Adaptec 1505a is what I use.  It's an ISA card which I use to run a CDR and
an old 1G HDD.  Never had a problem.  Use the DOS util that is supplied with
it to disable PNP, then it functions as the old 63XX chipset.

	I'd stick with an Adaptec model, simply because they have pretty
good
	OS/2 support. There are others, which may be cheaper and some claim
	OS/2 support but I'd stick with Adaptec. Of course you'll need to
check
	a particular model, but I'm pretty sure all adaptec SCSI cards are
supported
	with the latest drivers releases except for the very cheap (single
connector)
	bottom of the range card, that is often supplied with Scanners of
CD-Rs.

	Cheers/2

Sounds like you haven't changed the homepage.  Open the preferences and
set the home page.  You can set to "Blank" or your favorite news page
or whatever.

Subject: [os2genau] Interesting bandwith tester

Checkout this site

http://www.activeenzymes dot com dot au/bandwidth/

Interestingly enough I get different values depending which
browser I use.

If I use Netscape 4.61 I get 1.6 MB/S

If I Use Mozilla 0.96 however, I get 2.2 MB/S reported

Using Opera just give garbage (probably lack of JAVA Support).

Would this suggest that Mozilla is about a quarter faster than netscape
now ?

I'd be interested what others find.

Cheers/2

Ed.

That sounds more like what I was after :). I'll keep an eye out for one.

Subject: Re: [os2genau] Slow processes in eCS

Hi,

Netscape on eCS seems very slow at deleting messages. When I highlight an e-mail message and
click on delete it takes about 5 seconds before the message is deleted. I'm sure it was faster
on my previous Warp4 installation. Is there any way to speed this up?

Also, IBM Works is much slower to load initially than on Warp4. Once opened and closed it of
course starts faster the next time and about the same speed as on Warp4. Is there any reason for
the slow initial loading? The strange thing is that it loads quickly if I have Netscape started
even if I haven't loaded it before.

My other office programs take about the same time as before to load.

Thanks for the tip David about selecting blank page. I hadn't noticed that before.

Regards,

Alan Duval
