Hi all...
I had a couple of problems with the Warp Pre-Release that I hope are fix{ed,
able} by the time I buy the program. Until then, does anybody have some ideas:
1. I have the Boot Manager installed. When my system boots from the Boot
manager partition, I get the error message:
Drive 2 not Ready. Press any Key to Continue.
Pressing a key works, and booting DOS or Warp from the boot manager can access
the second drive just fine. I don't get this error when i boot from floppy or
from either DOS or OS/2 directly (w/o the boot manager).
My drives are setup as following (all are FAT):
Disk 1: Boot Manager Partition
Primary Partition w/ DOS C:
Extended Partition w/ OS/2 E:
Disk 2: Primary Partition D:
2. I have a Diamond Stealth/32 card (ET4000/w32p). If I use this when setting
up Warp, everything seems to work. However, I lose sync if I try a mode with
16M colors, and modes with 64k colors only seem to use a 256 color pallete.
Very annoying. (These modes work in Windows). In OS/2 2.1 i had to configure
during install with a program supplied by Diamond (setmode.exe). If i do the
same with Warp, I get no SVGA options at all, and my mouse stops working
(Logitech C-series). Maybe is should manually insert the setmode command into
some startup file...which though?
Thanks for any and all help!
Oh, and if somebody could post this to usenet news, i would appreciate it. Our
usenet news service is unreliable.
