DESCRIPTION
IBM OPERATING SYSTEM/2 STANDARD EDITION VERSION 1.2
The many enhancements available today for IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition are an advance for the implementation of SAA on
programmable workstations. The availability of the SAA Dialog
Manager in the IBM OS/2 Programming Tools and Information Version
1.2, and the enhancements to the Presentation Manager (TM) emphasize
IBM's commitment to SAA.
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
OS/2 INFORMATION PRESENTATION FACILITY: The OS/2 Information
Presentation Facility provides the application developer with an
easy-to-use facility to define help panels and built-in functions
(independent of application flow and logic) to service end-user help
requests made during application execution.
The easy-to-use OS/2 Information Presentation Facility
Compiler for help panels makes it possible for the panels to be
developed by someone other than the actual programmer, such as a
person skilled in building information products. Later, the panels
and the application processing code can be combined into the total
application. The OS/2 Information Presentation Facility can also
provide linkage to a tutorial and/or any other program provided by
the application programmer.
Both Presentation Manager and Dialog Manager applications may
use the services of the OS/2 Information Presentation Facility.
Programmers who use the OS/2 Information Presentation Facility when
writing Presentation Manager applications can increase their
productivity by not having to support help requests directly. They
have an easy-to-use OS/2 Information Presentation Facility Compiler
in the OS/2 Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2. By using
OS/2 Information Presentation Facility, consistency with SAA Common
User Access (SAA/CUA) is enabled.
ONLINE COMMAND REFERENCE: The usability of IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition has been significantly improved by placing
traditional Command Reference information online, at the user's
fingertips in an electronic book. This electronic book contains
familiar sections such as a Table of Contents, topic pages and an
Index, which are accessed through a Presentation Manager application
that can be windowed.
Using the application pull-downs, a user can search for
specific words or phrases, maintain or view existing bookmarks, print
one or more topic sections, or cut sections from the book and paste
them to a file. Individual command information includes the name of
the command, its purpose or function, the command syntax and the
parameter definitions. The interface that presents the Command
Reference (online) is the same as that used by the OS/2 Information
Presentation Facility for presenting help panels.
A Command Reference hard-copy manual may be ordered
separately. Refer to the ORDERING INFORMATION section for details.
DUAL BOOT: To make it possible to boot either OS/2 or DOS from the
same fixed disk drive, C:, a user may now run the new BOOT utility.
Whenever the user wants to change the operating system, the BOOT
utility is run. Upon completion the user must re-boot the system.
The BOOT command runs under OS/2, the DOS compatibility mode and DOS.
NOTE: Dual boot of OS/2 and DOS is limited to the file allocation
table (FAT) file system. Users who want the High Performance File
System installed on the C: drive will be unable to have dual boot.
For OS/2 system installation to install dual boot on the C:
drive, the drive must contain a bootable DOS 3.2, 3.30 or 4.00 or an
OS/2 dual boot installed system. However, DOS 3.30 or 4.00 is
recommended for greater compatibility with OS/2. Refer to the
product publications for further guidance on usage of OS/2 dual boot.
NEW FILE, DESKTOP AND PRINT MANAGER INTERFACES: The OS/2 default
user interface has been significantly enhanced to provide improved
usability, additional function and closer conformance to the most
current SAA/CUA Advanced Interface Design Guidelines. Refer to the
publication (SC26-4582) for additional information.
The most significant enhancements are:
o A new File Manager interface for displaying and manipulating
files and subdirectories
- The File Manager optionally displays files as icons instead
of text lists, giving a more pictorial view of files.
- A program may be started by selecting an input file from the
File Manager list, "dragging" the file to a program listed by
either the Desktop Manager or the File Manager and "dropping"
the file on the desired program. Either OS/2 or DOS programs
may be started by using the File Manager.
- Files may be moved, copied and printed by using the "drag"
and "drop" technique.
- The File Manager font can be selected from any of the
installed fonts, allowing the user to choose the amount of
information displayed on the screen.
- The File Manager provides an improved associate function,
which allows data files to be associated with one or more
programs either by file name or property. When the file is
double clicked, the list of programs is displayed, allowing
the user to select which program to run.
- A new search function allows the searching for files, using
either wild cards in file names or file properties stored
within the file to list files meeting the specified search
criteria. File lists resulting from searches may be used to
manipulate files in the same manner as directory lists are
used.
o A new Desktop Manager interface for adding and starting programs
- More than one group of programs listed in the Desktop Manager
can be simultaneously displayed.
- Icons are displayed next to program or group titles listed by
the Desktop Manager.
