I needed so I sent an email to him.

Good find!!, I had looked for a couple of hours and came up with nothing.

If that doesn't work out I will look for an older Matrox card.

Thanks again!!

Hi all.

I have a ten year old computer in which the video card has gone out. I know this to be true since I can swap them and the computer works.

The video cards I have inquired about don't say they will work they will work with OS2 on the older system. The only card info I have is the old one says ELSA with a EPROM labeled ELSA Winner 2000 AVI. It uses the S3 video chips. It is a PCI half slot card.

Anyone have any ideas where I might find a video card for this computer?
