There is a command line client Cadaver on hobbes. That's all I found.

Well, the graphical marks as far as I can see seem to be extremely low. On my Thinkpad T43 the PM Marks is 118 with Panorama (compared to  454 with SNAP) which is really quite good. It has been some talk about bad MTRR values and Panorama (frankly I don't know what that is, but it seem to be able to badly affect Panorama performance, but should be possible to adjust I think).

Hi Pete,

never heard about this test team, never get an information about it  ???

I did testing, some more then only graphic, with the Samsung, here the results, as I do not no where to send them.

And I do have nothing to compare, so I dont know if these results are good,ok or bad....

Hi

I'm trying some WebDav stuff, what options do we have under eComStation-OS2?

For the moment I had only found NetDrive (http://www.blueprintsoftwareworks.com/netdrive/news.html) with the WebDav Plugin (http://ndpdav.netlabs.org/en/site/index.xml).

Is there any other option beside this one to mount a WebDav drive?

Hi

If you were on the eCSTestTeam mailing list you would be aware that an updated Panorama is due sometime soon for testing. Roderick posted this today:-

[ eComStation Test Team ]

On both mailing lists there have been a lot of replies of people
wanting to test Panorama.

I already have 1 person that tested the new first build from David. It
does not address the performance issue's (yet).
David needs some more days to further work on the code of Panorama. It
does not make sense
to release the current version for testing. Somewhere next week we hope
to have a new version we people can test.

One thing you can do (you don't need to send us this data). Is download
this benchmark tool:
http://www.os2warp.org/SysBench/
And on the systems where Panorama is running run sysbench. Telling that
the video performance is not good
is one thing. But numbers are more precise!

You only have to run "Graphics" benchmark. The other options are not
needed.
Then when the new Panorama test version is released you can compare
numbers!

So somewhere next week we hope to have a new version that should
address some of the performance issue's.

Roderick


So, keep an eye out for the updated Panorama and, hopefully, it will be an improvement over the current version. I doubt it will come close to the speed of an accelerated driver though.


Regards

Pete

Hi Melf,

the WLAN is something strange. The US market version does have the Intel 6200 WLAN card (or similar) that may have a good chance to be supported, if ever. If I understand it correctly this module is combined somehow with the Bluetooth, so some wanted to change the WLAN Adapter (what for me seems to be rather impossible without destroying the Slate) with another but get warnings with loosing Bluetooth functionality then.

The German version does come with an combi module with an Atheros AR9285 802.11 b/g/n (bgn), Bluetooth, UMTS/3G Adapter.

I have sadly no idea if this Atheros chipset (that I have seen by the way in many Netbooks and tabletts I tested) will ever be part of the plan of the WLAN Multimac.

I will give the UMTS/3G a test this evening as it is easier to handle the Slate with the working Stylus now.

What does actual bother me more is:

- The usable but in deed painfull slowly working Panorama vesa
- UNIAUD not working

So at the moment it is something between  >:( and  :)

;)

Hi Sigurd, the Slate seems to be a nice little plate, and you're doing progress fast (well minus the 10 months to install eCS ;-) ) ! But what kind of wlan is inside? Do you see any possibilities that a future multimac based wifi can handle it?

About the OS/2 history: I may be wrong but AFAIK the use of another name than OS/2 was a prerequisite to be allowed to produce and resell  a new distribution of OS/2.

Just for fun I created a new bootlogo for the Slate :-)

Besides all legal things - wich in this case do not bother me at all - I think it is one of the saddest advertise decision from eCS to deny the OS/2 Warp History and brand. I think it is better to have some kind of reputation - even if it is for some probably a bad one - (OS/2) than having no reputation (eCS) - sadly. But it may be one of the things IBM wanted to have fixed.