- Allows programs to be moved, copied or added to a program
group by selecting the program from the File Manager or
Desktop Manager list, "dragging" the program to the desired
group and "dropping" the program in the new group
- DOS programs may be added to and started from the Desktop
Manager program list.
o A new Print Manager interface for managing print requests.
- Allows the user to direct print output to a specific print
queue
- Allows the user to configure printers/plotters and queues
from the Print Manager instead of using the Control Panel.
DIALOG MANAGER: The IBM OS/2 Dialog Manager is a productivity aid to
assist application developers in managing input and output between
their applications and the end user. The Dialog Manager is contained
in IBM OS/2 Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2.
NOTE: For information on redistribution of Dialog Manager run time
and files, refer to the TERMS AND CONDITIONS, LICENSING section.
The IBM OS/2 Dialog Manager provides significant elements of
the interface for the SAA Dialog Manager discribed in the SAA
publication, COMMON PROGRAMMING INTERFACE DIALOG REFERENCE
(SC26-4356).
Application developers using the Dialog Manager can
efficiently implement application dialogs that take advantage of
Presentation Manager facilities. The Dialog Manager provides
application programming interfaces (APIs) for the dialog elements
dealing with display-related services, dialog variable handling
(function pools) and create/end dialog session control.
The Dialog Tag Language (DTL), also described in the CPI
Dialog Reference, is used to define dialog elements other than
application program logic: application panels, help panels,
application command tables and messages. The compiler to process
panels written in the DTL is contained in IBM OS/2 Programming Tools
and Information Version 1.2.
The Dialog Manager and the DTL help the application conform to
SAA/CUA as described in the publication, SYSTEMS APPLICATION
ARCHITECTURE COMMON USER ACCESS ADVANCED INTERFACE DESIGN GUIDE
(SC26-4582).
The general structure of the OS/2 Dialog Manager may be
recognized by current dialog developers (EZ-VU or ISPF), facilitating
the migration of current dialogs to the IBM OS/2 environment.
Dialog Manager programs may be written in C/2 (TM) 1.1,
FORTRAN/2 (TM), Macro Assembler/2 (TM), Pascal Compiler/2 (TM), and
COBOL/2 (TM).
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
HIGH PERFORMANCE FILE SYSTEM: The High Performance File System
manages large disk media in a fast and consistent manner. The High
Performance File System is an attractive alternative to the file
allocation table or FAT-based file system because it supports DASD
with as many as 16 partitions and can handle partitions as large as 2
gigabytes. The High Performance File System maintains compatibility
with the FAT file system at the API level, is less performance
sensitive as file sizes and/or directories get very large, and can
work with files that have either the traditional or new long file
name characteristic. The system installation procedure is used to
optionally install the High Performance File System.
If a partition is formatted for use by the High Performance
File System, the contents of that partition will be lost. Copies of
existing files should be made before that partition is formatted.
After the partition is formatted, the copied files may then be placed
in the newly formatted partition and accessed using the High
Performance File System.
Files created using the High Performance File System may be
accessed by programs running in the DOS environment of OS/2. Files
created using the High Performance File System may not be accessed by
either DOS 3.3 or 4.00.
The High Performance File System is implemented to be bootable
as the C: drive.
NOTE: The file system will be enhanced to preserve the case of the
file name when the file is created or renamed. Utilities will be
enhanced to allow for a space and other special characters to be
imbedded within quoted file names. (To be available November 30,
1989 -- refer to UPDATE ordering information.)
NEW PRINTER DEVICE DRIVERS: All device drivers delivered with
Version 1.1, either with the product or with its device support
supplement, will be packaged as separate media and shipped with the
Version 1.2 base operating system.
A PostScript (1) driver is included with IBM Operating
System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 to allow applications to output
PostScript to the IBM Personal Page Printer II Models 4216-30, 031
and to other printers with PostScript output capabilities.
A generic Printer Control Language device driver that supports
printers compatible with the Hewlett Packard LaserJet and LaserJet II
series of Printers will be available November 30, 1989, in an IBM
Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 UPDATE. (Refer to
the UPDATE ordering information)
An Epson device driver is included with IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition Version 1.2 that supports devices compatible with
the Epson FX80 (9 wire) and LQ1500 (24 wire) series of wire matrix
printers.
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition has the capability to
separately install device drivers if needed. For example, this
capability can be used if a customer acquires new hardware in the
future that requires installation of a different device driver.
(1) Registered trademark of Adobe Systems, Inc.
PRESENTATION MANAGER ENHANCEMENTS: The Presentation Manager has
further enhanced its SAA/CUA enabling by providing more function and
greater usability for both application developers and end users.
Some of the CUA enhancements are enabled automatically; others will
require that the application be changed.
In addition to previously announced enhancements, the
Presentation Manager now takes full advantage of the new OS/2
Information Presentation Facility. Presentation Manager programmers
may produce help screens using all of the functions of the OS/2
Information Presentation Facility. Use of the OS/2 Information
Presentation Facility by both the Presentation Manager and
applications, ensures consistency of use and appearance across the
system and applications. The help screens for the Presentation
Manager itself have been produced using the OS/2 Information
Presentation Facility Compiler.
Presentation Manager programs may be written in IBM FORTRAN/2
and IBM COBOL/2 (refer to the note in the section on IBM OS/2
Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2 on FORTRAN/2 and
COBOL/2) as well as IBM C/2 1.1 and IBM Macro Assembler/2.
OTHER IBM OPERATING SYSTEM/2 STANDARD EDITION ENHANCEMENTS
SYSTEM EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS: The system editor in IBM OS/2 now
executes as a windowed Presentation Manager application. Files
created with the Version 1.1 system editor are compatible with
Version 1.2. The appearance and operational characteristics of the
Version 1.2 system editor are designed to the SAA/CUA definition.
IBM DOS COMPATIBILITY: The DOS environment of IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition Version 1.2 protects a user's investment in current
software by providing the capability to run existing IBM DOS
programs, subject to certain limitations described in the IBM
Operating System/2 documentation. OS/2 SE 1.2 will have a larger DOS
environment than the one in OS/2 SE 1.1.
Generally, the DOS environment is compatible to a subset of
IBM DOS 4.00 function. Support for disk files greater than 32MB was
included in IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1, and
is available in DOS compatibility mode. The IBM DOS 4.00 support for
greater than 25 lines of text mode display, and support for
additional video modes for Personal System/2 (R) (PS/2 (R)) displays
are also available in DOS compatibility mode. The remaining new IBM
DOS 4.00 functions, such as the DOS Shell or LIM/EMS, are not
supported. The interface for the DOS compatibility environment has
been significantly enhanced by allowing DOS programs to be started
from either the Desktop Manager or the File Manager. The DOS command
line interface that resembles the one in IBM DOS 3.30 is also
provided. The family API provided with IBM Operating System/2 allows
programs to be written that will run on IBM DOS 3.30, IBM DOS 4.00,
IBM OS/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1 or IBM OS/2 Standard Edition
Version 1.2.
(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines
Corporation.
RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY AND SERVICEABILITY (RAS): The RAS
capabilities of IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition have been
enhanced with several new or modified functions. Improvements have
been made for the collection, logging and reporting of detailed
information if a system error occurs. These improvements permit a
problem to be isolated faster and more accurately.
Consistency between the Standard and Extended versions of IBM
OS/2 has been improved by making the application of corrective
service appear more nearly the same on both products.
ADDITIONAL VERSION 1.2 ENHANCEMENTS: Additional enhancements have
been made to improve data integrity, performance and usability.
The system can now accommodate 64,000 file handles, 32,000 per
process.
HARDWARE RELATED ENHANCEMENTS
DEVICE INDEPENDENCE: The display and mouse device support have been
rewritten for IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 to
facilitate the attachment of other displays and mice that normally
may not have been supported by IBM Operating System/2 Standard
Edition.
NOTE: Refer to the MACHINE REQUIREMENTS section for specific part
numbers and other pertinent information. Also refer to the MACHINE
REQUIREMENTS section of Programming Announcement 289-218, dated
May 16, 1989.
IBM OS/2 PROGRAMMING TOOLS AND INFORMATION VERSION 1.2
IBM OS/2 Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2 has been
updated with the following changes:
o The IBM OS/2 Programmer's Toolkit and IBM OS/2 Technical
Reference, separately available in the past, have now been

o New language specific information and bindings have been added
for IBM COBOL/2 and IBM FORTRAN/2 use with Presentation Manager.
(These language bindings do not support the OS/2 Information
Presentation Facility.)
NOTE: IBM COBOL/2 and IBM FORTRAN/2 are non-re-entrant
languages and, therefore, have limitations on the Presentation
Manager functions available to them. For details, see the OS/2
VERSION 1.2 CONTROL PROGRAM AND PRESENTATION MANAGER PROGRAMMING
GUIDE (00F8833).
o Presentation Manager examples have been enhanced to assist
application developers with practical applications of existing

VGA mode.
Support for a fully populated PS/2 Display Adapter
8514/A with an 8514 IBM PS/2 Color Display or 8507 IBM PS/2
Monochrome Display will be at a resolution of 1024 x 768.
o OS/2 mode applications running in sessions outside the
Presentation Manager control the mode of the display adapter.
NOTE: In a non-Presentation Manager screen group, an IBM Operating
System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 application program can use the
IBM 8514/A Adapter in advanced function (high resolution) mode by
issuing 8514/A adapter interface calls.
The adapter interface software is contained on a diskette
shipped with the 8514/A adapter. Customers using the 8514/A in
advanced function mode must ensure that the adapter interface code is
at the correct level for use with Operating System/2. The adapter
interface level can be determined by running HDIVER.EXE in the HDIOS2
directory. If this directory does not exist, the customer can order
form number G68X-2300 at no charge. This part number includes a new
level of the adapter interface and additional pages for the 8514/A
Technical Reference.

COMPATIBILITY: The OS/2 Default User Interface has been
significantly enhanced to provide increased function, better
usability, overall appearance and conformance to CUA. Some enhanced
functions such as move and copy files have been modified and work
differently from IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1.
Refer to the programming publications for specific information on
these changes.
With the following exceptions, programs designed to run under
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1 will run under
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 and do not need
to be reinstalled.
NOTE: Customers who have compiled programs using IBM FORTRAN/2
Version 1.00 or 1.01, which are to be run on IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition Version 1.2, must get maintenance level 1.02 of IBM
FORTRAN/2 and recompile their programs to ensure proper function and
correct results.
If the application uses certain subsystem function such as
physical video buffer access, registering of subsystem functions, or
character device monitors, it will be required to run in a
full-screen OS/2 session. Otherwise, the application can be windowed
by specifying it as RUN IN A TEXT WINDOW when installing the
application under the OS/2 Presentation Manager.
Licensees of BASIC Compiler/2, Macro Assembler/2, Pascal
Compiler/2 or C/2 Version 1.0 may submit the CodeView Update order
form contained in the IBM OS/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 package
to receive an update to CodeView containing advanced function for
debugging OS/2 applications. The order form must be accompanied by
proof of license of the eligible language product being used. IBM
will honor requests for the update until November 1, 1990.
NOTE: This CodeView update is the same update made available for IBM
OS/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1.
Depending on the programming language used to develop
applications, some capabilities of IBM Operating System/2 Standard
Edition Version 1.2 may not be possible to implement in an
application.
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 does not
support the SYS utility or the /s option of the FORMAT command.
The BACKUP and RESTORE commands are supported in protect-mode
only.
Programs compiled using the Version 1.1 Presentation Manager
will run on Version 1.2 without change.
The DOS environment of IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition
Version 1.2 protects a user's investment in current software by
providing the capability to run existing IBM DOS programs, subject to
certain limitations described in the IBM Operating System/2
documentation. OS/2 SE 1.2 will have a larger DOS environment than
the DOS environment in OS/2 SE 1.1.
Generally, the DOS environment is compatible to a subset of
IBM DOS 4.00 function. Support for disk files greater than 32MB was
included in IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1, and
is available in DOS compatibility mode. The IBM DOS 4.00 support for
greater than 25 lines of text mode display, and support for
additional video modes for PS/2 displays are also available in DOS
compatibility mode. The remaining new IBM DOS 4.00 functions, such
as the DOS Shell or LIM/EMS, are not supported. The interface for
the DOS compatibility environment has been significantly enhanced by
allowing DOS programs to be started from either the Desktop Manager
or the File Manager. The DOS command line interface that resembles
the one in DOS 3.30 is also provided. The IBM Operating System/2
Family API allows programs to be written that will run on IBM DOS
3.30, IBM DOS 4.00, IBM OS/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1 or Version
1.2.
Many existing DOS applications may be run in the DOS mode of
OS/2. Users should be aware that some DOS applications, such as
communications and timing dependent programs, may not function
properly in the DOS mode of OS/2.

COMPATIBILITY: The IBM Personal System/2 Model 30 286 (8530-E31) is
compatible with the IBM Personal Computer (5150), Personal Computer
XT and Personal Computer AT at the BIOS interface level (BIOS not
identical) and at most hardware interfaces. The Model 30 286 has
been designed to maintain compatibility with existing personal
computer software and non-timing dependent features. Due to the high
level of integration, features such as Personal Computer XT and
Personal Computer AT memory upgrades and graphic adapters are not
supported. Specific hardware products, features and software
products that have been tested and are supported in the Model 30 286
environment are listed in ATTACHMENT A. The Model 30 286 has not
been tested with all non-IBM features/options. Additional
information on the interface and attachment requirements may be
obtained by reviewing the IBM PERSONAL SYSTEM/2 MODEL 30 286
TECHNICAL REFERENCE (S01F-0237) manual, which can be ordered through
IBM or an authorized IBM dealer.
LIMITATIONS: Additional memory installed on the IBM Personal
System/2 Multifunction Adapter (30F5364) can only be used in a
Personal System/2 Model 30 286 with 0.5MB of memory installed on the
system board. Memory removed from the system board can be installed
on the PS/2 Multifunction Adapter.
The ability to use a non-IBM memory expansion card in the

USER GROUP REQUIREMENTS: The Model 30 286 (8530-E31) addresses
numerous customer requests and satisfies (partially or fully)
requirements submitted by the appropriate IBM User Group (for
example, SHARE, SEAS, GUIDE, European G.U.I.D.E. and ASG).
PLANNING INFORMATION
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: The Personal System/2 Model 30 286
(8530-E31) is designated as customer setup (CSU). CSU allowance is
one day.
CABLE ORDERS: No cabling is required, other than for system power
and display connections. Cables are provided with the system unit,
display, and keyboard, and the instructions are provided as part of
initial setup.
INSTALLABILITY: By following the setup instructions, the user
attaches the keyboard and peripherals and inserts the Reference
Diskette. Power is then turned on and Set Configuration is run after
the computer has successfully completed its initial self-tests.
The Model 30 286 has a universal power supply with an external switch
and may, therefore, be used worldwide. Additionally, there are no
setup switches.
PROBLEM DETERMINATION: If a failure is found at initial
installation, an instruction will appear on the screen. If the test
is successfully completed, the system attempts to load an operating
system from the A drive. If an operating system is not found, the
system attempts to load one from the C fixed disk drive. If an
operating system is not found, the user will be prompted to insert a
diskette via an icon. A final default is provided through the use of
a ROM-loaded BASIC interpreter as explained in the GUIDE TO
OPERATIONS.
The troubleshooting procedures consist of a power-on self
test, diagnostic tests, and easy-to-follow troubleshooting charts
designed to assist the user in isolating a defective machine element.
The failing element can then be replaced or repaired under existing
warranty provisions.

DESCRIPTION
The new models of the Personal System/2 Model 70 family, the
8570-061 and the 8570-A61, offer a new combination of 20MHz or 25MHz
80386 processor speed and 60MB fixed disk capacity. The system
features a 80386 microprocessor and 2MB of high speed memory
expandable to 16MB with memory options.
The 8570 comes standard with:
o 1.44MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive
o Fixed disk drive with integrated controller
o Keyboard port
o Pointing device port
o Serial/asynchronous port
o Parallel port
o Video Graphics Array (VGA) port
o Three I/O slots
o Keyboard.
The VGA port supports graphics and text modes including
640 x 480 graphics, 320 x 200 graphics in 256 colors, and 720 x 400
text, and yet maintains compatibility with Color Graphics Adapter
(CGA) and Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) modes.
The fixed disk drive has a capacity of 60MB. The fixed disk
controller is integrated with the drive.
DRIVE SPECIFICATIONS:
Capacity 60MB
Bytes/Sector 512
Sectors/Track 26
Cylinders 762
Number of Heads 6
Data Transfer Rate 8.4Mbps
Average Access Time 27ms
Sector Interleave 1:1
The system has two levels of BIOS that total 128KB. The
Compatibility BIOS (CBIOS) with memory addressability of up to 1MB
provides compatible support for current application programs. An
additional version of BIOS, Advanced BIOS (ABIOS) provides support
for multi-tasking operating systems and has extended memory
addressability up to 16MB.
The high level of feature integration on the system board
reduces the requirement for optional adapters. Memory on the system
board can be expanded to 6MB (8570-061) or 8MB (8570-A61). The
optional 80387 Math Co-Processor provides enhanced performance in
arithmetic calculations. In addition, the system is designed for
tool-free installation and includes security features in BIOS/CMOS
and an external keylock.
The 486/25 Power Platform is an optional upgrade kit for the
8570-A61. It significantly increases performance by replacing the
25MHz 80386 microprocessor with a 25MHz i486 (1) microprocessor.

Additional features of the system unit include:
o Three I/O slots (two 32-bit slots and one 16-bit slot with video
extension)
o 132-watt automatic voltage-sensing power supply
o Time and date clock with a built-in battery
o Additional position for a second 3.5-inch diskette drive or tape
backup unit
